Survivor: It's the singer, not the song lyrics

Survivor

It's the singer, not the song

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

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
