Singer Of Songs

Johnny Cash · Unearthed [2003]

I'm not a savior and I'm not a saint

The man with the answers I certainly ain't

I wouldn't tell you, what's right or what's wrong

I'm just a singer of songs



But I can take you for a walk

Along a little country stream

I can make you see through lovers? eyes

And understand their dreams



I can help you hear a baby's laugh

And feel the joy it brings

Yes, I do it with the songs

That I sing



I'm not a prophet and I'm not a priest

I'm not a wise man, who's come from the East

I wouldn't tell you what's right or what's wrong

I'm just a singer of songs



But I can take you to a city

Where a Man was crucified

I can tell you how He lived

And I can tell you why He died



I can help proclaim the glory

Of this mighty King of Kings

Yes, I can do it with the songs

That I sing



I'm not a great man

I don't claim to be

But when I meet my Maker

And He questions me



I won't hang my head

I will stand proud and strong

And say, ?I was a singer

Lord, I was a singer

Yes, I was a singer of songs?
