What Good Is a Song

What good, what good is a song

Ooh ooh yeah

What good, what good, is a song

What good, what good, is a song

What good are the lyrics if they can′t soothe you?

If they can't ease a troubled mind

Oh, what good is the beat if it can′t move you?

It would be a waste of time

(Uuuh uuuh, please you)

What good is the music if it can't please you? Oh yeah

If it has no depth or height

(What good is a song)

What good is a rhyme if it can't be relieve you, oh nooo? Uuuh

Of some problem in your life, oh yeah

(Life, yeah)

What good is a song if it cannot inspire

(Uhu huuuhuuuu)

If it has no message to bring

If a song cannot send you higher, higher, higher

Then it′s not good enough to sing

You can hum a little song when you′re hurt

Then feel a reason for some laughter

Or whistle a melody while you work

It will make your day go faster

(Uuuh uuuh, spirits)

Psalms have been known to lift the spirits

Psalms have been known to touch the soul

(What good is a song?)

But when nobody ever needs to hear it

Then it's not worth the title it holds, ohhh oh ohhh

(Holds, yeah)

What good is a song if it cannot inspire?

(Ohhh, nooo)

If it has no message to bring

(If it has no message to bring)

If a song cannot send you higher, higher, higher

(Higher, higher, higher, oh yeah)

Then it′s not good enough to sing

(If it ain't got no message)

Then it′s no good enough to sing

(If it cannot inspire, yeah yeah)

Then it's no good enough to sing

(If it can′t soothe you)

What good, what good is a song?

(If it cannot move you, no no)

(If it cannot please you)

(Uuh, if it cannot soothe you)

What good, what good is a song?

(Uuhuuuu---)

Then it's not good enough to sing

(If it ain't got no message)

Then it′s not good enough to sing

(If it cannot inspire)

Then it′s not good enough to sing

(Do do do do)

(If it ain't got no message, no)

(If it can't send you higher)

What good, what good is a song?

(Mmmm if it can′t ease you)

(If it cannot help to please you)

What good, what good is a song?

Then it's not good enough to sing

Then it′s not good enough to sing

Then it's not good enough to sing

What good, what good is a song?

What good, what good is a song?

Then it′s not good enough to sing

Then it's not good enough to sing

Then it's not good enough to sing

What good, what good is a song?
