When I Sing, When I Praise

I sing
words tumble out one by one
it's hardened stone
chipped off from a hardened heart
the notes, the lyrics
hollow, empty
I sing

I praise
it's carried high above on wingless clouds
the love language
sparkling from the restless fireworks of joy
enclosing, surrounding winds
life me to the blue
watching the sun topple over the horizon
I praise

When I sing, when I praise
it's always sing, seldom praise

When I sing, when I praise
it's seldom sing, never praise
