Be the Song Lyrics

As I sat in prayer one day

Asking questions of my God

Why is this world torn apart?

Why is hatred filling empty hearts?

A message came which seemed to say

Something diff'rent, something odd

It wasn't deep or very long

It just said, Be the Song

I wasn't sure I'd heard it right

It didn't sound quite whole

There's so much turmoil everywhere

So many people in despair

I wanted darkness turned to light

With an answer for my soul

I asked for more, it's not a lot

And this is what I got

Be the song that I sing

Be the joy a simple smile can bring

Be the hope, be the love

Be the miracle from up above

Be the hand in the hand

That lets all souls know they belong

Be my voice loud and strong

Be the song

Now, I'm not one to sermonize

But it's becoming clear

I think that I have found a way

To turn the nighttime into day

Let's all together realize

It's not that hard to hear

With all the different melodies

We'll have such harmony

Be the song that I sing

Be the joy a simple smile can bring

Be the hope, be the love

Be the miracle from up above

Be the hand in the hand

That lets all souls know they belong

Be my voice loud and strong

Be the song

Be a father, be a mother

Be a sister, be a brother

Be a friend, be a lover

Be a shoulder, be a cover

Be a teacher, be a helper

Be a harbor, be a shelter

Be the song that I sing

Be the joy a simple smile can bring

Be the hope, be the love

Be the miracle from up above

Be the hand in the hand

That lets all souls know they belong

Be my voice loud and strong

Be the song

Be my voice loud and strong

Be the song

Be the song

Be the song

Be the song

Be the song
