If Everyone Believed Lyrics

It was 1983On a snowy Christmas EveWith my familyAnd the Christmas tree and lightsThat was when it all went wrongSomeone turned the TV onAnd the evening newsBroadcast the blues that nightBut my dad saw my despairHe put his arm around me thereHe said, "Let me tell you thisIt's my lifelong Christmas wish"He saidIf everyone believedOh, what a happy place it would beWe'd live in peace on earth as a great big familyIf everyone believedNow the years have come and goneBut that Christmas wish lives onIt's the thing I prayWhen the holidays draw nearSee David Phelps LiveGet tickets as low as $69You might also likeYou see the news is still real sadAnd people, they're both good and badBut you just might copeIf you spread some hope and cheerSo as we sing 'Joy To The Earth'And celebrate the Savior's birthI pull my family close to meAnd tell them how the world could beIf everyone believedOh, what a happy place it would beWe'd live in peace on earth as a great big familyIf everyone believedAnd I know that it's easy to sayOh, but I'm gonna dream it anyway'Cause a dream becomes a songAnd when we sing it we pass it onIf everyone believedOh, what a happy place it would beWe'd live in peace on earth as a great big familyIf everyone believed, if everyone believedEmbedCancel

How to Format Lyrics:

• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines

• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
