If I Had a Voice


If I had a voice I would say
     How do you do?

If I had a voice I would tell
     everyone that everyone is O.K.

If I had a voice I would sing
     Hallelujah 

If I had a voice I would say
     how much I love you

If I had a voice I would sing
     at the top of my lungs

If I had a voice I would say
     how much I care

If I had a voice I would tell
     you what appears to be mysteries

If I had a voice I would sing
     the national anthem

If I had a voice I would say
     ...How come you're so mean?

If I had a voice I would tell
     Sister Irma all the bad things you say

If I had a voice I would sing
     in the shower

If I had a voice I would say
     how much you mean to me

If I had a voice I would tell you
     everything

If I had a voice I would sing
     to you in the morning

If I had a voice I would say
     Gee, I didn't mean
     to hurt you

If I had a voice I would tell you
     I'm HIV

If I had a voice I would sing
     "I love myself the way I am"
