Singers

 If you are a good singer you can sing in the rain

you can laugh with the birds open mouthed 

you can dance in the thunder and slip underneath

the rug where the dust lies

If you are a good banker you can save your dough

you can count your change in your back pockets

and never give a thought to bills

but you can't wait for me at the corner

to trade out our free will

If you are a good singer you can find your voice

tell him how you feel and raid the pantry for rice

at your wedding you can take the team of horses

to the bitter winter

where you can live in the cabin

far from anyone 

and sing
