Carpenters Cantata (2007)
I need to sing (Carpenters Cantata)

I’m just the little drummer girl
hiding in the back.
Too scared to sing out front,
too frightened to go out in the spotlight.
Staying on the safe side,
that’s where I belong.
Staying on the safe side,
but not for long.

I love the hum, drum, hum, drum, doolittle drum
I love the strumming and the thumbing of the drums
I love the beats and ticks and humming of the drums
I love the hum, drum, doolittle drum
Hum, drum, doolittle drum

Nobody told me I could sing
It’s just, I have this sense of rhythm
I never knew my voice could fly
Nobody told me.
I wonder why.

But something’s happened,
something’s changed
I’m no more scared and shy
There is no need to hide.
I found this voice inside
and I’m all right.

No more staying on the safe side
No more hiding in the back
I’m gonna show them what I’ve got,
and that’s a lot!

Here I am,
I hope you like it,
‘cause more than anything in life
I need to sing.
I close my eyes
And sing out loud,
‘cause more than anything in life
I need to sing.
 I’ll still be here (Carpenters Cantata)

As time goes by, and singers come and go,
I’ll still be here, my voice will still be heard.

I never would have guessed, that somehow I was blessed,
with a golden gift, surpassing time and space.

I didn’t mean to go. I would have liked to stay.
I know that people’ll say, I told you so.

(gesproken) Karen Carpenter. She had no talent for living.
But we thank her for giving us her wonderful voice,
A memory that will never fade away.
I never would have guessed, that somehow I was blessed,
with a golden gift, surpassing time and space.

Now, let me burry myself in lightness,
sharing the ultimate brightness.
With the moon and the stars, you will find me there.
My voice, like a ghost, going everywhere,
singing in the air, I will still be there.
