Sing you, for the children
Sing, we’re all the same,,
Sing for joy and happiness
Even through the pain.
~
Sing you, for the future
Sing for all you gain,
Sing for the tomorrows
Sing through all the pain.
~
Sing you, for those suffering
Sing without the blame,
Sing with much forgiveness
Sing thru all the pain.
~
Sing you, thru all weather
Sing thru all the rain,
Sing, your voices raised on high,
Sing thru all the pain.
~
Sing you, ’cause you’re living
Sing thru all the strain,
Sing for all those loving
Much stronger than …
… your pain!
~

AnElephantCant claim he’s a singer
Although he is pretty mean on a trumpet
And when he’s in the shower
He toots with great power
You just gotta like it or lump it

AnElephantCant be modest, I’m guessing he sounds pretty darn good in the shower, especially with his trumpet blowing!

Haha, yeah it’s lovely – if you like the sound of a cat in pain. I was in a school play once and the music teacher told me to mime as my singing was atrocious LOL
