Jimmy Lee Hook & The Long Island Sound

Lyrics

Verse:
I’ve been thinking about tomorrow, but finally living for today.
I found perspective in my sorrow, and the sins of yesterday.

Chorus:
I’ve conquered demons of a haunted soul,
That would’ve crushed a king.
That only happens when I sing.

Verse:
I’ve lived the dream of every pauper,
But I’ve paid the price along the way.
When lady luck frowned, fate would stop her.
And she still smiles on me today.

Chorus:
I’ve tamed the dragon of a painful past. And now I ride its wing.
That only happens when I sing.
That only happens when I sing

Bridge:
Now every moment is a blessing, And a chance for me to try
To live in peace with my redemption, Until, it’s time to say goodbye.
Goodbye.

Verse:
In my history there are lessons,
That I’ve finally learned to heed.
And though my back’s been slashed and wounded,
I no longer bleed.

Chorus:
Still have the passion of a heart on fire,
But without the sting.
That only happens, that only happens, that only happens,
When I sing.
