Martin Lyrics
[Martin's Intro]
He was born in the woods,
Torn from his home
He was naked and destined
To be out on his own,
And he waited in darkness
Hoping someone might see
From something so rough,
What a treasure he'd be
Stronger than steel and wood,
Seen me through the bad and good
When I'm hanging by a string,
Every little thing is understood
Between Martin and me
He's hollow in the middle
From the shape that he's in
He's either filled up with music
Or locked in his shell again,
And it takes some fine tuning
To make him come around,
But he's a huge piece of me
And I'll never put him down
Stronger than steel and wood,
Seen me through the bad and good
And when I'm hanging by a string,
Every little thing is understood
Between Martin and me
[Martin's Solo]
He is a good friend
And he has his own voice,
And you get what you give
Sometimes it's just noise,
But if you treat him well
He will last your life long
If you're honest and open
He will write you a song
(Write you a song)
Write you a song
Stronger than steel and wood,
Seen me through the bad and good
When I'm hanging by a string,
Every little thing is understood
Hanging on by a string
Every little thing is understood
Between Martin and me
[Martin's Outro]
Torn from his home
He was naked and destined
To be out on his own,
And he waited in darkness
Hoping someone might see
From something so rough,
What a treasure he'd be
Seen me through the bad and good
When I'm hanging by a string,
Every little thing is understood
Between Martin and me
From the shape that he's in
He's either filled up with music
Or locked in his shell again,
And it takes some fine tuning
To make him come around,
But he's a huge piece of me
And I'll never put him down
Seen me through the bad and good
And when I'm hanging by a string,
Every little thing is understood
Between Martin and me
And he has his own voice,
And you get what you give
Sometimes it's just noise,
But if you treat him well
He will last your life long
If you're honest and open
He will write you a song
(Write you a song)
Write you a song
Seen me through the bad and good
When I'm hanging by a string,
Every little thing is understood
Hanging on by a string
Every little thing is understood
Between Martin and me

Such an awesome song. So much passion and love for his guitar and his music. I will say that imo, this is the best song i've ever heard someone sing about their instrument.
The song is clearly about his Martin guitar, but I believe it could also be an illusion to Christ; specifically the chorus. Maybe.
