Without a Song
Harmony of Life: Finding Strength in Melodies
Lyrics
Without a song the day would never end
Without music, life seems endless and lacks fulfillment.
Without a song the road would never bend
Music is essential for adding twists and turns to the journey of life.
When things go wrong a man ain't got a friend
In difficult times, a person feels lonely without the solace of a song.
Without a song
Emphasizing the importance of music in one's life.
That field of corn would never see a plow
A metaphorical expression suggesting that without music, productivity and growth would cease.
That field of corn would be deserted now
Implies that without music, valuable aspects of life would be abandoned.
A man is born but he's no good no how
Reflects a pessimistic view of human nature, stating that a person is born flawed without the influence of music.
Without a song

I got my trouble and woe but, sure as I know, the Jordan will roll

I'll never know what makes that grass so tall

I only know there ain't no love at all
Expresses a cynical view, suggesting a lack of love without the presence of music.
Without a song

I've-a got my trouble and woe and, sure as I know, the Jordan will roll
Similar to line 9, reemphasizes facing challenges with the belief in the enduring power of music.
And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul
Reaffirms the ability to persevere with the strength derived from music.
I'll-a never know what makes that rain to fall
Repetition of the mysterious nature of rain, underscoring the uncertainty of life.
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall

I only know there ain't no love at all
Restates the idea that without music, love is absent.
