I watch your fingers slide along the keys
my eyes locked onto what they see
your talent seems to shine and glow
as you gently move with the flow
your eyes are closed as you feel every sound
humming a new melody to be found
your fingers move elegantly and full of grace
bouncing from place to place
the sound is but sweet honey to my ear
washing way all that i fear
my nerves calm and I smile as you play
please tell me this feeling will stay
the piano sings to me touching my soul
moving me and making me feel whole
thank you dear pianist for this gift
casting my worries adrift
I sit and listen until the end
I look up and beg please play it again
the pianist sighs and gives a tired smile
maybe again in a little while
but I need you I need your song
without you the demons come along
the pianist stood and spoke as he walked away
you need to learn to fight them someday
as he closed the door the demons creep in
reminding me of every mistake of every sin
I pick myself up and look them in the eye
knowing not to let them see me cry
I walk to the piano and play my first note
the melody protects me filling me with hope
thank you pianist for teaching me how to fight
as I play bringing the brightness of day to this darkest night
