A song of reflection and hope, written by Odella.
LYRICS:
On a trip to Nashville - many years ago in June
On every street and corner - a singer sang a tune
Entertained the thought - of Grand Ole Opry fame
But what I heard while walking past just put my voice to shame

Took the stage - Eyebrows raised - Whenever I'd perform
You would smile approval - my music could transform
You kept my hope alive - that I would one day sing
To people far and wide and all the joy it'd bring

CHORUS - I only sing for you - I only sing for you
As I wander through my world so dark - you light up like a spark
I only sing for you - I only sing for you
You're the beat within my heart
I only sing for you

Then one day I got a call - an agent finally found
Listened to a demo made and somehow got around
Said my voice was just - what he was searching for
Hate to think that only luck - opened up that door

CHORUS

BRIDGE - As I traveled round the world - I started losing touch
Heard the battle you were facing - and the pain was just too much
As you lost your life, I carried on - your prayers for me came true
Through tear-filled eyes, I sang my songs - my final gift to you

CHORUS - You're the beat within my heart - I only sing for you.
