If I Had a VOCA
(Voice Output Communication Aid)
(Tune: If I Had a Hammer)*
If I had a VOCA,
I'd talk in the morning
I'd talk in the evening
All over this land.
I'd talk about justice,
I'd talk about freedom,
I'd talk about love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.
If I had a keyboard,
I'd type in the morning,
I'd type in the evening,
All over this land
I'd type about justice,
I'd type about freedom,
I'd type about love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.
If I had a story,
I'd write it in the morning,
I'd write it in the evening,
All over this land.
I'd write about justice,
I'd write about freedom,
I'd write about love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.
Well I got a VOCA,
And I got a keyboard,
And I got a story to write,
all over this land.
It's the VOCA of Justice,
It's the keyboard of Freedom,
It's the story about Love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.
It's the VOCA of Justice,
It's the keyboard of Freedom,
It's the story about Love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.
