Lyrics: For Only a Day

 

For Only a Day

If the world was filled with laughter
If only for a day
Every nation, each generation
For a hundred years thereafter
The people still would say
"Can you recall when the walls that divide us did fall?"

For laughter lasts forever
Only sadness fades away
And a memory gets bigger given age
If the world was filled with laughter for a day

If the world was filled with laughter
A carnival parade
Nations of showmen, crossing the ocean
And the cares we had were cast off
And lost along the way
Crushed int he hands that we held and the love that we felt

For a smile can calm an army
Till the passion fades away
And those that they would harm just go their way
If the world was filled with laughter for a day

If the world was filled with laughter
A carnival parade
Nations of showmen, crossing the ocean
And the cares we had were cast off
And lost along the way
Crushed int he hands that we held and the love that we felt

For a smile can calm an army
Till the passion fades away
And those that they would harm just go their way

If the world was filled with laughter
If only for a day
Every nation, each generation
Many hands would be held
So much love would be felt
If the world was filled with laughter for a day

For only a day
(If the world waѕ filled with laughter for a dаy)
