I Am a Prisoner Songtext

I am a singer, i work at night
I stand in front of you
And hold my notes up to the light
I tune up all my secrets
And hang them on my voice
I have no other talent
I have no other choice
I am a singer...

I do the ballads, i do the blues
You know no matter what
I got a song for you to use
I step inside my feelings
And spread my story out
And when the calls me
It proves without a doubt
I am a singer...

I remember every melody,
That ever passed my way
From last night's solo concert
To my part in a highschool play
I remember every songbook
I lived thru' page by page
And how i came to love you
Once you left me on the stage

I am a singer, i sing your songs
I bring the words to life
And keep the beat where it belongs
I work for your attention
And wait for your applause
You have me by my music
And i need your love because
I am a singer.
I am a singer.
I am a singer
