- If If Auschwitz hadn't happened, if September were another, I'd say that you were mine, I'd say we'd stay together, In any darkness, weather; if Beirut were filled with flowers, Jerusalem a town, I'd say we'd live forever, I'd say we'd be together; If Afghanistan were peaceful, if America were other, I'd say we're made for one another, I'd say eternity; If Rwanda never happened, Sudan were prosperous, I'd say we'd love forever, I'd say a god was there, so glorious in us; If Israel were milk, and Palestine of honey, and China were so sweet, We'd lie together there, I'd say you were the rose, All among the fairest; if one voice hadn't happened, Another took its place, I'd say your name forever, And we would live forever; if September were another, A day of bright fall weather, if Auschwitz hadn't happened, In any darkness, weather, I'd say that we were peaceful, I'd say eternity, if animals still roamed free, if there were animals, I'd say a god was there, so glorious in us, all among the fairest; If one voice hadn't happened, another took its place. _
