If I Were a Writer

If I were a writer, my words would flow right from my thoughts.
My reader wouldn't be confused, the meaning wouldn't be lost.

If I were a writer, I'd have a clear goal in my head.
I'd say just what I meant from the beginning to the end.

If I were a writer my words would shift into a song.
And when my reader read them, he would want to sing along.

If I were a writer, my words wouldn't stay stuck on a page.
They'd leap and bound and spread throughout the world; they'd make change.

If I were a writer, would it be so awfully hard
To make the people listen and to get my point across?

I know that it's too often my thoughts get trapped inside my brain,
And I'm sure they'd make a difference if I could get them out some way.

The world needs these words. People need to be spoken to.
And if I were a writer, I'd bring these words to you.
