Sing Your Song

Lift your voice loud and clear
Sing you Own melody for all to hear
Whether you are singing for peace out of fear
Or in longing for a loved one because they are not near

Sing your song
Like Etta James in
I'd Rather Be Blind
or Anita Baker in
Will You Be Mine

Show that you refuse to give up
on love you know is True
like the Temptations in
Ain't Too Proud to Beg
and Jennifer Holliday in
And I'm Telling You

Sing from the soul
Like Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, and Chaka Khan
Or let your song come out smooth and cool
Like Sade or Nat King Cole

Lift your voice high to the sky above
With the passion of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
in Your Precious Love
Or like Ottis Redding in
That's How Strong My Love Is
The way the words flow out of your mouth
The feeling of love can not be missed

Demand your listeners relive the experience
That you share through song
like Sam Cooke
And express yourself Without shame
like Millie Jackson in
If Loving You Is Wrong

Bring together different and beautiful voices
like they did in
We Are The World
Sing with a strong and powerful voice
that gives goosebumps
And make stomachs curl

I love such songs
that send a positive message
Like Donny Hathaway in
Little Ghetto Boy
Voice in song is truly a gift
and shouldn't be stored away
Like an old toy

Lift your voice loud and clear
Sing your own melody for all to hear
Whether your words and music
Inspire, Encourage, Relate, or simply Entertain
Just be sure to sing from the heart
And do your Own thing
