I've seen people cover three state lines to reach a one-horse town, pitch a tent in a field
To see a band that's giving up their time, cause the worried and wounded needed help to heal
It brings us together, raises hope, gives voices to battlers at the end of the rope
It changes minds, it charges hearts, can put back together what was torn apart
So you can't tell me there's nothing else to it
It's just words of a chord with a story
Like running right through it
Cause I've seen the scared and confused, the brave and the broken
All come together and use it
If you'd seen what I've seen, you'd never say
It's just music
I've seen memories tied to a song that keep us living long after we're gone
Watch the unshakable, the stubborn and headstrong
Moved by a lyric to admit that they were wrong
It makes a difference, drives a change
It breaks down borders, turns the page
Let's us love when the world wants hate
Let's us love when the world wants hate
Turns a cold, dark night to a brand new day
So you can't tell me there's nothing else to it
It's just words of a chord with a story
Like running right through it
Cause I've seen the scared and confused, the brave and the broken
All come together and use it
If you'd seen what I've seen, you'd never say
It's just music
A pen goes to paper and words become a tune
And you hear a song, a song, a song, a song, a song
You hear it on the radio and it reaches out to you
It makes you feel something so you jump in your car
And you drive three state lines, now look where you are
So you can't tell me there's nothing else to it
It's just words of a chord with a storyline running right through it
Cause I've seen the scared and confused, the brave and the broken
All come together and use it
If you'd seen what I've seen, you'd never say
It's just music
I've seen people cover three state lines to reach a one-horse town
And pitch a tent on a field
Cause I've seen the scared and confused, the brave and the broken
