From the recording MAYBE I'LL SING - Maggie Wheeler
I wrote this song May of 2020, 3 months into shut down and weeks before George Floyd's murder. I wanted & needed a song to help myself and to help others metabolize and release all of the emotions from sadness to anger to grief and hurt that were weighing heavily on our bodies. When I sing this song and invite others to sing with me I can feel some of that heaviness moving through. I hope you will all sing it out loud !
Lyrics
MAYBE I’LL SING
Words & Music Maggie Wheeler -©Maggie Wheeler 2020
Maybe I’m sad
Maybe I’m mad
Maybe that’s why my body feels bad
Maybe I’m sad
Maybe I’m hurt
Maybe my brain’s on high alert
Maybe I’ll sing
Maybe I’ll shout
Maybe I’ll let my feelings out
Maybe I’ll stand in the rain
Maybe I’ll let go of my pain
Maybe I’ll trust
Maybe I’ll pray
Maybe that’s how I’ll find the way
Maybe I’ll sing
Maybe I’ll sing
Maybe I’ll sing
Maybe I feel dark despair
Maybe that’s why I can’t get air
Maybe I’m laden down with grief
Maybe that’s why I need relief
Maybe I’ll cry
Maybe I’ll sing
Maybe I’ll let my true voice ring
Maybe I’ll sing
Maybe I’ll see
Maybe I’ll let myself be free
Maybe I’ll dance
Maybe I’ll run
Maybe I’ll stand out in the sun
Maybe I’ll sing
Maybe I’ll sing
Maybe I’ll sing
Maybe I’m sad
Maybe I’m mad
Maybe that’s why my body feels bad
Maybe my heart needs to grieve
Maybe that’s why it’s hard to breath
Maybe I’ll sing
Maybe I’ll shout
Maybe I’ll let my feelings out
Maybe I’ll sing
Maybe I’ll see
Maybe I’ll let myself be free
Maybe I’ll trust
Maybe I’ll pray
Maybe that’s how I’ll find the way
Maybe I’ll sing
Maybe I’ll sing
Maybe I’ll sing 3x
