Tucked away in a corner of a closet Is a bell that we got you as a little one Often times in the night I would ring it When I found you troubled and awake And you would drift away to slumber To dream Then the days went by like a freight train Moving fast by the plains and the prairie grains No one ever did explain You got it on your own It's such a privilege to see you become So sing it loud So everyone knows who you are Stood by and I watched you make choices Bit my tongue when I saw you taking chances Watched you go through strings of romances Still I never had a doubt I always knew you knew who you were And when the days get dark with confusion You can always give your burdens to the music And even when I'm gone There is a song that will play on and on And on So sing it loud So everyone knows who you are So sing it loud So you can remember who you are
