Sing Your Own Song |
Long ago I had a dream |
A man came up to me |
He gave me paper and a pen |
And a cast-iron guarantee |
He said «Write six words, make the next line rhyme |
Learn four basic chords |
When you’ve got the third line, well, in next to no time |
You’ll be wanting more» |
Well, I didn’t wanna know about a quid pro quo |
Or why he was picking on me |
Guess he didn’t know that I was tired of school |
And bored of poetry |
So I played along, stifled a yawn |
Perhaps he was wrong in the head |
And when I woke, I found a note |
And this is what it said: |
You can write your own words |
You can sing your own song |
And it doesn’t really matter if you’re out of tune |
Or if no one sings along |
You can write your own words |
And you can make your own rules |
And it doesn’t really matter how cool you are |
Or what grades you got at school |
When you sing your own song |
So I took the advice, suffice it to say |
That the rest is mystery |
And if anyone out there’s nervous or scared |
I suggest you listen to me |
You can write your own words |
You can sing your own song |
And it doesn’t really matter if you’re out of tune |
Or if no one sings along |
Cos if you do what you like |
And you like what to do |
Then someone somewhere knows you’re there |
And the world may come to you |
When you sing your own song |
Now I’m married and I have two kids |
And we sing songs all the time |
My four-year-old just makes them up |
Sometimes with explanatory mime |
No one’s told her that it’s difficult yet |
That isn’t in her head |
So we sing her song all evening long |
Right until it’s time for bed |
