And if I were the world
I would stop turning
And if I were the trees
I would stop burning
And if I were the sky
I would fall down, down, down
Because what goes up must come —
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
Down, down, down,
Down, down, down
So many unhappy faces
In so many unhappy places
And if I were the king would anything change?
Because after time,
Only the faces and the names are rearranged
And if I were the world
I would stop turning
And if I were the trees
I would stop burning
And if I were the sky
I would fall down, down, down
Because what goes up must come —
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
And if I were the world
I would stop turnin'
