It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world


I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world


"Your Song," by Elton John / Bernie Taupin

Wonderful Savior
My heart belongs to Thee
I will remember always
The blood You shed for me.


Wonderful Savior
My heart will know Your worth
So let me embrace You always
As I walk this Earth.


Be blessed, be loved, be lifted high
Be treasured here, be glorified.
I owe my life to You my Lord
Here I am.


Beautiful Jesus
How may I bless Your heart?
Knees to the Earth, I bow down
To everything You are.


Beautiful Jesus
You are my only worth.
So I will embrace You always
As I walk this Earth.


Be blessed, be loved, be lifted high
Be treasured here, be glorified.
I owe my life to You my Lord
Here I am.


Beautiful Jesus
How may I bless Your heart?
Knees to the Earth, I bow down
To everything You are.


Beautiful Jesus
You are my only worth.
So I will embrace You always
As I walk this Earth.


Be blessed, be loved, be lifted high
Be treasured here, be glorified.
I owe my life to You my Lord
Here I am, here I am.

Be blessed, be loved, be lifted high
Be treasured here, be glorified.
I owe my life to You my Lord
Here I am, here I am.


Here I am, here I am, knees to the Earth.
Here I am, here I am, here I am.

Sticks and stones
Battle zones
A single light bulb
On a single thread for the black
Sirens wail
History fails
Rose-colored glass
Begins to age and crack
While the politicians shadowbox
The power ring
In an endless split decision
Never solve anything
From a neighbor’s distant land
I heard the strain of the common man


Let it be me
(this is not a fighting song)
Let it be me
(not a wrong for a wrong)
Let it be me
If the world is night
Shine my life like a light


Well the world seems spent
And the president
Has no good idea
Of who the masses are
Well I’m one of them
And I’m among friends
We’re trying to see beyond
The fences in our own backyards
I’ve seen the kingdoms blow
Like ashes in the winds of change
But the power of truth
Is the fuel for the flame
So the darker the ages get
There’s a stronger beacon yet


Let it be me
(this is not a fighting song)
Let it be me
(not a wrong for a wrong)
Let it be me
If the world is night
Shine my life like a light


In the kind word you speak
In the turn of the cheek
When your vision stays clear
In the face of your fear
Then you see turning out a light switch
Is their only power
When we stand like spotlights
In a mighty tower
All for one and one for all
Then we sing the common call


Let it be me
(this is not a fighting song)
Let it be me
(not a wrong for a wrong)
Let it be me
If the world is night
Shine my life like a light


"Let It Be Me," by Indigo Girls
