SPEAKING OUT

What would happen if I asked you
what would happen if I said
what would happen if I laughed loud
and if we broke the daily bread

what would happen if we stood tall
would it tear the world apart
what would happen, would the sky fall
would it fall upon their hearts

what would happen if we saw them
creeping darkly in the night
what would happen, would the chains fall
- drag them deadly out of sight

what would happen if you loved me
what would happen if I said
what would happen if we left the wine
and poured it on their heads instead

what would happen if I asked you
what would happen if I said
peace and joy forever
with delicious daily bread
