If I Want To Lyrics

I see what people do
I hear what people say
I know there's trouble everywhere
I see it everyday
Some things won't get better
Some people won't get through
But I can dream of a better world
If I want to
If I want to imagine peace on every hand
I close my eyes
And dream my dreams
In dreams I make a stand
Anytime I start missing
Human harmony I listen hard
Until I hear the music inside of me
I can sing of a better world if I want to
I can dream of a better world if I want to
And I want to
You walk down any street
You don't know what you'll find
Sometimes it takes me all I have
To face a world unkind
I won't give up trying
I won't just let it go
I still believe you can plant a dream
If you want to

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
