Since childhood – one mission – has fueled my heart’s ambition
I kept my vision focused on the charts
Our love was in season – just three chords and a reason
In time we learned the balance of two hearts
We were burning with the fire of new creation
There’s no height we couldn’t climb
No word we couldn’t rhyme
You pushed me to the limits of my soul

Thought the melodies have changed
Still the song remains the same
You’re the torch that lights the flame
Behind the music
Every town along the way
From every stage I ever played
You would keep the faith, whenever I’d start to lose it
It was always you – when the spotlight turned to blue
Behind the music

The glamour – the glory – is only one part of the story
You kept my two feet firmly on the ground
I was just like you found me – when all the world’s around me
Was spinning – twirling – turning upside down
We would hear those songs on each and every station
And we never lost the thrill – I get the same old chill
When the audience begins to sing along

Thought the melodies have changed
Still the song remains the same
You’re the torch that lights the flame
Behind the music
Every town along the way
From every stage I ever played
You would keep the faith, whenever I’d start to lose it
It was always you – I can feel your light shine through
Behind the music

When I thought about giving up
Your courage would fill my cup
Lifting my spirits higher and higher
And every song that I would sing
You were waiting there in the wings
Lifting my voice higher and higher

Thought the melodies have changed
Still the song remains the same
You’re the torch that light the flame
Behind the music
Every town along the way
From every stage I ever played
You would keep the faith, whenever I’d start to lose it
It was always you – I can see you light shine through
Behind the music
