The Life of A Song

Me, I'm just a singer, though I may be well known

The truth is I'd be nothing without the power of a song

I've been blessed with fame and fortune, oh, but in the end

A song's what I wish I could've been

A song lives forever and never ever dies

Sings enemies together and touches so many lives

Words and melody will always be, long after we're gone

Oh, how I wish I could live the life of a song

I could mend the broke and wounded, I could prove that love is real

And take someone from China to a Carolina cotton field

I could comfort every soldier, hum all the homeless home

I could change the world if I was just a song

A song lives forever and never ever dies

Sings enemies together and touches so many lives

Words and melody will always be, long after we're gone

Oh, how I wish I could live the life of a song

There's an end for me, it's my destiny

But this song will carry on

And it's just three minutes long

Oh, how I wish I could live the life of a song

Oh, how I wish I could live the life of a song
