Sing the ups
Sing the downs
And the silent people shaking the grounds
Sing the faith
Sing the truth
Burning fire in the belly of youth
Sing the progress
And some missteps
While we're making our way
Somedays it's so hard to escape the dark cloud
Hovering over our heads
I'm not gonna let them change my view
I'm not gonna let them paint me blue
Not this time, not any time,
I'm gonna sing me life
That's what I'm gonna do
Sing the bright day
From a long night
And a tunnel giving way to the light
Sing the good deeds
And the fowl plays
And crosses carried we all pay
There's a problem in our system
Souls can't fight the disease
But somedays it's so hard to escape the dark cloud
Hovering over our heads
I'm not gonna let them change my view
I'm not gonna let them paint me blue
not this time, not any time,
I'm gonna sing me life
That's what I'm gonna do
Instrumental
I'm not gonna let them change my view
I'm not gonna let them paint me blue
Not this time, not any time,
I'm gonna sing me life
That's what I'm gonna do
(And you should too)
