A song about losing the fear to sing before others.

Those fears have left me silent

A voice without a sound

Yet dreams, they persevere

They strive to gain some ground

Music plays within my head

Songs always beginning

Fear, no one wants to hear

The words I could be singing

 

But, hear me now

I’m standing here

Me, alone

Conquering fears

Regardless of

The outcome, I’ll try

To sing for you

To sing for you

 

The four walls of my youth

Are crumbling at my feet

Within me I feel music

A never ending beat

Here I am to share it

Please listen if you choose

As I am happy singing

Whether win or lose

 

So, hear me now

I, standing here

Me, alone

Conquering fears

Regardless of

The outcome, I’ll try

To sing for you

To sing this song for you

 

The melody is easy

Feel and sing along

The harmony is blissful

Share with me this song

The words they’re not important

‘Cept for hope that lies within

So listen now to me

As to all of you I sing

 

Hear me now

I’m standing here

Yes me, alone

I’ve no more fears

I’ve conquered them all

I simply enjoy

To sing for you

I’ll sing to you

 

To sing for you

To sing to you

With my own

Voice

    That was a great piece. Very profound and for me it took me to places beyond just singing a beautiful song. I loved the conquering of fears which inhibit us all. I have read many of your works Michael, and love them all, but this one stands out from the rest IMHO..
