Experiences Matter

I was once told that experiences matter
You show me that it is true
You stand on stage and share your pain
Through song you help others

You show the pain and hurt you felt
From life experiences
Which ended in death
Your emotions make me think

The words you sing are powerful
Of love, hate and death
You don’t care what people think
You just sing from the heart

Thank you for sharing your pain
In song you have comforted many
When you sing, we see tears
But that helps us conquer fears
