Wild wind blows across the sea
Songs of time, through the centuries
A song is born with each new babe
The words of the old for the young to trade
A story's told from thought to theme
With great intent to create the scene
A message for all or a song for two
It's not what's written, just what it says to you
It's not the music, it's how you play it
It's not the words, it's how you say it
It's not the music, it's how you play it
It's not the words, it's how you say it
Other night, I laid down to sleep
And dreamt of love, romantic fantasies
But when I woke, I began to weep
Realizing it was not reality
A song is old, but forever it will live
In the minds of those who take what it can give, yeah
It's not the music, it's how you play it
It's not the words, it's how you say it
It's not the music, it's how you play it
It's not the words, it's how you say it
It's not the music, it's how you play it
It's not the words, it's how you say it
