If they would find a cure when I'm a kid
I could ride a bike, and sail on rollerblades, and
I could go on really long nature hikes


If they would find a cure when I'm a teenager
I could earn my license and drive a car, and
I could dance every dance at my senior prom


If they would find a cure when I'm a young adult
I could travel around the world and teach peace, and
I could marry and have children of my own


I could... if they would
I could... if they would


If they would find a cure when I'm grown old
I could visit exotic places and appreciate culture
And proudly share pictures of my grandchildren


If they would find a cure when I'm alive
I could live each without pain, and
I could celebrate the biggest "thank you" of life ever


I could... if they would
I could... if they would


If they would find a cure when I'm buried into heaven
I could still celebrate with my brothers and sister there, and
I could still be happy knowing that I,
Knowing that I, was a part of the effort
