Why We Sing

Kirk Franklin

For some who don't understand our purpose
And may not understand our praise
We as the family in Jesus name
Would like to tell you the reason why we sing
Family

Someone asked a question
Why do we sing?
When we lift our hands to Jesus
What do we really mean?
Someone may be wondering
When we sing our song
At times we may be cryin'
And nothing's even wrong

(I sing because I'm happy)
I sing because I'm happy
(I sing) I sing because I'm free
(His eyes are) His eyes are the sparrow
(That's the reason) That's the reason why I sing
(I wanna know if you can help me say, "Glory")
Glory Hallelujah
(You're the reason) You're the reason why I sing
(Come on say, "Glory)
Glory Hallelujah (thank you Jesus)
You're the reason why I sing
(Can we say it again? Someone asked)

Someone asked a question (oh glory, why do we sing?)
Why do we sing? (When we life our hands)
When we lift our hands to Jesus (oh what do we really mean?)
What do we really mean? (Someone may be wondering)
Someone may be wondering (oh glory, when we sing our song)
When we sing our song (at times we may)
At times we may be cryin' (ah, and nothing's even wrong)
And nothing's even wrong
(This is the reason why, I sing because)

I sing because I'm happy
(I sing because) I sing because I'm free
(Oh, I don't know why he does it but His eyes are)
His eyes are the sparrow
(Oh, that's the reason why I sing) That's the reason why I sing
(Come on let's say it again, glory)
Glory Hallelujah (oh, You're the reason why)
You're the reason why I sing (oh Hallelujah)
(I know I can get a witness in here, glory)
Glory Hallelujah (You're the reason Jesus)
You're the reason why I sing
(Ah, I know I'm right about it I just wanna say, glory)
Glory Hallelujah (I give the praises to You)
I give the praises to You (oh Hallelujah, glory Hallelujah)
Glory Hallelujah (You're the reason why)
You're the reason why I sing

(Listen and when the song is over)
And when the song is over (we've all said Amen)
We've all said Amen (and your heart just keep on singing)
And your heart just keep on singing (and the song will never end)
And the song will never end (listen, and if somebody asked you)
And if somebody asked you (was it just a show?)
Was it just a show? (Life your hands and be a witness)
Lift your hands and a be a witness (and tell the whole world, "No")
And tell the whole the whole world, "No" (listen shh, and when we cross that river)
And when we cross that river (to study ware no more)
To study war no more (we will sing)
We will sing our song to Jesus (the one whom we adore)
The one whom we adore (come on family let's take it home)

(I sing because) I sing because I'm happy
(I sing because) I sing because I'm free
(I don't know why he does it but His eyes)
His eyes are the sparrow
(That's the reason why I sing, y'all) That's the reason why I sing
(If you let me say it one more time, can I say glory?)
Glory Hallelujah (oh, You're the reason why)

Glory Hallelujah (oh you're the reason Lord, you're the reason)
You're the reason why I sing
