lyrics

When We Sing

We sing because we love
We sing because we must
There’s a world of song around us
A world not always just

When we sing We feel alive
When we sing We are free
When we sing We gather memories
When we sing We are at peace

We sing because we suffer
We sing so we can fly
For all who feel this hunger
We sing ourselves alive

When we sing We are lovers
When we sing We will survive
When we sing We will recover
What we needed For our lives

In a world full of people
There’s only some
that want to fly

In a time full of hardship
Only some want
to help each other

Why would we want to live in fear?
There are some
who want to learn to love

In a world full of darkened skies
We are the ones
Who want to fly

want to fly / who want to fly


We sing out every morning
We sing the sky at noon
Sing in the summer thunder
Sing out the winter gloom

When we sing Nothing can hurt you
When we sing We are safe
When we sing Song is our refuge
When we sing Our home in place

Music comes from heaven
It gathers in our skies
With stars above us wheeling
We sing the world to life

When we sing We are aline
When we sing We are free
There’s a world Of song within us

We sing out through our lives
through our lives we sing
in the skies we sing
to each other we sing
for all time
