about

(J. Arrowsmith)

For everybody who has ever been told to mime at the back of the choir, or finds singing in front of others mind-blankingly terrifying.

lyrics

Once there was a man and he had no song
He felt his head was empty and his voice was wrong
And though he often tried, his songs were trapped inside
He couldn't find the place where they belong

But raise your voice with mine
For now's the perfect time to join the song

Once there was a woman and her songs were loud
She sang them in the shower and she sang them proud
But when her friends were near, her voice it shrank with fear
And left her shaking mute before the crowd

But raise...

Now if you want to sing but don't know how or why
Don't listen to the ones who say you should not try
There's bound to be a way you've not tried before today
To free your voice to soar beneath the sky

So raise...

Once there was a singer and he made his choice
To leave his doubts behind him and to find his voice
The journey that he's on is to learn just one more song
And sing it out and make his friends rejoice
So raise...
