If Only I Could

If only I could

If only I could make a change with a rhyme

I would gladly sit down and give it some time

With a pen in my hand and a tear in my eye

I would write it all down, or at least I would try

I'd cry every letter, the sweet song of a bird

And I'd sing it aloud till I formed every word

With pen in my hand and a tear in my heart

I would write it all out that's how I would start

Then I'd take from the rich and give to the poor

I'd feed all the hungry and end every war

I'd fight for world justice-equality,

So all over the earth, everyone could be free

Just a man with a poem, that burn's with a sting

I am no President, nor am I King

If I just had the chance then I certainly would

I would help make that change If only I could
