Brother listen to the music
Just hear the music playing,
Don't listen to the cries of terror,
Or the shots being fired.
Just listen to the music.
Brother just watch me play
Watch me play the whites and blacks
Watch me create the music
Watch the quarters, sharps, and flats.
Ignore the people crying,
Ignore the wounds, they'll heal
Just watch me play
Don't look away
Brother don't think
Don't think about the pain
Don't think about the hunger
Don't worry, it'll go away
Just think about the notes being played.
Don't look away,
Close your mind,
Hear me play.
