When I was a younger man
People say don't dream too tall
'Cause if you live your life that way
You set yourself up for big falls

I stay up late in my room at night
Play my heroes on the turntable
Opened me to pure phat groove
Help my soul break down them walls

I thank you, I thank you
For all the music that you've shown to me
I thank you 'cause you set me free
Free to simply just be me

You don't know all the influence
The subtle positives that you had on me
Came about like a renaissance
Like a little happy dance, got into my feet

But in your times the roads you chose
Led you to your hard luck blues
I always feared what it was like
To live inside your big old shoes

I thank you, I thank you
For all the music that you've shown to me
I thank you 'cause you set me free
Free to simply just be me

But do ya love music, say I do
And if ya love music, say thank you
But do ya love music, say I do
And if ya love music, say thank you, thank you, thank you

I thank you, I thank you
For all the music that you've shown to me
I thank you 'cause you set me free
Free to simply just be me

Oh, I thank you, I thank you
For all the music that you've shown to me
I thank you 'cause you set me free
Free to simply just be me

Bass line
Can I get a little keyboard now
Mister guitar man come on, yeah
Alright, it's lovely

I thank you, I thank you
For all the music that you've shown to me
I thank you 'cause you set me free
Free to simply just be me

You know, I thank you, I thank you
For all the music that you've shown to me
I thank you 'cause you set me free
Free to simply just be me

Do ya love music, I do
Do ya love music, I do
Say do ya love music, I do

Do ya love music, I do
Do ya love music, I do
Do ya love music, I do

Say do ya love music, I do, do ya love music
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
Set me free, set me free, set me free, yeah
It's lovely, it's lovely, it's lovely, it's lovely
