SING
Lea Michele/Cory Monteith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Boy, you've got to see what tomorrow brings
Sing it out,
Girl, you've got to be what tomorrow needs
For every time
That they want to count you out,
and use your voice,
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
Sing it out
Boy, they're gonna sell what tomorrow needs
Sing it out
boy, they're gonna kill what tomorrow brings
You've got to make a choice
If the music drowns you out
And raise your voice
Every single time they try and shut your mouth
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
Cleaned-up corporation progress
Dying in the process
Children that can talk about it
Living on the railways
People moving sideways
Sell it till your last days
Buy yourself a motivation,
Generation nothing
Nothing but a dead scene
Product of a white dream
I am not the singer that you wanted
but a dancer
I refuse to answer
Talk about the past sir and
wrote it for the ones who want to get away
Keep running
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
You've got to see what tomorrow brings
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world
boy, you've got to be what tomorrow needs
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world
The song "Sing" by Lea Michele and Cory Monteith is an anthem that encourages its listeners to use their voices and share their stories with the world. The lyrics begin by expressing the importance of looking forward and being present in the moment. It encourages both boys and girls to sing out and be the change that the world needs. The chorus then follows with the message that every time someone is silenced or dismissed, it is important for them to sing out and share their experiences with the world.
The second verse of the song touches upon the idea of corporations being the only ones who profit from societal change and progress, while the people who actually lived through it are left behind. The lyrics then move on to motivate people to continue to speak up and sing out no matter how hard the world tries to silence them. The song ends with a plea to its listeners to continue to sing and share their stories with the world, and to be the change that the future needs.

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I hold could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
Oh, the storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love
