I sing out loud to fill the empty space Safe within the music's warm embrace I sing to give me strength and let the rhythm ease my pain To seek the truth inside the next refrain And I will sing for my supper And I will sing for my soul And I will sing for all the things that make me whole And so I sing, oh yes, I sing I sing in waves upon the rising tide I sing to fix these broken parts inside I sing whenever blues start fading into shades of gray I sing new songs to chase old ghosts away And I will sing when days grow shorter Just to keep my hope alive And I will sing to all the stars up in the sky And I will sing, oh yes, I sing Every lesson I have learned Every scar that I have earned Taught me how to raise a joyful noise So now for each and every voice denied their songs of choice I must sing, I'm bound to sing And so I sing, oh yes, I sing That's why I sing...
