"If I Cannot Fly, Let Me Sing"


We all have song in our hearts.

Many are afraid to be heard.

Some people do not sing.

No, they do not sing a word.

 

Why would someone hold back,

Unless they are afraid?

They do not want anyone to hear,

Afraid no attention will be paid.

 

Remember something now,

I hold this near to my heart.

Do not be afraid to sing, 

For your words are state of the art.
