If I were singing in the Park, would you sing with me?
If you were playing your guitar, could I watch you play?
If we were all thumping drums, would you help us thump a little louder?
If we let you throw our football, would you bring it back?
If I hit you with my frisbee, could you let it slide?

Would an apology be enough?
Would my empathy get your forgiveness?
If I swore not to do it again
If I promised it was a one-time thing
If you felt the wind blow this once and you could just let this go
If you would be so kind as to let it slide
Let it slide
If you understood my intentions and would relieve me of contention
If you would be so kind as to let it slide
Let it slide

If I were singing on a hill, would you look up to me?
If I were dancing in public places, would you dance with me?
If I had pennies to my name, could you share with me?
If you gave me your word, would you be honest with me?
If we were to help you out, would you live gratefully?
If there’s a way to help you out, would you tell it to me?
If I hit you with my frisbee, would you let it slide?

-Chorus-

If I gave you my heart, what would you give back to me?
If you allowed me to share your time, what would you expect from me?
If we had a plethora of money, could you donate it with me?
If I lost all of my patience one day, would you still be patient with me?
If I gave everyone my positive spirit, could they acknowledge it please?
If I hit you with my frisbee, would you let it slide?

If I were helping feed the homeless, would you lend your hands too?
If I were picking up some garbage, would you volunteer too?
If you had a vision of great proportion, you could share that too.
If we ran a project to share our knowledge, I would see you there too.
If we gave up our own self interests, it would take only a day or two.
If I hit you with my frisbee, could you just let it slide?
Let it slide. Let it slide.
If you understood my intentions and would relieve me of contentions
If I hit you with my frisbee, could you just let it slide?
Let it slide.
Let it slide.
Life is more communal when we are all sincere with each other
So we can hit you with our frisbee and have you just let is slide.
