Drunks
Harmony for the Heart: A Song of Strength and Love
Lyrics
I wanna write a song the drunks all sing
I desire to create a song that resonates with those who are intoxicated.
And the sober sing along
The sober individuals should also find the song relatable and sing along.
One that's for the man in the ring
This song is dedicated to the person in the metaphorical ring, offering strength.
To suddenly feel strong
An encouragement for someone to feel suddenly strong.
I wanna hear what the Angels played
Expressing a desire to know the music the Angels played during a significant moment.
When they walked my daddy home
Reference to the narrator's father's journey home, wanting to hear the angels' music.
I wanna write a song the drunks all sing
Reiteration of the desire to create a song for those who are drunk.
And I hope you sing along
Hoping that listeners, regardless of their state, will join in singing the song.
Oh, oh, oh
An invitation to raise a glass and sing along, fostering a sense of unity and celebration.
Raise a glass and sing along
-I wanna learn what David played
Expressing a wish to understand the music played by David when he felt lonely.
When he found himself alone
A call to let the music resonate on streets and stages for the loneliest to feel known.
Let it ring, let it ring
An encouragement to let the music ring out everywhere.
On every street and stage
Asking for the music to be a source of guidance when lost.
Till the loneliest feel known
Expressing a desire to sing the same comforting melody that the narrator's mother hums.
A melody my mama hums
The desire to share a song that brings people together, echoing David's sentiment.
When I've forgotten my way home
-I wanna sing what David sang
Invitation for others to join in singing the shared song.
Oh won't you sing along
-Oh, oh, oh
A repetition of the invitation to raise a glass and sing along, emphasizing unity.
Raise a glass and sing along
-And If the walls of Jericho
If the metaphorical walls of Jericho could fall to music, believing their walls could too.
Could crash on down to just a tune
Expressing a belief that even if only two people (the narrator and the listener) sing, it can make a difference.
I bet our walls could fall also
-Even if only me and you sing
-Oh, oh, oh
Repetition of the invitation to raise a glass and sing along, emphasizing celebration.
Raise a glass and sing along
-What are we giving to our sons and daughters?

Reiteration of the question, highlighting the connection between giving, love, and learning.
What do we give if we ain't loving?

Reiteration of the desire to create a song for both drunk and sober individuals.

This is our song
-What are we giving to our sons and daughters?
