Sing the ups
 Sing the downs
 And the silent people shaking the grounds
 Sing the faith
 Sing the [bad word]  Burning fire in the belly of youth
 Sing the progress
 And some missteps
 While we're making our way
 Somedays it's so hard to escape the dark cloud
 Hovering over our heads

 But I'm not gonna let them paint me blue
 I'm not gonna let them bend my view
 Not this time, not any time,
 I'm gonna sing me life
 That's what I'm gonna do

 Sing the bright day
 From a long night
 And a tunnel giving way to the light
 Sing the good deeds
 And the fowl plays
 And crosses carried we all pay
 Face the problem in our system
 We can fight this disease
 (I know) Somedays it's so hard to escape the dark cloud
 Hovering over our heads

 But I'm not gonna let them bend my view
 I'm not gonna let them paint me blue
 not this time, not any time,
 I'm gonna sing me life
 That's what I'm gonna do

 But I'm not gonna let them bend my view
 I'm not gonna let them paint me blue
 Not this time, not any time,
 I'm gonna sing me life
 That's what I'm gonna do
 (And you should too)

 Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
