Susan Cagle - You Were Meant to Sing lyrics
[Susan Cagle - You Were Meant to Sing lyrics]
Sittin' on a sidewalk, chasin' dreams
Always one step behind you wanna know why
Kids are kicking cans on the street
And you wonder why you missed out
On the good life
Always talkin' 'bout your misery
But misery seeks company why you wanna go
And let your head hang low?
Baby, you were meant to sing
I'll push you on a swing
Even though your heart is achin'
Even though the ground is shakin'
Live today on angel wings
No matter what tomorrow brings
Smile like a happy child
Try to make it worth your while
'Cause it won't get better if ya hold it in
Baby, you were meant to sing sing oh, yeah
Tummy used to rumble
Pebbles used to make me stumble, but now
I'm takin' everything in stride, whoa
Buildings 'round me crumble
Institutions tumble
And I've never felt so alive
It's all a matter of perspective
It's like you're swimmin' in a fish tank
When you're outside lookin' in
And life's played pranks on you
Baby, you were meant to sing
I'll push you on a swing
Even though your heart is achin'
Even though the ground is shakin'
Live today on angel wings
No matter what tomorrow brings
Smile like a happy child
Try to make it worth your while
'Cause it won't get better if ya hold it in
Baby, you were meant to sing
People wanna tell you that's the
Way that it is
That you're blessed or you're lucky
Yeah, you're kinda hopeless
Gettin' you confused when you listen to this
Thinkin' that ya gotta fit in to exist
But, it's really up to you
What you make outta this
Every day is another day of
Bliss that you miss
When you're stressin' 'cause you don't know
How to pay your taxes uh oh
All I know is this
Baby, you were meant to sing oh oh-whoa oh
Oh oh oh oh uh, uh
Even when it hit's the fan
And nobody wants to hold your hand
'Cause you know exactly just
Where it's gonna land
Even when the sky is fallin'
And you just can't stop bawlin'
And it's obvious that you're failin'
Every other thing 'cause
Baby, you were meant to sing
I'll push you on a swing
Even though your heart is achin'
Even though the ground is shakin'
Live today on angel wings
No matter what tomorrow brings
Smile like a happy child
Try to make it worth your while
'Cause it won't get better if you hold it in
Baby, you were meant to sing sing sing
Always one step behind you wanna know why
Kids are kicking cans on the street
And you wonder why you missed out
On the good life
Always talkin' 'bout your misery
But misery seeks company why you wanna go
And let your head hang low?
Baby, you were meant to sing
I'll push you on a swing
Even though your heart is achin'
Even though the ground is shakin'
Live today on angel wings
No matter what tomorrow brings
Smile like a happy child
