[00:18.94]I know it's late
[00:20.38]But I couldn't wait to call you on the phone
[00:26.10]It's been a while since I've been home
[00:33.58]All of this is my own choice
[00:36.48]Since the man upstairs has given me his voice
[00:40.49]No matter how long it takes
[00:43.97]No matter how hard the breaks
[00:46.52]I've gotta use it
[00:48.68]Or lose it
[00:50.41]I just can't stand to refuse
[00:53.26]A chance to do what I gotta do
[00:56.36]I gotta sing my song
[01:02.69]Sing the hatred into love
[01:09.76]Sing a praise to that man above
[01:17.01]Sing the tears into a smile ye-aaaah
[01:24.34]Sing until you all feel
[01:25.94]This is all worthwhile
[01:31.29]Sing it high sing it low
[01:34.75]Sing from deep within my soul
[01:38.40]Sing it loud and make it clear
[01:42.16]Sing so every one can hear
[01:45.85]Could it be lord chosen me because
[01:50.70]I'd be nothing
[01:54.36]If I couldn't sing
[01:56.58]My song
[02:00.68]By the way may I say thank you
[02:04.06]For the love you've shown
[02:08.10]All of these years since I've been born
[02:15.25]Papa thought I was college-bound
[02:18.80]And you expected me to settle down
[02:22.30]I'm not ignoring what you had in mind
[02:26.18]Neither do I wanna sound unkind
[02:28.63]Before I give up
[02:30.35]I gotta live up
[02:32.21]To a challenge to do my thing
[02:35.33]I gotta cut those apron strings
[02:38.73]Oh I've gotta sing my song
[02:42.10]All I wanna do is
[02:44.45]Sing the hatred into love yes I do
[02:51.07]Sing a praise to heav'n and above
[02:55.98]Sing the tears into a smile oh
[03:06.12]Sing into a feeling
[03:08.01]This is all worthwhile
[03:13.36]Sing it high sing it low
[03:16.82]Sing from deep within my soul
[03:20.45]Sing it loud and make it clear
[03:24.24]Sing so every one can hear
[03:27.49]Could it be lord chosen me because
[03:32.79]I'd be nothing
[03:38.03]I siad I'd be nothing
[03:42.88]If I couldn't sing
[03:45.53]If I couldn't sing
[03:48.73]My song
