He Started To Sing

He was a daytime sleeper
He never would go much deeper
Than his mother and dad expected
Another one so neglected
It was a blessing in disguise
'Cause one day he opened up his eyes

Chorus:
And started to sing of love just to find it
He started to sing his way to the light
He was born with the master key
To unlock a melody and make it right

They told him to buckle down and pay attention
They taught him to swallow his dreams and his ambitions
So he followed their rules of life by intimidation
To the point where he couldn't find an inspiration
Then he began to wonder why
And suddenly opened up his eyes

Repeat chorus

He found it, a reason
To open his wings and rise above his world of pain
He knows it, he shows it
And so he will sing of love

Never again will he beg to be heard by the powers that be
Never again will he change all his words, 'cause he's gotta be

free
He's been there before and he's learned to ignore what they want

him to see
He'll write down the truth and he'll sing it to you, you don't

have to agree
And no one will ever hold him down
Because of the freedom that he found

Repeat chorus
