singer in the band lyrics

I?ll be glad to sign my autograph if you want me to
God knows I love singin?, that's what I was born to do
You see me up there center stage in the spotlight for a while
But in the things that really matter I?m just sittin? on the aisle

?Cause I?ve seen a third grade angel with dark circles ?neath her eyes
Not a trace of hair left on her head saying, ?Daddy, please don?t cry?
A single Mom working overtime, a college kid readin? to the blind
When you look for heroes know that I?m just a singer in a band

I?m thankful to be living in this childhood dream come true
But sometimes the attention just leaves me confused
Yeah, I love my T-shirt on those kids, my name there up in lights
But when the show is done and I?m on the bus ridin? through the night

I think of New York City and those firemen and cops
Who ran in and laid down their lives because it was their job
A soldier in a field of mines with each step he lays it on the line
When you look for heroes know that I?m just a singer in a band

I?m humbled when you take the time to hear my life in verse and rhyme
But when it comes to heroes know that I?m just a singer in a band
I?m a singer in a band
I?ll be glad to sign my autograph if you want me to
God knows I love singin?, that's what I was born to do
