I Let the Music Speak

Lyrics

[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
