The Blind Boys of Alabama - Singing Brings Us Closer

I remember when
My mother used to sing
Oh the joy that her voice could bring
When I'm lost and I'm afraid
And I long to see her face
Singing brings her closer to me
When our brother traveled on
We had to carry on
Even though the path was dark to see
But I know he's here tonight
Cause I surely feel his light
Singing brings him closer to me
We gather here
To bring our old friends near
Oh it brings us closer
Yes it brings us closer
Singing brings us closer to Thee
I look back on the days
The times seemed oh so strange
Struggle, injustice and despair
But we marched right through that harm
Joining voices, joining arms
Singing brought us closer to free
When we lift our voice
And our souls rejoice
Oh it brings us closer
Yes it brings us closer
Singing brings us closer to Thee
