Sing

Sing! Sing a song.
Sing out loud.
Sing out strong.
Sing of good things, not bad,
Sing of happy, not sad.

Sing, sing a song.
Make it simple to last your whole life long.
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear.
Just sing, sing a song!
la, la, la…

Sing! Sing a song.
Let the world sing along.
Sing of love there could be.
Sing for you and me.
La, la, la…
