Solomon Burke - Perfect song lyrics

I wish there'd be a song that would Stop the hunger and pain Stop the poverty and strain For once and for all time Could there be a song that would Make the soldiers drop their guns Make the sun shine for the ones Hurt by violence and crime I wish there'd be a song that would Soothe the souls of those who suffer From their lives just getting tougher Until all hatred's gone astray And if there'd be a song that could Fertilize the desert Neutralize all hazard I would write one right away Once I wrote it we would sing it And it would be a perfect song Perfect verses Perfect chorus But I'm afraid I'd get it slightly wrong I wish there'd be a song that would Perform God's miracles Make the lame stand up and walk Give sight back to the blind And if there'd be a song that could Bring love and peace on earth Tear down every crooked church I'd write a dozen of the kind Once I wrote it we would sing it And it would be a perfect song Perfect verses Perfect chorus But I'm afraid I'd get it slightly wrong Once I wrote it we could sing it And it would be a perfect song Perfect verses Perfect chorus But I'm afraid I'd get it slightly wrong Perfect verses Perfect chorus But I'm afraid it can't be done Perfect Song
