Bill Withers tribute song

(Verse 1) In the heart of the city where the red bricks lay, Lies a soulful legend, Bill Withers paved the way, His voice echoed truths, in every note it rang, A storyteller’s soul, in every lyric he sang.

My friends, they whisper, they think they know, Saying, "All you do is let the currents flow." But in the depths of rhythm, in the beats that groove, Bill's melody, his truth, they constantly prove.

(Chorus) So let me spread this news, let it ring so true, When it feels this good, let the music ensue. Oh, keep on using me, 'til I'm used right up, In this symphony of life, drink from that cup.

(Verse 2) My brother once spoke, said "Don't let them tread, Don't let them use you, don't let them in your head." But in this journey, in this poetic ride, I'm using and being used, side by side.

Yeah, there are times when it stings, it's oh so tough, Amongst the high class, sometimes it's rough. But baby, when love's melody starts to play, Can't get enough of that beat, it's where I'll stay.

(Chorus) So keep on playing, using me, as we intertwine, In this dance of life, where the rhythms align. Talking 'bout using, it's all give and take, In this musical exchange, there's no mistake.

(Bridge) It’s the way you use me, it’s the things that you do, In this grand performance, we find something true. Bill's red brick soul, it echoes through time, In every verse, in every rhyme.

(Outro) So let's spread this news, let the melody erupt, In the legacy of Withers, raise your voice, lift it up. Oh, keep on using me, until I'm used up, In this grand composition, let’s fill every cup.
