It’s many a day that the road gets weary
And it’s many a day that the way is long
And often I say I won’t do it no more
But I’d miss the travelin and I’d miss the songs
I was born to sing but not to wind and space
But to people’s hearts and peoples tears
Tis a gift from God that I pray I’d use it
to sing to their hearts and sing to their ears and
I would sing it loud, I would sing it long
Straight from the heart I would sing it true
Then I’d come back down from that singin mountain
And your life would be better cause I sang it for you
For A song can soar like a lofty eagle
And lift a heart that has fallen low
A song can shine like light in the darkness
And make the downcast look up and glow
I wish I owned a great high mountain
With people below every way I turned
I wish they’d look up and every ear could hear me
And I’d sing my song to the hearts that yearned and
I would sing it loud, I would sing it long
Straight from the heart I would sing it true
Then I’d come back down from that singin mountain
And your life would be better cause I sang it for you
