Write a new song- "If I Could Put My Life Into a Song"


If I could put my life into a song
If I could put my life into some words and melody
I'd sing about this kid who cried just like a little girl
Who never asked much of anyone except to treat him with respect
Who never got the clue about what was right or wrong
If I could put my life into a song

If I could put my life into a song
If I could put my life into some rhymes and verses, too
I'd worry about who I was bothering by singing right out loud
And then I'd find some others who had felt just the same
Maybe get applause for coming forward and acting oh so strong
If I could put my life into a song

If I could just express the sentiments I hold so dear
And not worry about how it sounded for others to hear
I would sing it with all my heart and soul and feel valid on my terms
I'd stand tall with courage, unafraid to show just what I'd learned
Put my life on the line and live to see the light
No more fight if I could put my life in song

If I could put my life into a song
If I could put my life into another verse or more
I'd add some humor to make you pay attention for some time
I'd spill my guts about my past in a way that you could hear
Just what I'd been through time and again only to triumph after all
If I could put my life into a song

If I could just express the sentiments I hold so dear
And not worry about how it sounded for others to hear
I would sing it with all my heart and soul and feel valid on my terms
I'd stand tall with courage, unafraid to show just what I'd learned
Put my life on the line and live to see the light
No more fight if I could put my life in song

If I could put my life into a song
If I could put my life into another verse or more
I'd add some humor to make you pay attention for some time
I'd spill my guts about my past in a way that you could hear
Just what I'd been through time and again only to triumph after all
If I could put my life into a song
If I could put my life into a song
