Why We Sing Lyrics

For all who gather 'round to listen to this song's call

For all the tired tongues standing still before some wall

For all our heavy burdens and those who carry their own

For all the men on wire dreaming with the birds back home

We've got no choice but to raise up our voice

It's why we sing

For all the rooms of heartbreak where we left our mark

For all the faded friendships and the treason in the dark

For all the stages conquered and those we failed to set alight

For all the chances we got and the times we had to fight

We've got no choice but to raise up our voice

It's why we sing

For all the deniers that the dawn's about to come

For all hungry choirs singing their song all night long

For all of our waiting on future heroes to arrive

For all our lonesome thinking on a midnight highway drive

For all love's illusions turning into a different shade

For all our rock 'n roll that slowly starts to fade

For all the deniers that the dawn's about to come

For all hungry choirs singing their song all night long

It's why we sing

It's why we sing

Shalalalala

You've got no choice but to raise up your voice
