歌词
“There’s something I wanna show you,”
He said, and smiled at me
“I heard your hums in class again,
so I think I’ve got just the thing.”
There, in his arms,
a wooden-fashioned harp
He said “I can show your heart
how to dance.”
I’ll let the music speak for me
My soul and everything will be okay
I know that I’m not perfect
I know I misbehave
But with this lyre
I can forge my name
“Look how much you’ve grown,” he said,
“your faults, etched on these strings.
Where once was feared an earnest lyric,
now holds a heart that sings.”
“I’ll pass down all you’ve taught me,
this love for life and song,” I cried,
“These melodies are swelling,
can you hear it?”
They call him Harper
A man of simple wonder
Broke his back from the weight of all
The dreams he wove in us
It's been so many years since
He stood before me, a mentor
So I sing this song in the hopes he knows
The voice he raised in me
I’ll let the music speak for me
My soul and everything will be okay
I know that I’m not perfect
I know I misbehave
But with this lyre
I can forge my name
I’ll let the music speak for me
My soul and everything will be okay
I know that I’m not perfect
I know I misbehave
But with this lyre
I can forge my name
