Thread Name: Lyr Add: I Am the Song
Subject: New Song: I Am The Song
I did this in Paltalk tonight, and someone asked for the words. I think it could do with a couple more verses. I feel like I'm leaving a lot out, but I don't want to make it too long.

I Am The Song

The farmer toiled behind the plow
The sweat was heavy on his brow
He's nothing but a memory now
But I am the song

The time of whaling's passed and gone
And those whalers ways, for right or wrong
But still their voices linger on
For I am the song

Countless people, countless lives
Nothing but their song survives
But still their spirits carry on
For I am the song

For they sang it out in voices strong
And to their children passed it on
For me to one day come upon
And I am the song

It's more than just the words you sing
Or the way the notes can ring
The song is the people
And I am the song
