Let Me Sing

I’m half-way back across, Atlanta
the record stores got the best of me again.
All the money, in my pockets, has now become a distant memory.
And I can hear it, it’s getting louder…
And it defines me, for this body.
Oh, if I could only be stronger now, who would stop me?
They all want to hear me!
Chorus:
Come on Daddy let me sing!
Let me sing,
Let me sing,
Let me sing,
Let me sing!
2nd verse:
Giggles swell, inside my belly
as I fight to hold it in.
Will I forever be stuck inside this small room,
with no wallpaper, just fake wood paneling?!
Because this place is meant for somebody, Daddy
but why can’t you see it just ain’t me?!
And I can hear it, it’s getting louder…
And it defines me, for this body.
Oh, if I could only be stronger now, who would stop me?
They all want to hear me!
Chorus:
Come on Daddy let me sing!
Let me sing,
Let me sing,
Let me sing,
Let me sing!
Bridge:
Ewe, ewe, let me be, I’m so lost inside my soul bound tree
of branches that could lead me to the sky.
Ah, ah, the air I breathe is so easy, for me to see,
That if I keep on breathing, they’ll be nothing left for me.
And I can hear it, it’s getting louder…
And it defines me, for this body.
Oh, if I could only be stronger now, who would stop me?
They all want to hear me!
Chorus:
Come on Daddy let me sing!
Let me sing,
Let me sing,
Let me sing,
Let me sing!
