Story Behind The Song

The inspiration and power of music, creation and listening of music

Lyrics

There's dust on your face
and you're stuck in that same old place
and you feel the cold wind sting
There's a lump in your throat
and you're starting to choke
on the words you long to sing
You're lost and confused in yesterday's blues
your life is just a blur
Wondering aimlessly, oh so painfully
when are you going to learn

Chorus

Just wear your heart on your sleeve
let your feelings go free,
just throw then off into the wind
With the magic of music, there's a song if you choose it,
that can fill your spirit up to the brim

Verse 2

There's a song that you almost hear
a rhythm that's just not clear,
as you're almost falling awake
Is it the church bells ringing,
or the songbird singing in the tree behind the lake
There's something inside of you, deep down inside, you just can't let it go.
A flower that's got to bloom,
a butterfly in the cocoon,
when is it going to show

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

It's the magic of music, it's there if you choose it
It's the magic of music, it's there if you choose it

Verse 3

Then you pick up that old guitar,
and you close your eyes oh so hard
and you fall into a trance
And you don't know just where you are
not even who you are
and your fingers start to dance
In a moment of clarity
blissful rarity
the song is born at last
that heavenly music
you just can't lose it
has finally come to pass

Alternate Chorus

Just wear your heart on your sleeve
now you finally believe
just throw it all into the wind
With the magic of music, there's a song if you choose it
that can fill your spirit up to the brim

Repeat Bridge
