Singing lessons-the song


God of the rivers and the waterfalls

God of thunder and lightening

God of plains and the mountains

Of rainbows and prairies

God of birth and death

Of love and hope

God of sun and moon

God of ocean tides

You who drive the stars

You of perfect light

Teach me how to sing

And it came to pass on a cloudy night

That I found myself lost in the dark

And the wind blew cold and I was afraid

And if love were lost how would I live

You were like some mist in the fading light

And my broken dreams wept in the night

Where was all the love we had known before

In this sea of tears would I reach the shore

God of sun and moon

God of oceans tides

You who drive the stars

You of perfect light

Teach me how to sing

I was on my knees, I was at the end

There was nothing left, I would never mend

When I heard a song in the waves that tossed

Death is not the end, there is nothing lost

God of sun and moon

God of ocean tides

You who drive the stars

You of perfect light

Teach me how to sing

Music of the spheres through eternity

Saying that through your tears you will always see

Saying the more you lose that the more you own

And the more you love the more you own

Saying the pain you feel opens up your heart

Where the swallows flew there was once a cloud

Now the sun was bright and the river smiled

And I heard you say death is just a dream

Make your songs again you must always sing

God of sun and moon

God of ocean tides

You who drive the sun

You of perfect light

Teach me how to sing

God of everything

Teach me how to sing

God of everything

Teach me how to sing

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Considerata una delle figure più influenti della musica folk americana, ha conquistato fama internazionale per la sua voce soprano potente e versatile, capace di spaziare dal canto melodico al rock progressivo. La sua carriera, iniziata negli anni '60, è caratterizzata da un'ampia discografia che comprende oltre 30 album in studio.

Oltre alla musica, Collins è nota per il suo impegno sociale e politico, sostenendo cause legate alla pace, ai diritti civili e all'ambiente. Ha collaborato con artisti come Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell e Stephen Stills, contribuendo a definire l'evoluzione della musica folk americana.
