lyrics

Sing if you would sing
if you would sing what would it be
If you would sing one song what song would it be

Oh preacher your teachings are so rich
That is the reason they have left your church
You don't listen to the voice that speaks through you
As you sit there on the alter of light
For it is the voice of love passing you by
Getting wasted on the blindness where it falls
Every day from the dawn until the dawn
It continues to sing its sweet song unheard

If you would sing, if you would sing
if you would sing what would it be
If you would sing one song what song would it be

For this reason we gathered on logs
In the mountains high above the city
We passed the bottle settle in to our songs
Hoping they would blend with the other somehow
Down below we saw them singing false songs of love
We saw the fractious towers that they build too
We laughed though we knew - secretly - we were them
We were lost far away from the hymn

Sing if you would sing if you would sing
if you would sing what would it be
If you would sing one song what song would it be
