If Everyone Cared
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight
Singing Amen, I'm alive (I'm alive)
Singing Amen, I'm alive
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive (I'm alive)
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
Then we'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
Then we'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

Line by Line Meaning
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
We are in a peaceful and natural environment looking up at the heavens
Confusing stars for satellites
We sometimes mistake natural wonders for man-made objects
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
I am surprised and grateful to have someone special in my life
But here we are, we're here tonight
We are together in this moment and enjoying each other's company
Singing Amen, I'm alive (I'm alive)
I am expressing gratitude for my existence and the opportunity to experience life
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If people showed empathy and concern for others, and no one was suffering or hurting emotionally
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If people were genuine and honest in their relationships and interactions with each other
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
If people were willing to be selfless and put the needs of others ahead of their own ego
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If we could achieve all of these things, we could create a world without unnecessary loss of life
And in the air the fireflies
The only source of light in our paradise-like environment are the glowing insects
Our only light in paradise
The fireflies are our only illumination in this beautiful place
We'll show the world they were wrong
We will prove to others that their negative beliefs or actions were misguided
And teach them all to sing along
We will inspire others to join us in our positive outlook and actions
And as we lie beneath the stars
As we relax under the celestial bodies above
We realize how small we are
We gain perspective on our place in the universe and our connection to everything else
If they could love like you and me
If others could show the same kind of affection and connection that we feel
Imagine what the world could be
We envision a better and more harmonious world if this were the case
Then we'd see the day, we'd see the day
We would witness a positive change of a significant magnitude
When nobody died
Without unnecessary loss of life or suffering
