If it were up to me I'd like to thank
All the singers of the world
Who stood up to clean their slate
If it were up to me I'd like to think
The people of the planet Earth
Would admire those who accept their fate
Truth
Is stranger than fiction
And it's there
For those who want to hear it
To the guys
Who would not let the music die
Thank you
Thank you
To the girls
Who would not let the music die
Thank you
Thank you
Rap and soul tie together the strings
Rock brings the fire, the love, and the hate
Country brings the emotion that carries you through
The timeless old classics, they will never die
The music of ages past will never lie
As the music of the world grows every day
The love
Is more than any other
And it's there
For those willing to feel it
To the guys
Who would not let the music die
Thank you
Thank you
To the girls
Who would not let the music die
Thank you
Thank you
So listen in
So listen up
So listen in
So listen up
Truth
Is stranger than fiction
And it's there
For those who want to hear it
The love
Is more than any other
And it's there
For those willing to feel it
To the guys
Who would not let the music die
Thank you
Thank you
To the girls
Who would not let the music die
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
