Title: I Write The Songs

I've been alive forever,

and I wrote the very first song.

I put the words and the melodies together,

I am music,

and I write the songs.

I write the songs that make the whole world sing.

I write the songs of love and special thing s.

I write the songs that make the young girls cry.

I write the songs, I write the songs.

My home lies deep within you,

and I've got my own place in your sole.

Now, when I look out through your eyes,

I'm you'g again, even though I'm very old.

Chorus

Oh my music makes you dance

and gives your spirit to take a chance,

and I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move.

Music fills your heart,

well, that's a real fine place to start.

It's from me it's for you,

it's from you, it's from me,

it's a world wide symphony.

Chorus

I am music, and I write the songs.
