I sing and it’s not beautiful. I sing because of solace I sing because of space Because of how it’s sacred Alters these senses with her grace Because of the peace she gives me Because she lends faith and hope and love I sing Because it heals me I sing to my God above
I sing, And it’s not, yet, beautiful It's raw and unrefined. I sing knowing it's not beautiful Sowing seeds, knowing someday It will be,
Beautiful! Someday this soul will heal Someday this voice will tell her loveliness Someday she shall sound, withheld not by sullen fears
Creative expression! Joy, voicing her presence! I believe someday her love will show She shall soon shine out I sing knowing it's still not beautiful But someday she will be!
