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 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, 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 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
