Ron Sexsmith - This SongLyrics

I brought a song into this world Just a melody with words It trembles here before my eyes How can this song survive I brought it to the tower of gold In my coat of many holes I came unarmed, they've got knives How can this song survive Oh now, I can't help wondering how it is How someone like you exists When all around you bullets fly You don't seem to notice them go by How can this song survive Oh now, I see the game I'm up against No wonder I feel so afraid For every song you ever heard How many more have died at birth Oh how, how can this song survive I brought a song into this world Just a melody with words It trembles here before my eyes How can this song survive I came unarmed They've all got knives How can this song survive Until we finally say goodbye How, how can this song survive I wonder how, I wonder why
