I SING
Words and music
By Ann Hampton Callaway
VERSE
1. When my heart spills over
And it can't contain what's inside
When the joy or pain's
On a speeding train
And it won't let up
I get up and sing
REFRAIN
My heart's too wild and untamed
To stay still
Most hold it inside
But I never will
For long
I sing a song
I sing
VERSE
2. Where there's love, there's music
Where there's smoke, there's fire below
When the tide is rough
Words are not enough
When truth needs to be
Melody
I sing
REFRAIN
How could I live in this world
Without song?
I never could last
At least not for long
That sky
Dares me to fly
I sing
VERSE INSTRUMENTAL
REFRAIN
How does a time know
Just who it has been?
It wakes up a heart
And puts music in
To praise
Our nights and days
I sing
I sing
I sing
