If my tiny little voice

Could be heard, loud and clear

What would I say?

What would I change?

 

I would say,

We need to love each other

We need to stop fighting.

I would change

All the hate and the war

All the civilian casualties.

 

If my itty bitty words

Could be heard, in every place

What would I say?

What would I change?

 

I would say,

We need to stop oppressing each other

We need to listen to what everyone has to say.

I would change

All the crushed spirits

All the broken dreams.

 

If my single, shaking voice

Could make a difference

What would I say?

What would I change?

 

I would talk until I'd used up all the air

That I'd been given to talk with.

I would change every last thing

That we humanitarians fight to fix.

Feminism, LGBTQ rights, racial inequality

Wage gaps, corruption, abuse.

 

I would fix every last thing

There was to be fixed

Until the only thing

That needed to be changed

Would be

How perfect the world is.
