The songs I hear create soundtrack of life
They echo feelings running through my mind
They know when I am glad or I face strife
The music streams a song my heart defined

It seems to know just what I feel, no doubt
It’s asking me if I am out of light
The chords and beats know what I am about
They speak the words my mouth cannot recite

It knows the tune that will create a smile;
The fast upbeat true, driving pop refrain
Or one that makes me want to run a mile;
A bawling ballad in the pouring rain

The songs I hear give solace like a friend
And ‘struth it’s where my precious love I send
