Listen to the rhythm of the rhyme in your system
'Cause tonight you're gonna get them with a simple sleight of hand
Easy on the breath now, take your first step now
Here comes the pity now, "he does the best he can"
They'll be singing
Where on earth did you come from son
Right out there in front of everyone?
Ain't you scared, ain't you afraid?
Didn't someone tell you you were great?
I do it for emotion, I do it for the hope
I do it for the passion and the pain and the love
I do it for the art
I do it from the heart that drives me home
I do it 'cause I'm weightless. I do it for the flight
I do it for the making when the mood is right
Whoa, as if you people thought I had a choice
I do it for the noise
Easy on the pacing, I know your heart's racing
Nobody's faking, now you've earned their love
You were nothing, now you're something
Keep on strummin' what you're dreaming of
They'll be singing
Where on earth did you come from son
Right out there in front of everyone?
Ain't you scared, ain't you afraid?
Didn't someone tell you you were great?
I do it 'cause it's mine, I do it 'cause I choose
I do it for the rockin', and the rhythm and the blues
I do it 'cause I care
I do it just to share my story here
I do it for the beauty, I do it for the beat
I do it for the rumble underneath your feet
Whoa, as if you people thought I had a choice
I do it for the noise
I told you people that I'd make it out
Now I'm sitting here on stage, screaming out loud
I do it 'cause it moves me, 'cause it's the way I walk
So you look me in the eye when we need to talk
I want to touch your lives, I wanna touch your soul
So just so you know
I do it for the pain coming through this guitar
I'm not gonna lie y'all, I wanna be a star
This music is my purpose, this music is my voice
I do it for the noise
This music is my purpose, this music is my voice
I do it for the noise
