The Singer lyrics

The singer waits behind the curtain

peers out on the crowd below him

searching for the strength within him

up until the music begins

Then the singer

standing on the stage

disappears into the song

and the song will lift him up and leads him on

sorrow and regret so far below him

now the music sets him free

Something all these feelings out loud

confessing love and other true things

for himself and for tonight's crowd

But the singer

he will raise his voice

for everyone who feels the song

he will offer up the chance to sing along...

never knowing who's meant to receive it

needs the comfort of the chair

while the music sets them free

Tonight

He sings

They are free

Tonight.
