MY SONG UNSUNG
Copyright 2018 by Judy Unger
I’ve played my songs on countless shores
in quiet shade of sycamores
All my pain was overcome
by heart-torn lyric and a strum
When I was young
I wrote this song unsung
–
Experience, it felt so cold
but music was my friend
I lived wearing a blindfold
Yet with lyrics I didn’t pretend
–
Through the years, when life was hard
my heart became numb and scarred
All my joy had gone away
and with sadness I couldn’t play
I was still young
I left my song unsung
–
Loneliness had left a hole
for years I made no sound
‘til music came to soothe my soul
and to turn my life around
–
Dreams were fuel that kept me strong
My heart was healed because of song
I learned that I could sing and then
I discovered joy again
–
I found that I had faith inside
my songs returned; they had not died
And though I was no longer young
Look what my music had brung
I sang my song unsung
I sang my song unsung
