IF.
If you'd walk a little faster
Why, you'd get there little quicker.
If you'd work just bit harder
Why. you'd get done a little sooner;
If you'd sing little softer
why. your music would be sweeter;
Why. your ways would be more pleasant:
If you'd laugh instead of signing,
If you'd work instead of crying,
If you'd stand a man or woman,
Stand to fight life's battles truly
Stand for all these things I've named here
Why. you'd be Gods man and woman.
