lyrics

What will I do with the voice I’ve been given

What will I do with the life I’ve been living

What will I do when my turn comes

Cower away or empty my lungs

I will sing from the top of the hill

I will sing like our wedding bells

I will sing till the war is done

I will sing for everyone

Call me a liar, call me a cheat

Call me a sinner for the man that I be

Call me the mirror, for shining through

Call me the quicksand for burying you

*** I will sing ***

Send my love out to the sea

What the bottle slowly carry me

If the waves fall hard tonight

I pray I did something with my life

*** I will sing ***
