When you ask me to sing it feels like my heart would burst with pride
And I look at your face and the tears come to my eyes
All that's harsh and wrong in my life melts into one sweet song
And my love spreads wings like a glad bird flying over the road
I know you take pleasure in my singing
I know that only when I sing do you hear me
Cuz then I touch things I can't touch, I touch parts of you I can't really touch
And drunk with the joy of singing I forget myself and call you my friend
I'm here to sing you songs
In your room I have a corner seat
In your world I have no work to do
My life can only break out in songs that have no purpose
