Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you feel down and out
Sing a song, yeah-yeah (It'll make your day)
You need a time to shout out loud
Sing a song, yeah (It'll make a way)
Sometimes it's hard to care
Sing a song (It'll make your day)
A smile is so hard to bear
Sing a song, yeah, oh (It'll make a way)
[Chorus]
Sing a song (Sing a, sing a, sing a, sing a, sing a song)
Sing a song (Sing a, sing a, sing a, sing a, sing a song)
Sing a song (Sing a, sing a, sing a, sing a, sing a song)
Sing a song (Sing a, sing a, sing a, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Better bring your heart to believing
Sing a song, yeah (It'll make your day)
Life ain't about no retrieving, oh yeah
It'll make your way
Give yourself what you need
Sing a song, yeah-yeah (It'll make your day)
Smile, smile, smile and believe
Sing a song (It'll make a way)
[Chorus]
Sing a song (Sing a, sing a, sing a, sing a, sing a song)
Sing a song (Sing a, sing a, sing a, sing a, sing a song)
Sing a song (Sing a, sing a, sing a, sing a, sing a song)
Sing a song (Sing a, sing a, sing a, yeah)
[Bridge]
Hey, don't be ashamed to call your name
Yeah, don't be ashamed to call your name
Yeah, I love you, I love you
[Outro]
Sing a song (Sing a song)
Sing a song
Sing a song
Sing a song
If you sing a song today, you will make a better way
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
