Yesterday I was on the edge
hoping everything was going to work itself out
A good honest man doing the work of God
Trying to make things better for Him
A lover of life in a school for fools
Trying to find another way to survive

New Music, Music, New Music
Sweet Music can lighten us
Can brighten the world, can save us

My friend said well, I think I found a way
To help make myself richer
I said don’t you know , well, it won’t be too long before
The bad ol devil will get you back
Back.. I said put back your heart and sing , sing while
you know youre still living
Sing, sing, sing , while you know theres still

Take a look at the world
Think about how it will end
Thered be no wars in the world
If everybody joined the band
Think about the light in your eyes
Think about what you should know
Thered be no wars in the world
If everybody joined in the show Oh Oh

Think about the light in your eyes
Think about what you should know
Thered be no wars in the world
If everybody joined in the show
In the show

About Lyrics and Music by Cat Stevens

The lyrics for Music are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1974 song by Cat Stevens. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Music have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Music - Cat Stevens and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Music by Cat Stevens in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Music" means the words set to the music of Music, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Cat Stevens. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Music and the lyrics to Music are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Cat Stevens who came here looking just for the lyrics to Music, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
