He stands there like demon
A guitar for a pitch fork
A stare that looks right through
To your soul
He knows they've come to see him
And he knows they wonder why
He can't stand still
And he look so tired and old
Sing a song, try not to think
Act like it don't hurt
Sing a song to cover up your cry
Make them laugh, let them dance
You know that you'll make it
But they don't know
How hard you have to try
With a smile that charms the women
And a snare that makes men nervous
He sings a song of a loving fighting man
The band wonders how he's done it
From what the world did to him
And why it never happen like they plan
Sing a song, try not to think
Act like it don't hurt
Sing a song to cover up your cry
Make them laugh, let them dance
You know that you'll make it
But they don't know
How hard you have to try
He pours out songs like water
With each one he seem stronger
From somewhere comes a new found energy
He gives them half his heart
And a slow song love ballad
And I feel a kindred spirit within me
Sing a song, try not to think
Act like it don't hurt
Sing a song to cover up your cry
Make them laugh, let them dance
You know that you'll make it
But they don't know
How hard you have to try
Make them laugh, let them dance
You know that you'll make it
But they don't know
How hard you have to try
It's over now
And you've more than gotten by
