Sing

You sing,

You sing so much, your mother gets mad at you

You sing so much, your dog probably gets tired of your voice

You sing anything from Johnny Cash to Beyoncé

from The Temptations to 5 Seconds of Summer

Music has always healed you and it'll heal you again

You've always sang

Vacation Bible School and hymns at church, when your faith was strong

Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings when your faith was not

and your mother sang off-key to classic rock on the radio

and your father sang softly to classic country on the radio

on long drives home

on long drives when anger was in the air

on long drives when you were going somewhere

different, new

same, old

you'll always sing

you know

singing is just a piece of your soul

so you sing

you've always sang

and you'll sing in times of hardship

and you'll sing in praise

you're singing right now

and you'll sing again.
