I'm here to just confirm what I've been
Really always sayin'
About modern jazz
It's the savior of the nation
And I'll believe it if you do too
The rhythm & blues
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/m/manhattan+transfer/confirmation_10173095.html ]
Like bird
When he thought of this melody
The message he played on his horn
Was the steady confirmation
That he discovered
The sound that makes the music be free
[Confirmation lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
This may sound unstable
But I know I'm able to concentrate in song to you
My lyrics may go fast
Sometimes a word may get past folks
But so I keep it swingin'
I know I've got to stay true

So like the bird I'm gonna say that jazz is always
A happiness groove
So come on and I'll confirm it
'cause certainly the bird that I heard
Made the word of confirmation
