Sing Out, Let It Be Heard
by Ronald Haselden
June 2011

Why do you just sit there with an anchor 'round your soul
With your eyes on "perfect" ones who seem to have control
But they are screened and filtered and made that way for show
The truth is you are just as good but you don't seem to know

So sing out, let it be heard
Let them hear you
Let them near you
Sing out, let it be heard

Maybe as a child you learned to hide your light from view
And maybe if you dared to shine the slings and arrows flew
But now the time has come to follow where that light will lead
Step out of the wings onto the stage where you should be

So sing out, let it be heard
Let them hear you
Let them near you
Sing out, let it be heard

Your songs are your children
Through your voice they move
And courage is like lightening
When it strikes it will ring true

So sing out, let it be heard
Let them hear you
Let them near you
Sing out, let it be heard

Beautiful message here. I love the sound of the open tuning. I've always had a special place in my heart for the archtop.

aloha from Hawaii,

Thomas

@kiaweking Thanks a lot Thomas, and I love the archtop too. This is the first one I've ever owned and I will never let it go. Thanks, -Ron

@Cameragirl803 Hey Jane, I like the idea of us collaborating on our originals sometime, that would be a lot of fun. You are a great writer too you know. Talk again soon Jane, and Elvis has been seen in the tater patch but he will be back soon :o) -Ron

You've been a busy bee Ron, haven't you lol ;) I'm gonna get around and listen thru all of your new songs, but I figured I had to start somewhere. The title of this song instantly spoke to me right now, as I have been whispering on the top of my lungs for a long time. "Sing out, let it be heared". Such a powerful line, Ron. These lyrics found me on a personal level, as well as I enjoyed the feeling of it, It's light as a cloud, lovely vocals, beautiful rich tone in your guitar. A true original!

Ron that was great! Your songs have this feel like old firends,like the old songs have. Love your sense of melody in a song. The vocal line is so melodic with the sweet chords you use. The music is wonderful and makes you smile and feel happy. and the lyrics? fabulous,very uplifting,gives me a hope. :) I really love what you do my buddy and the way you sing and play,not many in your league. I gotta start listening to your tunes more now they're so beautifully written. :)))
