lyrics
1. The People Make The Music
I drink my coffee in Brooklyn, so when I get to Manhattan I’ll be ready to go, yea I’ll be good to go On and On.
Make my money in motion, I’m a true man of action I don’t ever slow down, cause this world keeps spinning Round and round.
I found my path underground, life laid my track underground, don’t know where it’s gonna lead, but there’s a light that I See so clear.
Though I put my hands into it
The people shape the music
And I put my heart into it,
The people make the music.
I put my soul in there so,
The people feel my melody,
I’ve got this song, I’ve got to sing.
I swing my drum sing my song. My voice, my arm, my will’s strong enough to carry me on, enough to carry me On and on.
I keep this fire in my heart. It keeps me warm when I start to feel the cold wind of doubt, alone forgotten and Down and Out.
Though I put my hands into it
The people shape the music
And I put my heart into it,
The people make the music
I put my soul in there so,
The people feel my melody,
I’ve got this song, I’ve got to sing.
‘cause
You don’t know just how long you’re gonna have that voice.
The air’s there longing to hold your music, but you’ve gotta take it and shape it, it’s your choice.
Though I put my hands into it
The people shape the music
And I put my heart into it, The people make the music
I put my soul in there so, The people feel my melody,
I’ve got this song, I’ve got to sing.
people move like the ocean and I watch them go by and I remember
my home, I think of all that I left behind.
