Cover of the most popular song from the Moody Blues 1972 #1 Billboard album, "Seventh Sojourn". The words are probably truer today than ever.

Story behind the song
This song had a big impact on me during my last year of high school. Recently, the writer, John Lodge, just died. That just leaves Hayward still alive. Later I performed this song live fairly often. I was largely able to record it just from memory.
Lyrics
I'M JUST A SINGER (In a Rock 'n Roll Band) I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth Meeting so many people Who are trying to be free And while I'm traveling I hear so many words Language barriers broken Now we've found the key And if you want the wind of change To blow about you And you're the only other person to know, don't tell me I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band. A thousand pictures can be drawn from one word Only who is the artist We got to agree A thousand miles can lead so many ways Just to know who is driving What a help it would be So if you want this world of yours To turn about you And you can see exactly what to do Please tell me I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band. How can we understand Riots by the people for the people Who are only destroying themselves And when you see a frightened Person who is frightened by the People who are scorching this earth. Scorching this earth I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth Meeting so many people Who are trying to be free And while I'm traveling I hear so many words Language barriers broken Now we've found the key And if you want the wind of change To blow about you And you're the only other person to know, don't tell me I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band. I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band How can we understand Riots by the people for the people Who are only destroying themselves And when you see a frightened Person who is frightened by the People who are scorching this earth. Scorching this earth Music is the traveler crossing our world Meeting so many people bridging the seas I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band Music is the traveler crossing our world Meeting so many people bridging the seas I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band. We're just the singers in a rock and roll band. I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band...
