This Is Music by Verve, The

I stand accused just like you
I stand accused just like you
For being born without a silver spoon
For being born without a silver spoon
Stood at the top of a hill
Stood at the top of a hill
Over my town I was found
Over my town i was found


I've been on the shelf too long

Sitting at home in my bed too long
I've been on the shelf too long
Got my things and now I'm gone
Sitting at home in my bed too long
How's the world gonna from take me?
Got my things and now i'm gone

How's the world gonna from take me?
Finding myself used to be hard

But now I see the light

If love is a drug
Finding myself used to be hard
Then I don't need it
But now i see the light

If love is a drug
I've been on the shelf too long
Then i don't need it
Sitting at home in my bed too long

Now it's time to hear my song

How are you gonna take it?
I've been on the shelf too long

Sitting at home in my bed too long
I've been on the shelf too long
Now it's time to hear my song
Think the words without the song
How are you gonna take it?
Never had a way to go

Tell me now I'm taking it

I've been on the shelf too long
I've been on the shelf too long
I've been on the shelf too long
Think the words without the song
I've been on the shelf too long
Never had a way to go

Tell me now i'm taking it
We've got a lot of living to do
I've been on the shelf too long
There's a door in my mind that's open wide
I've been on the shelf too long
Come inside come inside
I've been on the shelf too long


Jesus never saved me

He'll never save you too, and you know!
We've got a lot of living to do
I've got a little sticker on the back of my boot
There's a door in my mind that's open wide
This is music
Come inside come inside


And now I see the light shining bright in my eyes

If love is the drug then it ain't for me
Jesus never saved me
Well music is my life
He'll never save you too, and you know!
And loved by me
I've got a little sticker on the back of my boot
I'm gonna move on the floor with my sweet young thing
This is music
Down down down we go till we reach the bottom

Of our soul with this is music

And now i see the light shining bright in my eyes
If love is the drug then it ain't for me
Well music is my life
And loved by me
I'm gonna move on the floor with my sweet young thing
Down down down we go till we reach the bottom
Of our soul with this is music
