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
