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