“IT WILL LIFT YOU UP”
Words and Music by Alan Harkrader
About the Song:
A typical band pleads for someone to help them get a recording deal.
Lyrics:
Can you help me get the ear of the man who has his hand on the music machine
You know what I mean
I know somewhere out there there’s some folks who’d like to hear us play and sing
And give it everything
It’s just simple music with words to tell the story, most the time the words are of love
It’s for young and old so there’s no one who’s excluded sing along and it will lift you up
Sing along and it will lift you up
Can you help us get some time with the guy who signs on the line for the record deal
Thing, you know what I mean
I know there’s folks right here who are qualified and sincere and will vouch for the
Groove, and the way it makes them move
It’s just simple music with words to tell the story, most the time the words are of love
It’s for young and old so there’s no one who’s excluded sing along and it will lift you up
Sing along and it will lift you up
We’re just looking for a little break, we just need a little help, if the powers that be
don’t care about me and you that’s not cause to change what we do cause we like what
we do and the people do too
When the groove gets really fine we can get in a conga line and we’ll dance and sing
And shake up everything.
We’ll all be in the band and we can give ourselves a hand if the party was right and we’ve had a good night
It’s just simple music with words to tell the story, most the time the words are of love
It’s for young and old so there’s no one who’s excluded sing along and it will lift you up
Sing along and it will lift you up
