THERE HAS TO BE A SONG
There has to be a song
There are too many dark nights,
too many troublesome days,
too many wearisome miles.
There has to be a song
To make our burdens bearable,
To make our hopes believable,
To transform our successes into praise.
To release the chains of past defeats.
Somewhere - down deep in a forgotten corner of each man's heart --
There has to be a song - -
Like a cool, clear drink of water,
Like the gentle warmth of sunshine,
Like the tender love of a child,
There has to be a song.
