Wanna write a song that makes you cry
Makes you grow wings, take off and fly
Feel things you haven't felt in a while
Makes you laugh, makes you smile

Wanna write a song that makes ya dig deep
Makes you strong when you're feelin' weak
That makes you weep, or makes you pray
That makes you take, a leap of faith

Want to write a song that makes you  think
About a love gone wrong or on the brink
A song that makes you take a chance
Makes you wanna sing along and dance.

Want to write a song that changes lives
Makes you take and hold your baby tight
That makes you go against the grain
Feeds your soul and fans the flame

But a song can only do so much
Sometimes you just need a human touch
If you're in touch with how you feel
A song can help you mend and heal

Want to write a song that makes you  think
About a love gone wrong or on the brink
A song that makes you take a chance
Makes you wanna sing along and dance.

Want to write a song that changes lives
Makes you take and hold your baby tight
That makes you go against the grain
Feeds your soul and fans the flame

[Outro]
But a song can only do so much
Sometimes you just need a human touch
If you're in touch with how you feel
A song can help you mend and heal

Music can only do so much
But don't use it as a crutch
It can help you learn to change
If you're ready to turn the page
