Verse 1:
Our voices drifted softly through the night,
As strangers turned to friends in fading light.
Then came your voice across the ocean wide,
A grand, bright sound that rose with power and pride.
We laughed and sang, untroubled by the day,
We thought tomorrow wouldn't slip away.
Then time stood still upon one frozen night,
And we stayed close to hold you in the light.
Chorus:
So sing again, dear Deedee, soft and free,

I raise my voice because I know it's true:
Across the space, I know you hear me too.

We stay standing, resilient and bold.
I tell him: “Sing! Don't let your voice go numb,
Or sink beneath the pain that tries to come.”
And as I help him find his faith anew,
I learn to start again because of you.
Final Chorus:
So sing again, and I will join your track,
This time I'm singing with you, turning back.
