Heal the Pain

The smooth guitar strings lurk into visions Sweeping sounds and soothing incisions The piano marks its day in the light Each chord of brilliance owning the night It’s difficult to imagine your kind of life Emptied of thought I live among strife So much to do and so little time But still in a whirl we watch it all fly And I’ll just walk on by in the cool of day For there’s no backstage, there’s just today Before you storm over and wash me away Surely music will heal the pain Heal the pain Get out of your stupor, don’t run out tonight I invited you here as a way to be kind Yesterday we smiled and today we cried Break away the nerves and come right inside And I’ll just walk on by in the cool of day For there’s no backstage, there’s just today Before you storm over and wash me away Surely music will heal the pain You think I’m the savior—get out of my tide! I realize that merriment only lives blind There’s no need to collect the treasures I find Living moments and making them is all that I’ll try And I’ll just walk on by in the cool of day For there’s no backstage, there’s just today Before you storm over and wash me away Surely music will heal the pain Heal the pain Each chord of mastery owning the night The piano shines brilliantly in the light Bursting sounds and effortless incision The smooth guitar molds its life to your vision
