I sing songs

I sing songs when I'm angry
I sing songs when I'm sad
But my favorite songs I love to sing
Bring joy and make me glad

Joy is where my strength comes from
Not from wallowing in self-pity
Joy is where my strength comes from
Not from acting like I'm dead

I  sing
Songs of heartbreak
Songs of question
Songs that laugh
I sing
Songs of love
Songs of hope
Songs that laugh

I sing songs that fly
Through the tears in your eyes
Light at the end of tunnel
Will bring you around the river bend

I've never met you
But you know me
Smile and you'll see me
The glistening bird through the trees
