Secret Crowds

If I had my own world,
I'd build you an empire.

If I had my own world,
I'd fill it with wealth and desire.
A glorious past to admire,
And voices of kids out walking dogs, birds, planes, cleanest cars.

If I had my own world,
I'd love it for all that's inside it.
There'd be no more wars, death or riots.
There'd be no more police, packed-parking lots, guns, bombs sounding off.

If I had my own world,
I'd build you an empire.
From here to the far lands,
To spread love like violence. (x2)

Let me feel you, carry you higher.
Watch your words spread hope like fires.
Secret crowds rise up and gather.
Hear your voices sing back louder.

If I had my own world,
I'd show you the life that's inside it.
The way that it glows when you find it.
And the way it survives with its families, friends or its enemies.

Let's make this a new world.
I swear you can go if you want to.
I know that you have that within you.
Inventing the first clean and useable, gods greatest miracle.

If I had my own world,
I'd build you an empire.
From here to the far lands,
To spread love like violence. (x2)

Let me feel you, carry you higher.
Watch your words spread hope like fires.
Secret crowds rise up and gather.
Hear your voices sing back louder. (x4)
