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
