I was five years old the first time I heard that music playFrom the back porch of that old farm housethe music carried me awayI couldn’t help myself,I just had to see who could make that guitar singSo I followed the sound to an old oak tree,he had a guitar on his kneeHe said, « Hello my name is Moses,I need someone to set me freeI made a deal with the man with the gold in his hand,he’s gonna take my soul from meYou got a light in your eye and a song in your heartdon’t ever let that fade awayYou better hold true to what’s been givin’to you or you might lose come judgment day »Chorus:Let the music play, play onYou gotta sing like a bird on the wing until your days are doneLet the music play oh yeahFind it in your heart feel it in your soulLet the music play onI remembered his words whenI hit the road with a band and a show to doOne day I got a call from theSouthland that he wasn’t gonna make it throughSo I flew through the night just to be by his sideas he went to give the devil his dueAnd he said these words witha light in his eye just like I’m telling youRepeat Chorus:Let the music play, play onYou gotta sing like a bird on the wing until your days are doneLet the music play oh yeahFind it in your heart feel it in your soulLet the music play onI took him by the hand and I prayed to theLord until a light shown down from aboveAnd I fell to my knees when I heard the angels singRepeat Chorus:Let the music play, play on (play on)You gotta sing like a bird on the wing until your days are doneLet the music play oh yeahFind it in your heart feel it in your soulLet the music play oh yeahYou gotta sing like a bird on the wing until your days are doneLet the music play oh yeahFind it in your heart feel it in your soulLet the music play onLet the music play onLet the music play on
