Lyrics
Without a song the day would never end
Without a song, the day seems endless and lacks fulfillment.
Without a song the road would never bend
Without a song, life's journey lacks twists and turns, becoming monotonous.
When things go wrong a man ain't got a friend
During difficult times, a person feels alone and without support if there's no song.
Without a song
