Why We Sing

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
