Hear My Song

Child, I know you're weary
And your eyes want to close
The days are getting longer
We're not getting any stronger
Trust me,Mama knows

But lie in my arms while you're sleeping
And think of the rivers you've crossed
I'll tell you the dreams I've been keeping
For moments like this
When your hope is lost

Hear my song
It'll help you believe in tomorrow
Hear my song
It'll show you the way you can shine
Hear my song
It was made for the time When you don't know where to go
Listen to the song that I sing
You'll be fine Child,

I know you're frightened
And your throat's parched and dry
But just trust in Mama's singing
And the gift tomorrow's bringing
Trust it, don't ask why

Just lie in my arms And I'll tell you
The things that you know but forget
The lies no one ever could sell you
I know that it's hard
But don't give up get

Hear my song
It'll help you believe in tomorrow
Hear my song
It'll show you the way you can shine
Hear my song
It was made for the times When you don't know where to go
Listen to the song that I sing
You'll be fine

‘Cause I'll be singing —
Hold on
Hold tight
I know it's dark right now
But just believe somehow
That soon there will be light
Hold on
Hold fast
That's not enough for some
But trust the light will come
And we'll get past
You and Mama Safe at last

Hear my song
It'll help us get through til tomorrow
Hear my song
It'll help us survive all the pain
Hear my song
It's the one thing I have
That has never let you down
Listen to the song that I sing
Listen to the words in my heart
Listen to the hope I can bring
And you'll start to grow And shine
Listen to the song that I sing
And trust me
We'll be fine
Above is a clip from "Songs of a New World". The song, "Hear My Song" was A Capella's theme song this year and has really meant a lot to me.(Lyrics are also above) Our version was quite a bit different but the words to the song are what matter the most to me! It has a lot to do with this school year I have had (which is almost over-yay!)
We just finished "Spring Sing". It was absolutely amazing! I had a lot of fun with it! I grew to appreciate music more than I ever have before. I really think its all apart of being in A Capella choir, which has been a great experience. I truly look forward to being here again next year. I guess its probably good that I love music so much since I am going to be a music major(: Anyway-this song we sang, there's a couple lines that hit me real hard. "Hear My Song-It was made for the times when you don't know where to go....Hear My Song-It's the one thing I have that has never let me down." Its so true. Music is what keeps me going more than anything. Besides the Gospel of course(: But as far as school and the world around me, music is what I would call my happy place. If life just feels like heck sometimes-I can go to choir, put in my favorite cd, or even turn on the radio and there I have it-my music! The one thing I have that COULD NEVER let me down. Music to me is like having the church. When I don't know where else to go-I can turn to the scriptures, my Heavenly Father, and my music. Its the best feeling in the world! I can't be more thrilled to have the talent of singing. I am truly blessed to have that opportunity throughout my life to sing and feel the spirit of singing.
This is MY song. And I know that I'll be Fine.
The rest of Spring Sing was awesome! I had a wonderful time. We did some great broadway songs as well as some stuff from the past several months. I know my mom, Grandma Kay,and Nana enjoyed it alot! I'm glad I could make some great memories with my music! Have a great day!
