Or So I'M Told

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzBWSHIyaUs

Sing it loud and clear 
and make it the laude voice I hear 
bring me home to the hearth of my youth 
where mom and dad always told the truth 
sing me in behind a curtain of pure fantasy 
song me through the chorus of a shasta daisy 
air me out to the beat of your sweet drum
sing it out loud and sing it clear...
Sing it in your native tongue 
help me climb Soprano, wrung by wrung 
bring it in and hold me in, sweet cantor of old 
nothing in our world of music is ever undersold 
song me ahead mistake me not for dead 
in this land of honey and gold , I got heart  
or so I'm told...
