Life is a Song - Lyrics

Verse 1
In every soul there lives a story,
The song gets louder as we grow;
You may discover sounds of glory,
And maybe there’s a heart to show.

Bridge 1
And when you play your guitar,
You’re shining bright like a star,
You make some magic with your piano;
So take an old clarinet,
We’ll make a star of you yet,
So count us in and then let the light flow.

Chorus 1
‘Cause there is a song in you,
C’mon and we’ll play this through,
Together we’ll find the truth,
That Life is a Song.

Verse 2
If you’ve been searching for the meaning,
Or a language we all understand;
Living in harmony is easy,
If you’ve a melody at hand.

Bridge 2
And when you play saxophone,
Or trumpet, cello, trombone,
You may discover the sound of heaven;
So raise your voice to the sky
And let your melody fly,
Then count us in and we’ll sing forever.

Chorus 1
‘Cause there is a song in you,
C’mon and we’ll play this through,
Together we’ll find the truth,
That Life is a Song.

Chorus 2
Whatever you want to do,
C’mon and we’ll play this through,
Together we’ll find the truth,
That Life is a Song.

Bridge 2
