Rejoice In The Music

lyrics

Rejoice in the Music:
Sometimes in the middle of the night I get to thinking,
How the paths once taken revealed our call.
And how we never really chose an open highway or a roadmap
We just follow the road where our feet fall

I spent hours in the bedroom making solo’s on an old guitar,
Trying to bend my way to some kind of truth.
I knew then that they’d never make an academic man of me,
I knew the value of a so called misspent youth.

Back then I could hurt so bad it was hard to breathe,
The only place to hide were those six strings
Didn’t matter what they said about me wasting everybody’s time
I knew I had a chance to make that old guitar sing

Sometimes in the middle of the day I stop to wonder
Remembering the Boy I used to Be
And how I never understood what it meant to be responsible
Or how the centre of the Universe wasn’t just me..

But I believed in the power of the Rhythm and the Melody
And I set my Metronome to a different beat
I just decided not to listen to the people that were hounding me
I put my faith in the music that moved my feet.

Back then I could hurt so bad it was hard to breathe,
The only place to hide were those six strings
Didn’t matter what they said about me wasting everybody’s time
I knew I had a chance to make that old guitar sing

Looking back at the places and the people that have filled my life
I know I couldn’t ever wish for more than I received
And everyday I rejoice in the Music that fills my life,
The music gave me everything that I could have ever believed

So I want you to
Rejoice in the Music
Rejoice
Rejoice in the Music
Rejoice
Rejoice in the Music
Rejoice
