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
