It's The Singer Not The Song |
It’s just another summer |
You hear a different drummer |
You’re looking for a way to check out from this grind |
You wrestle with temptation |
Your job is sheer frustration |
'Cause there’s a lifetime chance you’ve yet to find |
Still you wonder if you’ve got the clout |
To make it happen in this cold-hearted town |
And you’re feelin' that you’re trapped |
You wonder should you just stop tryin' |
Well take a message from the man |
Who’s not afraid to come on strong |
When there’s magic in the music |
It’s the singer not the song |
When it’s comin' from the heart |
All the people sing along |
It’s the man behind the music |
It’s the singer not the song |
Inside you heart is achin' |
There’s challenge for the taking |
So shoot it from the hip |
Believe in what you say |
You’re calling this your best fight |
You’re looking for the limelight |
Reachin' for a star to guide you on your way |
Well give the glory to the man |
Who’s not afraid to come on strong |
When there’s magic in the music |
It’s the singer not the song |
When it’s comin' from the heart |
All the people sing along |
It’s the man behind the music |
It’s the singer not the song |
