You Were Meant to Sing

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sittin' on a sidewalk, chasin' dreams Always one step behind You wanna know why Kids are kicking cans on the street And you wonder why you missed out On the good life Always talkin' 'bout your misery But misery seeks company Why you wanna go And let your head hang low? [Chorus 1] Baby, you were meant to sing I'll push you on a swing Even though your heart is achin' Even though the ground is shakin' Live today on angel wings No matter what tomorrow brings Smile like a happy child Try to make it worth your while 'Cause it won't get better if ya hold it in Baby, you were meant to sing Sing Oh, yeah [Verse 2] Tummy used to rumble Pebbles used to make me stumble, but now I'm takin' everything in stride, whoa Buildings 'round me crumble Institutions tumble And I've never felt so alive It's all a matter of perspective It's like you're swimmin' in a fish tank When you're outside lookin' in And life's played pranks on you [Chorus 1] Baby, you were meant to sing I'll push you on a swing Even though your heart is achin' Even though the ground is shakin' Live today on angel wings No matter what tomorrow brings Smile like a happy child Try to make it worth your while 'Cause it won't get better if ya hold it in Baby, you were meant to sing [Bridge] People wanna tell you that's the way that it is That you're blessed or you're lucky Yeah, you're kinda hopeless Gettin' you confused when you listen to this Thinkin' that ya gotta fit in to exist But it's really up to you what you make outta this Every day is another day of bliss that you miss When you're stressin' 'cause you don't know how to pay your taxes Uh-oh All I know is this Baby, you were meant to sing Oh-oh-whoa-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Uh, uh [Chorus 2] Even when it hits the fan And nobody wants to hold your hand 'Cause you know exactly just where it's gonna land Even when the sky is fallin' And you just can't stop bawlin' And it's obvious that you're failin' every other thing 'cause [Chorus 1] Baby, you were meant to sing I'll push you on a swing Even though your heart is achin' Even though the ground is shakin' Live today on angel wings No matter what tomorrow brings Smile like a happy child Try to make it worth your while 'Cause it won't get better if you hold it in Baby, you were meant to sing Sing Sing
