Lyrics:

Words and music by Mentor Williams

Day after day Im more confused
But I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know thats a game that I hate to lose
Im feelin the strain'?now aint that a shame

Oh gimme the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away
Gimme the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away

Beginning to think that Im wasting time
And I dont understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now its up to you'?to carry me through

Chorus

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when Im feelin blue
The guitars coming through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy youve given me
I want you to know I believe in song
Rhythm, rhyme and harmony
Theyve helped me along'?theyre making me strong
