Sing Me A Song

(Alan Anton and Michael Timmons)

Sing me a song about life in America
sing me a song of love
sing me a song about life in your neighborhood
Sing me a song of love.

I know a man who dropped to his knees
clasping his hands in prayer
“beside him”, she said “it looked more like grief”,
but mostly she just didn’t care.

Tell me a tale about the one you keep near
Sing me a song of joy
tell me a tale about those that are dear
sing me a song of joy.

She veiled her days in pale hues of gray
the brightness of her children an undoing.
She spent all her days in a cold burning rage
the brightness of her children was galling.

Unburden your hearts, let loose your fear
sing me a song of forgiveness
make a fresh start, face all year fears
sing me a song of forgiveness.

He came to that moment in everymans’ life
he confronted the path before him.
Betrayed by the emptiness, days without light
he turned and he made a decision.

Sing me a song of love, sing me a song of joy.

“Beside him”, she said “it looked more like regret”,
but mostly she’d like to forget.
