If
Jimmy Chew Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If it wasn't for this,
and wasn't for that.
It could be a better world.
If we learn to love each other.
Try to live just like sister and brother.
A peaceful world this would be.
It's a great, big world you see.
If it wasn't for this,
and wasn't for that.
It could be a better world.
If we learn to love each other.
Try to live just like sister and brother.




A peaceful world this would be.
It's a great, big world you see.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "If" by Jimmy Chew Band emphasize the idea that the world could be a better place if people were more loving and lived in harmony. The use of conditional propositions with "if it wasn't for this, and wasn't for that" suggests that the present state of our world is not as good as it could be because of our actions and choices. The song encourages individuals to love each other regardless of differences or hardships and to live as if we were all siblings, sharing a bond of peace and harmony.


The repetition of the lines "Try to live just like sister and brother" and "A peaceful world this would be" highlights the song's message of love and peace. The use of "you see" in the final line suggests that the concept of a peaceful world is not just a fantasy, but a possibility that can be realized if we work towards it.


Line by Line Meaning

If it wasn't for this,
If the negative factors and obstacles that exist were removed,


and wasn't for that.
And all the other issues that also contribute to the problem were addressed,


It could be a better world.
Then things would start to improve and the world would become a better place.


If we learn to love each other.
If we can develop a shared sense of compassion and empathy for one another,


Try to live just like sister and brother.
And strive to treat every person we encounter with the same love and respect we would give to our own siblings,


A peaceful world this would be.
Then the world would become a more harmonious and tranquil place.


It's a great, big world you see.
At the end of the day, the world is vast and full of complexity.
