lyrics

Sing While You Can by Kathy Kostelec
© May 23, 2011

A child is meant to dream
And a voice meant to sing
Lucky the ones I heard her say

Who find a way to fly
Though so many deny
With words that only foolish ones try

Though the years they passed her by
Still sometimes in the night
She hears the words that lift her spirit high

They say…
Sing while you can you’ve got nothing left to lose
You can unfold your wings if you choose
You’re an angel that hides on the dark side of the moon
And the world is just waiting for you

By chance or by plan
The letter found her hand
Words penned so many years ago

By one who lost the fight
For freedom and for life
But left these words that stirred her weary soul

They said…
Sing while you can you’ve got nothing left to lose
You can unfold your wings if you choose
You’re an angel that hides on the dark side of the moon
And the world is just waiting for you

Like a fan that feed a flame
The voice beyond the grave
It melted every chain that held her bound

Now the torch she carries high
For each girl who’s dreams have died
And she lifts her voice with fire she cannot hide

She says:
Sing while you can you’ve got nothing left to lose
You can unfold your wings if you choose
You’re an angel that hides on the dark side of the moon
And the world is just waiting for you
The world is just waiting...
