The ivory keys
Are what your emotions need
To take out your frustaration in song
Is what you need, forever long

The rhythms that flow from your soul
Are the words of your story told
The words you do not need to say
The music has its way

Beat after beat
You can hear your pain
Your self defeat

The phrases can change
Just as you your self can
Just turn your life's page

The notes played
Are thoes of your song
They compose themselves within you
They are strong

You sit upon a piano
black and white
With this beauty we call music
You make yourself alright
