Refrain:

Without a song, the day would never end; Without a song, the road would never bend;
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend, Without a song.
That field of corn, would never see a plow; That field of corn, would be deserted now;
A man is born, but he's no good no how, Without a song.

 

Bridge:
I got my troubles and woe, But sure as I know the Jordan will roll.
I'll get along, as long as a song is strong in my soul.

 

Last Refrain:
I'll never know, what makes the rain to fall; I'll never know, what makes the grass so tall;
I only know, there ain't no love at all, Without a song.
