My Song

I would sing it loud and I would sing it long
Straight from the heart I’d sing it true
Then I’d come back down from that singin' mountain
Life would be better 'cause I sang for you
It’s many a day that the road gets weary
And it’s many a day that the way is long
Often I say that I can’t do this no more
But I’d miss the travelin' and I’d miss the songs
'Cause I was born to sing but not to wind and space
But to people’s hearts and peoples tears
Tis a gift from God that I pray I’d use it
To sing to their hearts and sing to their ears
Yeah I would sing it loud and I would sing it long
Straight from the heart I’d sing it true
Then I’d come back down from that singin' mountain
Life would be better 'cause I sang for you
For a song can soar like a lofty eagle
And lift a heart that has fallen low
A song can shine like light in the darkness
And make the downcast look up and glow
I wish I owned a great high mountain
With people below every way I turned
They’d look up and every ear could hear me
And I’d sing my song to the hearts that yearned
And I would sing it loud and I would sing it long
Straight from the heart I’d sing it true
Then I’d come back down from that singin' mountain
Life would be better 'cause I sang for you
Yes I would sing it loud and I would sing it long
Straight from the heart I’d sing it true
Then I’d come back down from that singin' mountain
Life would be better 'cause I sang for you
Yes I would come back down from that singin' mountain
Life would be better 'cause I sang for you
