I've Got To Sing My Song

<p>I know it&#x27;s late<br/>I couldn&#x27;t wait to call you on the phone<br/>It&#x27;s been a while since I&#x27;ve been home<br/>All of this was my own choice<br/>Since the man upstairs has given me this voice<br/>No matter how long it takes<br/>No matter how hard the breaks<br/>I&#x27;ve gotta use it!<br/>Or lose it!<br/>I just can&#x27;t stand to refuse<br/>Chance to do what I gotta do<br/>I&#x27;ve got to sing my song<br/><br/>Sing the hatred into love<br/>Sing a praise to the man above<br/>Sing the tears into a smile yeah<br/>Sing until I feel<br/>This is all worthwhile<br/>Sing it high, sing it low<br/>Sing from deep within my soul<br/>Sing it loud and make it clear<br/>Sing so everyone can hear<br/>Could it be Lord, I&#x27;m chosen me because<br/>I’d be nothing<br/>If I couldn&#x27;t sing<br/>My song<br/>By the way may I say thank you<br/>For the love you&#x27;ve shown<br/>All of these years since I&#x27;ve been born<br/>Papa thought I was college-bound<br/>And you expected me to settle down<br/>I&#x27;m not ignoring what you had in mind<br/>Neither do I wanna sound unkind<br/>Before I give up!<br/>I gotta live up!<br/>To a challenge to do my thing<br/>I gotta cut loose the Apron strings<br/>Oh I&#x27;ve gotta sing my song<br/><br/>(All I wanna do is)<br/>Sing the hatred into love<br/>Sing a praise, to the man above (thank you Lord)<br/>Sing the tears into a smile ye-aaaah<br/>Sing until I feel<br/>This is all worthwhile<br/>Sing it high, sing it low<br/>Sing from deep within my soul<br/>Sing it loud, and make it clear<br/>Sing so every one can hear<br/>Could it be Lord, I&#x27;m chosen me because<br/>I&#x27;d be nothing<br/>If I couldn&#x27;t sing<br/>My song
