“Why We Sing”, a popular choral work by Greg Gilpin, has swept the world with performances by thousands of choral groups. This powerful and original ballad begins in a simple union and builds to an ending with full choral presence and moving descant that speaks of why we lift our voice and sing: music is a sound of hope and peace, it celebrates and speaks what we believe; music tears down the walls between one and other: it builds a bridge and speaks to one and all.
《我們為何而唱》，由吉爾賓創作的流行合唱曲，風靡全球，獲逾千個合唱團體在音樂會中演唱。
這首富感染力的原創歌謠，以簡單的女聲齊唱掀起序幕，並漸進發展成四部混聲合唱，配合感動人心的領唱，訴說我們因何放聲高唱：音樂是希望之聲，是和平之聲，它讚頌、宣揚我們的信念；音樂能推倒人與人之間的厚牆，建造溝通的橋樑，讓我們透過音樂，互相了解，互相體諒。
LYRICS:
A sound of hope, a sound of peace,
a sound that celebrates and speaks what we believe.
A sound of love, a sound so strong,
it’s amazing what is given when we share a song.
This is why we sing, why we lift our voice,
why we stand as one in harmony.
This is why we sing, why we lift our voice,
take my hand and sing with me.
Sooth a soul, mend a heart, bring together lives
that have been torn apart.
Share the joy, find a friend,
it’s a never-ending gift that circles back again.
Music builds a bridge, it can tear down a wall.
Music is a language, that can speak to one and all.
This is why we sing!
We sing!
We Sing!
