I know it's late But I couldn't wait to call you on the phone It's been a while since I've been at home All of this was my own choice Since the man upstairs has given me this voice No matter how long it takes No matter how hard the breaks I've gotta use it! Or lose it! I just can't stand to refuse A chance to do what I've gotta do I've got to sing my song Sing the hatred into love Sing a praise, to heaven 'bove Sing the tears, into a smile ye-aaaah Sing into a feeling This is all worthwhile Sing it high, sing it low Sing from deep within my soul Sing it loud, and make it clear Sing so every one can hear Could it be Lord, chosen me because I'd be nothing If I couldn't sing My song By the way may I sing For the love you've shown All of these years since I've been born Papa thought I was college-bound And you expected me to settle down I'm not ignoring what you had in mind Neither do I wanna sound unkind Before I give up! I gotta love up! To a challenge to do my thing No, I've to cut, lose the? Oh, I've got to sing my song! (All I wanna do is:) Sing the hatred into love, yes I do Sing a praise, to the man above (Thank You Lord) Sing the tears, into a smile ye-aaaah Sing it to love you This is all worthwhile Sing it high, sing it low Sing from deep within my soul Sing it loud, and make it clear Sing so every one can hear Could it be Lord, chosen me because I'd be nothing If I couldn't sing My song
