The Master Lyrics

Just don't know why I keep on tryin'
Must be a better way out
I hope I find it soon
Every night, I just can't keep from cryin'
Even my old dog
Keeps howlin' at the moon
Even my old dog
Keeps howlin' at the moon
Even the sun, it just a keep on shinin'
Pollyanna days when I was a child and on my own
Even the tracks, they just a keep on linin'
I believe my master is just about to bring me home
I believe my master is just about to bring me home

Oh, but bless the days and the many different ways
People try to love one another
And won't you bless the times and the holy light that shine
Our cross has been brought asunder

Even the sun, it just a keep on shinin'
Pollyanna days when I was a child and on my own
Even the tracks, they just a keep on linin'
I believe my master is just about to bring me home
I believe my master is just about to bring me home
I believe my master is just about to bring me home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
