Survivor - It's The Singer Not The Song lyrics

Published by EMI Virgin Music, Inc. - ASCAP/Rude Music, Inc. - BMI

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'

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 your heart is achin'

There's challenge for the takin'

So shoot it from the hip

Believe in what you say

You're calling this your best fight

You're lookin' for the limelight

Reachin' for a star to guide you on your way

Still you wonder if you've got the clout

To make a difference in this cold hearted town

And you're feelin' that you lost

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

They 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
