Sample
I wanted to record Without a Song because songs have always helped people find strength, hope, and faith in the hardest times. Throughout history there have been songs that carried people through struggle—songs like We Shall Overcome and Lift Every Voice and Sing. These songs pushed back against hopelessness and reminded people of their dignity, their courage, and their shared humanity.We know it will resonate deeply with you, too.
That’s what I felt the first time I heard Without a Song sung by Mahalia Jackson, and I’ve never forgotten it. Hearing it made me think about our ancestors and all those who endured hardship and oppression—and how often it was a song that helped them survive. When little else was certain, music carried strength, hope, and faith. And in many ways, that hasn’t changed.
This song has always resonated deeply with me. ~ Jenny Burton
Lyrics
Without A Song
Music by Vincent Youmans
Lyrics by William Rose & Edward Eliscu
Without a song
Without a song
Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never bend
When things go wrong,
I just ain’t got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn, would never see a plow That field of corn, would be deserted now A man is born, but he’s no good no how Without a song
I’ve got my trouble and woe,
But as long as as I know
The Jordan will roll
I’ll get along,
As long as a song
Is strong in my soul
I’ll never know, what makes the rain to fall
I’ll never know, what makes the grass so tall
I only know, there ain’t no love at all
Without a song
Without a song
Without a song
Without a song
Without a song
A song
A song
