music is healing

lord of the melody, keep my ears open wide
let me feel each passing note down deep inside
feed me cool jazz and the heat of smokey blues
show me styles of pop, lord help me choose

music is the healing, let the sounds wash over me
music’s inspiration set’s my troubled heart free

roll me with classic rock, hair bands and mo-town
drive me to the country for that down home sound
folk, funk or reggae, let the words and chords fly
rap, grunge and metal, so much i can try

music is the healing, let the sounds lift my up soul
music’s inspiration, everyone should come to know

break

bless me with symphonies, ballads from the past
play me great singers with those voices that last
give me time to hear these wonderful songs
and thank you lord for music, a gift to right all wrongs

chorus (2)
