Alton Mitchell - Why I Sing

When I woke up today,
I didn't have the urge to cry
Remembering the harder days,
When I couldn't find a reason why
I love all the finer things,
But affordable things suffice
I don't need the drama, the money is fleeting
I just need the one love that kee-keeps me breathing
When I went out today y'all,
I even stopped to wave hi
I must have caught'em off guard,
They looked around, I think they waved bye
There's comedy in most things,
But sometimes I can tend to cross the line
I don't mean laugh now but my life is fleeting,
I must have got that one love that kee-keeps me breathing
And that's why I sing
I sing, I sing, I sing
And that's why I sing,
I sing, I sing, I sing…
Because I woke up today and didn't cry
Had the laugh of my life, cuz I waved hi
And that's why I sing
I sing, I sing, I sing
I got a roof top
Over my head
I was on the couch,
Now I'm in a bed
Got a dresser drawer,
And a bunch of drawers
Got a family,
I know I can call
Got my own car,
I was riding uber
Got a great team,
They can get it to ya
Got a big belly,
I ain't starving
Thought I knew it all,
Now I'm learning
And oh, When I go to bed tonight y'all
No matter what happened, I see I can embrace it all
And oh, if you hear me singing all day,
Why don't you join in if you've got some breath to sing
And that's why I sing
I sing, I sing, I sing
And that's why I sing,
I sing, I sing, I sing…
Because I woke up today and didn't cry
Had the laugh of my life, cuz I waved hi
And that's why I sing
I sing, I sing, I sing
