about

Written by Bart de Win. Song with a classic American Songbook feel about the insecurity of an art student.

lyrics

Sing a song

I finally made it, I passed every test
This is what I dreamed of all this time
This place full of beauty, happiness and joy
I feel like putting all my thoughts into rhyme

I hate assignments but still I’m here
I don’t like every song I’m singing but it’s ringing in my ear
This is the place where I belong

I’m scared of people, especially you
But I think it will get better in a year or two
But I simply have to sing a song

And when I get a sheet
That I have to read
Some stupid thing that I’ve got to sing
I look as close as I can
But no bell starts to ring
Cause I can’t get what’s happening

I know a million brilliant songs are lying on the shelf
But still some crazy guy is yelling I should write a tune myself
Well I don’t care as long as I can sing a song

I hate assignments but still I’m here
I don’t like every song I’m singing but it’s ringing in my ear
This is the place where I belong
I simply have to sing a song
