A Song For You Lyrics

Oh, my land is like a wild goose
Wanders all around everywhere
Trembles and it shakes till every tree is loose
It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails
So take me down to your dance floor
And I won´t mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we will still be there

Jesus built a ship to sing a song to
It sails the rivers and it sails the tide
Some of my friends don´t know who they belong to
Some can´t get a single thing to work inside
So take me down to your dance floor
And I won´t mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we will still be there

I loved you every day and now I´m leaving
And I can see the sorrow in your eyes
I hope you know a lot more than you´re believing
Just so the sun don´t hurt you when you cry
Oh, take me down to your dance floor
I won´t mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we may still be there
And tomorrow we may still be there

Oh, my land is like a wild goose 
Wanders all around everywhere 
Trembles and it shakes till every tree is loose 
It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails 
So take me down to your dance floor 
And I won´t mind the people when they stare 
Paint a different color on your front door 
And tomorrow we will still be there
 
Jesus built a ship to sing a song to 
It sails the rivers and it sails the tide 
Some of my friends don´t know who they belong to 
Some can´t get a single thing to work inside 
So take me down to your dance floor 
And I won´t mind the people when they stare 
Paint a different color on your front door 
And tomorrow we will still be there

I loved you every day and now I´m leaving 
And I can see the sorrow in your eyes 
I hope you know a lot more than you´re believing 
Just so the sun don´t hurt you when you cry 
Oh, take me down to your dance floor 
I won´t mind the people when they stare 
Paint a different color on your front door 
And tomorrow we may still be there 
And tomorrow we may still be there

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
