LYRICS:
You seem rather shy. I know and I understand.
Let me tell you why I know what you fear.
No, it's not a flaw when you fail to conversate.
You get so upset and run from your peers.

Ev'ry time you try to say the words flowing through your mind.
Terrified, your hands are trembling, your lips are frozen tight.

I was always shy. I see lots of me in you,
I could never say the thoughts in my heart.
It was not my fault. I needed to find a way
But I had no clue or knew where to start.

Then one day a mystic melody whispered in my ear,
"I'm a magic song that will give you strength, release all your fears."

Because when you sing
The music of song is lifting you up.
You're rising and oh so free!
Sing away all your fears
And feel a great force in melody.

When you're singing out loud,
You're up in the clouds,
Away from the crowds.

Because when you sing
The music of song is lifting you up.
You're rising and oh so free!
And when you sing with a friend
You double your pow'r in harmony.

First, you're climbing and
Then you're rising and
Soon you're soaring so
Keep on roaring and...

Sing out loud and feel how the magic works.
Never feel alone when you sing a song.
Sing out strong! The courage will come along.
Never be afraid when you sing a magic song.
