quotations about singing
It doesn't matter if your days are long (Sing!)
It doesn't matter if your night's gone wrong (Sing!)
Just clap your hands and stomp your feet and sing it (Whoa, sing!)
It doesn't matter if he let you go (Sing!)
It doesn't matter if she hurt you so (Sing!)
Get up and dance, just feel that beat and sing it (Whoa, sing!)

Out on the tiles
God awful teeth but
Beautiful smiles
Face in the window
Back of your house
Hey ho my hearties
Who's singing now?

FRANCOIS JOSEPH FÉTIS
attributed, Day's Collacon
Sing it for the boys
Sing it for the girls
Every time that you lose it sing it for the world
Sing it from the heart
Sing it till you're nuts
Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts
Sing it for the deaf
Sing it for the blind
Sing about everyone that you left behind
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
"Sing", Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys
I found some shade beneath a willow tree
I fell asleep and started dreaming
That everything created here on earth all had voices singing
Every rock and every blade of grass even the ivy that was clinging
Every leaf and every drop of rain all had voices singing.
It brought the angels down in my dream so clear
Then the Lord sat down so that he could hear
The sea and waves were rushing to the shore
With the joy that they were bringing
A sound so perfect that it made me cry to hear their voices singing.

Should certain persons die before they sing.
