Didn't have much time to work on this, it is just straight into the mic, not much prep, little instrumentation, very minimalistic and a quick mix. But maybe that is point. :)
What If
By David Snyder
V1
What if we could feel it
what if we could heal
our broken souls
what if we could
fall in love again
with everyone we know
what if we could stop it
stop all the hate we have inside
what would it take
to turn it off
where would we go to hide
CH
Just to feel it
Just to feel the love we had inside
long before the war came
and they forced us to choose sides
what if we could feel it
the lovely world we had inside
could we just say no
to all these awful little lies
V2
What if we could know it
What if we could know
the truth outside
what if we could
see the good again
could we say no to all these bribes
what if we could see it
what a person really was inside
if we knew
that we had all been wrong
would it come as a surprise
CH
Just to feel it
Just to feel the love we had inside
long before the war came
and they for forced us to choose sides
what if we could feel it
the lovely world we had inside
could we just say no
to all these awful little lies

I think you're right - the more minimalistic mix is a good idea. With a song like this, get us focused on the voice and the words. Almost get some "We Are the World" vibes from the driving groove and message of global unity and hope.

Simple mix is good! Like the vocal stylings you have, remind me a bit of Wayne Coyne from Flaming Lips. Really enjoyable listen, thanks.
