"Anybody Can Sing" lyrics

I do wonder what a champion eats in the morning
How many times did she go hungry before she won in New Orleans?
I didn't start this race until after it had begun
I only started this race because I thought it would be fun
I'll take a pawful of honey with my breakfast
And I'm gonna tip my hat to the bees
I've been trying to prevent fires in the forest
All this dancing smoke was once our tree
I guess it's better to push through the pain than to give up completely
Anybody can sing, better make sure it means something

Well, everyday I wake up, and I'm right back at the beginning
I know a thing or two about yesterday, but today is a mystery
I'm running out of pages
Better make every word count
Crunching words together at the end of the lines
Everything I'm too scared to let leave my mouth
Don't wanna run out of patience
Running out of patience now I'm in my thirties
If you don't wanna remember your night, that's fine
But don't invite me—I'm not that thirsty
Don't wanna run out of patience

Anybody can sing, go ahead and make it mean something
Anybody can sing, go ahead and make it mean something

Don't get me wrong, it's great to read self-help books
But who are we when we put them down?
Don't get me wrong, it's great to read self-love books
But who are we when we put them down?
I've spoken out of turn, seen the night turn quickly
I don't wanna be silent, so I'm gonna turn a new leaf
You know I turned thirty that year
Sometimes we forget how good it feels to smile
I would feel much better if you left my head for a while

Anybody can sing, go ahead and make it mean something
Anybody can sing, go ahead and make it mean something
Anybody can sing, and I'm gonna make sure it means something

Keep singing your heart, it don't matter what they say
I don't wanna miss you, but I don't know any other way
