me i m just a singer though i may be well known the truth is i d be nothing without the power of a song i ve been blessed with fame and fortune oh but in the end a song s what i wish i could ve been chorus a song lives forever and never ever dies sings enemies together and touches so many lives words and melody will always be long after we re gone oh how i wish i could live the life of a song i could mend the broke and wounded i could prove that love is real and take someone from china to a carolina cotton field i could comfort every soldier hum all the homeless home i could change the world if i was just a song repeat chorus instrumental there s an end for me it s my destiny but this song will carry on and it s just three minutes long oh how i wish i could live the life of a song oh how i wish i could live the life of a song
