A Song Could Save A Life

They told stories 

That defined the times

On the waves of that old radio 

They would heal you 

With their rhythm and rhyme 

As their words cut right to the bone

And they’d scream and shout 

To cure a war 

If you loved a girl 

They’d make you love her more

And everybody 

Danced the way they liked

It’s freaking me out

The musics gone

And we just pretend

To carry on

And it’s calling me out

So here I am 

A fading voice 

At the bitter end

And I’m trying my friends 

To set it right 

Yeah, there was a time 

A song could save a life

In the temple 

They’d capture your soul

With a chord amped under lights

And we would rock it 

And we’d stumble and roll

Just to bask in the scene of the crime

A band would play

And the crowd would rise

And there would be real tears 

Streaming from our eyes 

And we sang as if 

We were gathered there 

To pray

It’s freaking me out

The musics gone

And we just pretend

To carry on

And it’s calling me out

So here I am 

A fading voice 

At the bitter end

And I’m trying my friends 

To set it right 

Yeah, there was a time 

A song could save a life

I’m holding on 

The music’s gone

Let’s turn it on 

Let’s turn it on

I’m holding on 

The music’s gone

Let’s turn it on 

Let’s turn it on

I’m holding on 

The music’s gone

Let’s turn it on 

Let’s turn it on

It’s freaking me out

The musics gone

And we just pretend

To carry on

And it’s calling me out

So here I am 

A fading voice 

At the bitter end

And I’m trying my friends 

To set it right 

Yeah, there was a time 

A song could save a life
