Makin’ Music

Doot doot do do,
Doot doot do do
Do do doot
Do do do doot do do

I always said: “Don’t sing for fame,
Don’t sing for riches, don’t play that game.
If you do it for glory you might gain a name
But, watch out, friend, you’ll never be the same.

Say something diff’rent, meaningful too,
Sing of the changes you’ve been through.
Seek what is simple, seek what is true,
Take them, take them through the changes too.

Makin’ music, makin’ a song,
Makin’ love a little easier,
Takin’ a feelin’, makin’ it strong,
Takin’ life and makin’ a song.

People will notice, people will care,
But they don’t like you tellin’ them where.
They just won’t hear it, no time to spare,
So I’ll sing ‘em the music and leave the rest there.

Makin’ music, makin’ a song,
Makin’ love a little easier,
Takin’ a feelin’, makin’ it strong,
Takin’ life and makin’ a song.

Makin’ music, makin’ a song,
Makin’ love a little easier,
Takin’ a feelin’, makin’ it strong,
Takin’ life and makin’ a song.
