Sound of Music

When times are tough I sometimes risk exposure
I bear my soul and feel I'm going nowhere
stripped to the bone
thrown into the cold
with a six string guitar and my old piano

     I pick up the beat and my heart starts a pumping
     the cold turns to heat and my fingers start jumping

I close my eyes and listen to the sounds
I see these images and there's no TV around
I picture a world where the music speaks
instead of dancing to fashion 
it's the song I see

the video will never hear     the sound of music in its eye or its ear

just pick up the beat...

when times are tough I sometimes lack commitment
I'm eager to start and somewhat slow to finish
so I put on a record and get into the groove
when the music comes on I'm in a positive mood

I pick up the beat...
I close my eyes...
the video will never hear...

when times are tough I loose determination
unable to think, my mind is full of tension
when I think of the shape, the sound, or style of the song
it's the music that moves me with a feeling so strong

I pick up the beat...
