about

"This song is about how music has the ability to bring peace and comfort to us during difficult times.

I wrote this song during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the intent of spreading the message that we should strive to work together in harmony despite our differences.

Music brings people together, and sometimes it helps us see things from a different perspective. I hope this song reminds us to slow down and reflect on what really matters in life."

~ Amanda Jean

lyrics

PLAY THE MUSIC
© Copyright June 2020, Written & Composed by Amanda Jean Wourms

It’s hard to change the mind of a small mind
Everybody just wants to be right
Thinking life is black and white
Just to find a reason to fight

It’s hard to understand when you don’t stand
In the shoes of another man
We’re all part of a bigger plan, yeah
It’s out of our hands

(Hm) Just play the music
(Hm) The world sure could use it
(Hm) Do it all in the name
The name of love
The name of love, yeah
Hm...

It’s hard to find peace if you don’t believe
Well sometimes you’ve got to take that leap
And find a way to find your faith again

It’s hard to be strong when you’re so low
So lost you can’t find your soul
Find yourself at the end of the rope
Barely holding onto hope

(Hm) Well just play the music
(Hm) The world sure could use it
(Hm) Do it all in the name
The name of love
The name of love

In the name of love
Yeah...
