I've Got To Sing My Song

I know its late
I couldnt wait to call you on the phone
tis been a while since Ive been home
All of this was my own choice
Coz the man upstairs has given me this voice
No matter how long it takes
No matter how hard the breaks
Ive gotta use it!
Or lose it!
I just cant stand to refuse
Chance to do what I gotta do
I gotta sing my song
Sing the hatred into love
Sing a praise to heaven and above
Sing the tears into a smile yeah
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 everyone can hear
Could it be Lord, chosen me because
I'd be nothing
If I couldnt sing
My song
By the way may I say thank you
For the love youve shown
All of these years since Ive been born
Papa thought I was college-bound
And you expected me to settle down
Im not ignoring what you had in mind
Neither do I wanna sound unkind
Before I give up!
I gotta live up!
To a challenge to do my thing
I gotta cut loose the April strings
Oh Ive gotta sing my song
(All I wanna do is)
Sing the hatred into love
Sing a praise, to the heaven and above
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
Id be nothing
If I couldnt sing
My song
