I sing

It is like a rainbow
that has lost its colors
It is like a swallow
that flies but is afraid
It's like people who love1
but don't say so aloud2
Where I'm from, those who bleed3
give out what they don't have
 
And if I'm dogged by life
I will know what to do4
I was taught about it
'won't be caught by surprise5
 
I sing, I sing
All I know how to do6
I sing, I sing
for my Mom, for my Dad7
I sing, I sing
My voice is all I have
And so I sing
even when all is wrong
 
It is like time that flies
We're as silent as it
I know, people who race8
Live life quite differently9
It's like those who are scared10
but know how to hide it
Where I'm from, those who crylit. 'At home, people who cry
Laugh about it instead11
 
And if I'm dogged by life
I will know what to do4
I was taught about it
'won't be caught by surprise5
 
I sing, I sing
All I know how to do6
I sing, I sing
for my Mom, for my Dad7
I sing, I sing
My voice is all I have
And so I sing
even when all is wrong
 
I sing, I sing
I sing, I sing
I sing, I sing
And so I sing
even when al is wrong
 
I sing when there is pain12
When life is not so nice13
In my dreams, I do sing
- All I know how to do14
 
I sing, I sing
All I know how to do6
I sing, I sing
for my Mom, for my Dad7
I sing, I sing
My voice is all I have
And so I sing
even when all is wrong
 
I sing, (I sing), I sing
All I know how to do6
I sing, (I sing), I sing
for my Mom, for my Dad7
I sing, I sing
My voice is all I have
And so I sing
even when all is wrong
