If I Were A Voice

If I were a voice, a persuasive voice, If I were a voice, a convincing voice, If I were a voice, a consoling voice,
That could travel the wide world through,
I would fly on the beams of the morning light
And speak to men with a gentle might,
And tell them to be true.
I would fly I would fly o'er land and sea,
Wherever a human heart might be,
Telling a tale, or singing a song,
In praise of the right, in blame of the wrong.
If I were a voice, if I were a voice.
I'd fly on the wings of air;
The homes of sorrow and guilt I'd seek,
And calm and truthful words I'd speak,
To save them from despair.
I would fly, I would fly o'er the crowded town,
And drop, like the beautiful sunlight, down
Into the hearts of suffering men,
And teach them to look up again.
If I were a voice, if I were a voice.
I'd travel with the wind,
And whenever I saw the nations torn
By warfare, jealousy, spite, or scorn,
Or hatred of their kind,
I would fly, I would fly on the thunder crash,
And into their blinded bosoms flash
That ray of hope that cheers the mind,
And leaves all trace of grief behind.
If I were a voice, if I were a voice.
