It’s the Singer, Not the Song Lyrics by Survivor

Vital Signs

0

[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Still you wonder if you've got the clout
To make it happen in this cold-hearted town
And you're feeling that you're trapped
You wonder, should you just stop trying?
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Inside your heart is aching, 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
Reaching for a star to guide you on your way
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Still you wonder if you've got the clout
To make a difference in this cold-hearted town
And you're feeling that you're lost
You wonder, should you just stop trying?
[Chorus 2]
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 coming from the heart, all the people sing along
It's the man behind the music, it's the singer, not the song
[Chorus 2]
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 coming from the heart, all the people sing along
It's the man behind the music, it's the singer, not the song
