  • A man is not his song
    A song is a promise
    If a man is just his song
    Then the song is beyond us

    How we make it up
    And it sends in deep elation
    Eventually it can let you down
    By believing in standing ovation
    Song won't lift up if
    Made by revenge so sweet
    I will will it
    To add up to more than you or me

    'Cause a man is not his song
    And I'm not a story
    But I wanna sing along
    If he's singing it for me

    That filament that flies by
    And it brings yellow light
    From those yellow summers back
    By coconut palm and snowy pine
    I've heard years pass
    Through my ears to hear otherwise
    They all believe in old melodies
    I carry tunes around like they carry me

    A man is not his song
    Though we all wanna sing along
    We all heard those old melodies
    Like they're singing right to me

    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed

    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed

    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
    More than a melody's needed
