about

by John Bertles

lyrics

As I grew up my music was
the one thing that kept me alive
Helped me wake up helped me work
held my hand when I was sad
Helped me get to school on time
You know my music is the power
the power of me
music is the power of me
It makes me sing and dance all night
You know my music is the power
the power of me
music is the power of me
It makes me sing and dance all night

Every single person in the world
Hears music every single day
And though we may not like every single song
You know that they’ve got something to say
You know my music is the power
the power of me
music is the power of me
It makes me whirl and twirl all night
You know my music is the power
the power of me
music is the power of me
It makes me sigh and fly away

You know my music
takes me to the sky
it makes my sing, makes me play
makes me feel alright
you know music
can set me free
you know my music my music
is the power of me
the power of me, yeah

Music is the power of me
Music is the power of me
Music is the power
Music is the power children
Music is the power of me
