[Verse 1]
On the verge of cryin'
I don't feel like tryin'
But instead, I'll sing, yeah
But instead, I'll sing

When I'm done with worries
And no one's around me
Don't you know I'll sing, yeah
Oh, I love to sing

When I can't find the words
And everything starts to hurt
I'm done with this heavy heart
I let all my burdens off
And I sing

[Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Sing
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
(I love to sing, uh)
Sing
Oh oh oh oh oh
(Sing out, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
Oh oh oh oh
Sing
Oh oh oh oh oh
(Yeah, yeah)
Oh oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
When I'm cold and tired
And so uninspired
Don't you know I'll sing, yeah
Let it out and sing

When I'm down and I feel like giving up
And even the easy things feel rough
Don't you know, I'll sing, yeah
Don't you know, I'll sing

When I feel down and out
Or under a heavy cloud
When I don't wanna talk
I let my burdens off
And I sing, oh

[Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Sing
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
(I love to sing, uh)
Sing
Oh oh oh oh oh
(Sing out, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
Oh oh oh oh
Sing
Oh oh oh oh oh
(Yeah, yeah)
Oh oh oh oh
