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`

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 your heart is achin`
There`s challenge for the takin`
So shoot it from the hip
Believe in what you say
You`re calling this your best fight
You`re lookin` for the limelight
Reachin` for a star to guide you on your way
Still you wonder if you`ve got the clout
To make a difference in this cold hearted town
And you`re feelin` that you lost
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

They 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
