Staring at a photograph of where we used to be 
When the sky was bright and crystal clear and life was just a breeze 
Oh well, now something's taking you over 
You're burning all your bridges and you're left without a clue 
And you wonder why these memories keep staring back at you 
Oh well, now don't look over your shoulder 

Sing for life, sing for joy 
Sing for every man and woman, girl or boy 
Sing a song, a simple melody 
Sing out loud or just hum 
Sing for moments in the past and times to come 
Sing for history and destiny 
Won't you sing for me? 

Standing at the station and you don't know where to go 
You're trying hard to hold on to the world you used to know 
Oh well, don't let it get to you baby 

Sing for life, sing for joy 
Sing for every man and woman, girl or boy 
Sing a song, a simple melody 
Sing out loud or just hum 
Sing for moments in the past and times to come 
Sing for history and destiny 
Won't you sing for me? 

Don't look back, just keep moving on 
Get your feet and walk into a different zone 
Don't care what they say, just let the music play 
Hey 

Won't you sing for me? 
(Sing for me) 
Sing for me 

Sing for life, sing for joy 
Sing for every man and woman, girl or boy 
Sing a song, a simple melody 
Sing out loud or just hum 
Sing for moments in the past and times to come 
Sing for history and destiny 
Won't you sing for me? 
(Sing for life) 
(Sing for joy) 
(Sing for every man and woman, girl or boy) 
Sing for me
