Gift of Song

A man loaded his six string Shot a cord to the sky And down fell the clarity That filled many an eye Sometimes you gotta look up To see what's going down And if you embrace the majesty You can walk under its crown Cause when arms are open And ready to embrace It's then that we see What each of us must face Sometimes you gotta look up To see what's going down And the gutter is just one step To the sidewalks of any town Music is a tool used to reach The chambers of the heart Loud are the voices of the fallen And a cry is just a start Sometimes you gotta look up To see what's going down And when we reach out We can rescue all that drown When I hear songs of pain I feel an energy in my bones That echoes to my brain With its fragile tones And when I look up I feel the vibrations coming down It's then that I find knowledge That love is the great renown
