If I could sing,
This would be my ballad.
And if I could sing,
I would not be
Here.

Would things have changed,
If I could sing?
Would torment be a fable
If I knew no
Fear?

If the world was different
And society was fair
And I could sing
Would I shed
Tears?

And when I listen to music,
With words or without,
I wish I could sing
So everyone could
Hear.
