Anyone who knows me, knows that I am always singing something. But the types of songs are vast and varied and change as my moods change from day to day.

Songs of sorrow, songs of pain

Songs of joy and hope regained

Songs of struggles and victories won

Songs about the race I’ve run

Songs of unity, songs of strife

Songs of death and songs of life

Songs of anger, songs of love

Songs that let me rise above

Songs of triumph and defeat

Songs that have a catchy beat

Songs that give me a new start

Songs that mend a broken heart

Songs that may evoke deep sighs

Reveilles and lullabies

Songs for children and the old

Life’s great stories to unfold

Songs of worship, songs of praise

To God for all His awesome ways

Songs of darkness, songs of light

Which song shall I sing tonight?

    Sing me a song
    Of love
    Of peace
    Of harmony

    Sing me a song
    Of lust
    Of love
    But not acrimony
    Sing for me a lullaby
    My singing lady
    Ere I say good bye.

    Sing me of roses
    Smiles and laughter
    Of all that happens thereafter
    Sing to me the praises
    Of thy loving master
    If there is a God
    Sing about him too
    For my life and
    For my respects for you
    Sing me for me today
    His is the anointed hour
    Sing so everyone can hear
    From far and near
    The song of love of life
    Sing to me how to face strife.

    Just sing anything for me
    I am no stranger
    My Triond friend to thee
    Will you please now sing for me?
