Who sang the first song?
Who hummed the first tune?
Was it the wind blowing past the moon?
Were the stars making noise as they sparkled at night?
Did the sun sing a song as it colored the sky?
Sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing
Did the waves make a song as they crashed to the shore?
Or was it the whales?
Or the lions' first ROAR?
Did the first flowers hum as they burst into bloom?
Or was the first song when the thunder went BOOM?
Sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing
Maybe elephants running loud over the ground
Or maybe the birds made the first singing sound
All these guesses we've made are quite good but they're wrong
It was God our Maker who sang the first song
When God made the earth,
He decided to sing
And He wrote His song into everything
God's song says you're good, you are wonderfully made
And I'll never stop loving you all of your days
So sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing
So now we all know who sang the first song
God who made us knew all along
That every heart and every thing
Was born with a song it was made to sing
Sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing
