I Could...If They Would Poem by: Mattie Stepanek
Song Written by: John Stone

Originally performed by: n/a Search for audio clips of this song

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

This song has such a great meaning. The message of it is almost identical to "Elizabeth." Mattie is simply stating that if doctors could find a cure for the muscular dystrophy he suffers, then he could experience all that life has to offer. It's a shame that some kids are so hindered with disease that they can't live a typical life.
