Sing

I could sing for the money
I could sing for the praise Spitting out nothing
Wasting time up on the stage Good folks are bleeding freedom Denied their truth
One thing I can do is sing for you
Sing for the suffering working slaves
Cast into debt they can never repay
Sing for their oppressors who still believe It’s either us or them, never harmony
Sing for the rebels who forgot their cause Dignity for all, whatever the cost
Who are looking at retirement
Don’t wanna be poor
But what about the children ravaged by war?
I could sing for the money
I could sing for the praise Spitting out nothing
Wasting time up on the stage Good folks are bleeding freedom Denied their truth
One thing I can do is sing for you
Sing for the sinners and hidden saints Lurking in the shadows, burdened with pain Sing for a future free from the past
Sing for a living that’s meant to last
Sing for togetherness, not the wall
Tears of human spirit are felt by all
Gotta do what I can, gotta live what I believe Learn to love and wear it on my sleeve
I could sing for the money
I could sing for the praise Spitting out nothing
Wasting time up on the stage Good folks are bleeding freedom Denied their truth
One thing I can do is sing for you
