Det ville vore fint
Om sorg va uoppfunne
Tenk om smerten hadde tapt
Og va nå øvevunne'
Det ville vore fint
Om me alltid handla rett
Og at å elska og gjør godt
Va fydefullt og lett

Det e'kje sånn det e min venn
Me ramle å får vondt
Men me reise ods igjen og igjen og igjen

Det ville vore fint
Om alltid alt va bra
Tenk om kvart et barn va lykkeligt
Og tryggt og glad
Det ville vore fint
Om me gjor som Jesus sa oss:
Elska vår neste
Og alrdi støtte nåken fra oss
Det e'kje sånn det e min venn
Me svikte og gjer vondt

Og må ha tilgivelse igjen og igjen og igjen
Men det ville vore fint
