IF WISHES WERE HORSES

If wishes were horses 

Then beggars might ride

Then men would not intend 

To be like lions

Vanquishing another's pride

If wishes were horses 

Then beggars might ride 

Then men would be the Emperor penguin

Braving the winter's cold

To stand by his hatchlings side

If wishes were horses 

Then beggars might ride 

Then sin would vanish in the wind

Crushed by eagles talons as they fly 

If wishes were horses 

Then beggars might ride

Then men would be heaven sent 

And the violence would subside

If wishes were horses then beggars might ride

Then men would all consent

To let peace be their guide

If wishes were horses then beggars might ride

Then all men

Would live as friends

And community would win the day

As opposed to selfish pride
