If Everyone Cared

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh!


Yami and Yugi were lying down on the fresh grass, staring at the beautiful night sky. Then the dark half turned to his hikari.

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

"Aibou," he said, "what do you think when you see the stars?" Yugi thought for a moment.

"Sometimes I think that they're satellites. Some of them are so big that I confuse them," he answered smiling. "What about you?"

Singing amen, I, I'm alive
Singing amen, I, I'm alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

Amen, I, Amen, I, I'm alive
Amen, I, Amen, I, Amen, I, I'm alive

"I never actually think something," said Yami. "I just stare at them and realize how beautiful their shine is."

"Yami, do you think we live in a beautiful world?" asked Yugi suddenly. Yami sat up.

"Why do you ask, aibou?"

"Because, I know that we're together, and that couldn't make me any happier, but…" The taller boy stared confusingly at his hikari. "How would the world be… if everyone cared?"

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing amen, I, I'm alive
Singing amen, I, I'm alive

"I think we would live in a paradise," replied Yami. "If everyone cared for one another, if there wasn't any hate, if we could live comfortably with what we already have…"

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

"And you know what?" he asked his partner, sitting up. "Now that we're talking about this, I just realize something." Yugi sat up too.

"What do you realize?"

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

"That we're just a small, very small part of this world," answered the dark half. "Wouldn't it be great, also, if all the people could love each other…" Yami grabbed Yugi's hand, "like we do?"

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...

"You know what, Yami? I think you're totally right," said the hikari, blushing slightly.

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...

"And there's something else."

"What is it, aibou?"

"If we're able to see that day; a day in which everyone will care for each other, forget their hate and leave behind their pride; then we'll see another bright day… in which nobody died."

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died…
