The Songs We Sing

What if I've missed the truth until just now? What if all this is only colour and sound? Just catchy tunes Just rhythm and rhyme Just background noise To pass the time Oh the songs we sing Do they mean anything? For it's all been said and done before Nothing new under the sun What's the use of one more dreamer What's the point of one more song? Is it all just a desperate foolish fear? Is it too much to hope that someone will hear? Beyond the melody Beyond these chords and words There's more at stake In a chorus and verse Oh the songs we sing Can they mean anything? So it's all been said and done before Nothing new under the sun What's the use of one more dreamer What's the point of one more song? I am drawing lines I am taking ground I am shining light I am speaking out I am planting seeds I am feeding souls I am healing wounds I am slinging stones Though it's all been said and done before Nothing new under the sun Still the world needs one more dreamer And we all need one more song Oh the songs we sing Oh the songs we sing Oh the songs we sing Oh the songs we sing Oh the songs we sing always mean something
