It's The Singer, Not The Song Songtext
von Survivor

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
