Biography:
For 25 years Michael McLean has been changing lives with his tender songs and candid messages. He has shared the “hard stories” — those from his own life and those of others — and has sung us all the way to light at the end of the tunnel. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that for every person, twist, or turn along life’s path, Michael McLean has the perfect song.
McLean released his debut album, You’re Not Alone, in 1983 and with every song that followed, his lyrics filled voids, encouraged love, and offered hope.

Dm A Dm
We've heard the tale since we were young,
C F
Heard the songs that have been sung,
Dm A
About an evil spell.
Dm A Dm
Someone beautiful is cursed
C F
We feel sad through every verse
Gm A
Til a kiss and all is well
F A
The message that no one can see
Gm A C
Is clearer to someone like me
F C Dm
There is no curse or evil spell
Gm Dm C
That's worse than one we give ourselves
F Dm C F
There is no sorceror as cruel,
C
As the proud, angry fool.
F C Dm
And yet, we cry life isn't fair
Gm Dm C
Beneath our cries the truth is there
F Dm C
The power that will break the spell
Gm A
We should know very well
Gm C F
Is locked within ourselves
C# G#
Yet we'd rather blame,
C# D# F
And curse our fate than change
Dm Am G#m
We run from everyone to hide from the pain
D# C# C
And all the shame
F C Dm
The story's old we know it well
Gm Dm C
About a wretched evil spell
F Bb C F
The power that will break this curse
Gm A
Oh I know all too well
Gm C F
Is locked within myself
