I’m going to sing my song
And sing it all day long
A song that never ends
How can I tell you, all the things inside my head.

The change in these past years
Has made me see our world
In many different ways
How can I tell you, love can change our destiny.

Love can change the world
Love can change your life
Do what makes you happy
Do what you know is right
And love with all your might
Before it’s too late

Where did I find all these words
Something inside of me is burning
There’s life in other worlds
Maybe they’ll come to earth
Helping man to find a way

One day I hope we’ll be in perfect harmony
A planet with one mind
Then I could tell you
All the things inside my head

I’m going to sing my song
And sing it all day long
A song that never ends
How can I tell you, all the things inside my head.

I’m going to sing my song
A song that never ends

You can understand the lyrics to My Song if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to My Song" means the words set to the music of My Song, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Moody Blues. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
