I Let the Music Speak

[Verse 1]

I'm hearing images, I'm seeing songs

No poet has ever painted

Voices call out to me, straight to my heart

So strange, yet we're so well acquainted

I let the music speak, with no restraints

I let my feelings take over

Carry my soul away into the world

Where beauty meets the darkness of the day

[Pre-Chorus]

Where my mind is like an open window

Where the high and healing winds blow

From my shallow sleep, the sounds awake me

I let them take me

(Let them wake me, let them now, let them take me)

[Chorus]

Let it be a joke, let it be a smile

Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while

Let it be a tear, let it be a sigh

Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

Some streets are emptiness, dry leaves of autumn

Rustling down an old alley

And in the dead of night, I find myself

A blind man in some ancient valley

I let the music speak, leading me gently

Urging me like a lover

Leading me all the way into a place

Where beauty will defeat the darkest day

[Pre-Chorus]

Where I'm one with every grand illusion

No disturbance, no intrusion

Where I let the wistful sounds seduce me

I let them use me

(All illusion, no disturbance, no intrusion)

[Chorus]

Let it be a joke, let it be a smile

Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while

Let it be a tear, let it be a sigh

Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

[Interlude]

[Chorus]

Let it be a tear, let it be a sigh

Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

[Outro]

Let it be the joy of each new sunrise

Or the moment when the day dies

I surrender without reservation

No explanations

No questions why

I take it to me and let it flow through me

Yes, I let the music speak

I let the music speak
