Sing - Live

Lyrics

She stands alone And knows the only thing that matters is The music that she's holding She's been in practice rooms for hours With a piano And the musical director And his nasty old assistant This is the moment that she's only dreamt before But now the life she's known will change forevermore As She takes a breath And holds it in And tries to make it seem like she's not really nervous While on her neck she feels the stare From the director Who's been tearing her to pieces While he prays that she'll succeed Within her sight a room of light and expectation But now she feels the bliss of this anticipation As she sings She sings She sings The organ swells with heaven sound And all around the room is majesty and wonder Two women listen and react One seething jealously The other watching gently as if dazed with what she hears They didn't know that she was magical and rare Until the moment when her voice would fill the air And Now see the face of the producer How he looks to us As if to ask the question 'Can you believe her?' 'Have you ever heard a voice like that? I'll tell you, no you haven't Don't you know that I will make this girl a star' As he sees dollar signs and lines out every door All that I see is her, like me, forevermore As we sing We sing We sing She'll find a thrill upon that ride To heights so high as fate collides But what she has inside of her With every note and every word I've seen the faces gazed and all I've heard the cheers at curtain call A life lived unlike anything Is that why I sing? Why I sing? Why do I sing? And then I see him Standing there behind the others It's the quiet young composer He can't believe what he is witnessing The music Simply soaring to the heavens In this magical embrace And as I look and wonder what he's dreaming of Right then I see that he's the one I long to love That's why I sing I sing I sing
