Lyrics------


When the world seems far beyond me
And I have no place to go
When my life seems cold and empty
And I feel I'm all alone
Then a song that I remember
Helps to ease my troubled mind
And I find the strength within me
To reach out just one more time

For as long as I have music
As long as there's a song for me to sing
I can find my way, I can see a brighter day
The music in my life will set my spirit
When the road is dark and lonely
And I feel I want to cry
When the dreams I keep inside me
Seem to fade and almost die
Then I call upon my music
And it helps to dry my tears
And I know that I can make it
I'll go on despite my fears

For as long as I have music.....
