Without Those Songs
Would Devon be just a poet?Would Bono ever know it without those songs?Would Miley be just a stoner?Johnny Cash just be a loner without those songs?Would Buddy Holly have disappeared?Or would Leonard still be here without those songs?
What happened in their lives?What happened in their hearts?To make them want to write the wordsGonna tear this world apartThe beauty of their livesIs when they're dead and goneThe world still sings alongWhen anything went rightWhen anything went wrongThey put it in a song
Would Elvis be just a lookOr the rolling stone he stood without those songs?Would Sinatra be just a gangsterOr would Jepson be just a dancer without those songs?Would Madonna be just a face?Or Nirvana be just a place without those songs?
What happened in their lives?What happened in their hearts?To make them want to write the wordsGonna tear this world apartThe beauty of their livesIs when they're dead and goneThe world still sings alongWhen anything went rightWhen anything went wrongThey put it in a song
