It seems clear to me that "say" has multiple word senses. From wiktionary:

To pronounce.

Please say your name slowly and clearly.

To recite.

Martha, will you say grace?

To communicate, either verbally or in writing.

He said he would be here tomorrow.

To indicate in a written form.

The sign says it’s 50 kilometres to Paris.

It is precisely because the primary and secondary definitions of "say" are exclusively verbal that I chose "express".

 

dictionary.com:

ex·press

  1. to put (thought) into words; utter or state: to express an idea clearly.
