So I Sang

I never was the biggest or the fastest guy
Never hit a homerun when the game was tied
I knew from an early age I wasn't going to be
A doctor or the CEO of anything
So I sang: She believes in me
And I played: Fire on the mountain
Till I made my fingers bleed
I tried to stand out from the crowd
But most times I just struck out at the plate

So I sang

I wasn't cool enough to be a ladie's man
It took me forever just to hold her hand
First time we kissed, she whispered: I love you
But I wasn't brave enough to say: I loved her too
So I sang: You are so beautiful to me
And I played every note to Faithfully
I loved her with everything
But I couldn't think of anything to say

So I sang

No one believed in me as much as Mama
See, she worked overtime to buy my first guitar
When the angels called her home
My sister asked if I would speak
But there were no words to say how much she meant to me
So I sang: It is well with my soul
And I played: I'm so tired of being alone
'Cause those were Mama's favorite songs
And what I felt would take too long to say

So I sang
Yes, I sang
So I sang
