I invite you kind patrons to fight in a great war   Something so amazing – you’d never believe in it   It requires more patience than we have to even try to listen to what we don’t understand: when to raise our voices.      I was singing alone and I looked out the window   Ready to launch a great powerful assault   On misfortunate experiences fueling my melancholy voice…   But then the wind blew in, startling the hairs on my skin   And it happened so quick – even spiders wouldn’t see it comin’!   No, they wouldn’t see it comin’!   I arose, on a note – exactly when I heard   The piano hit home with a sound that I couldn’t explain… that I couldn’t articulate to anyone at all.   So I sang along – I was making out with ivories and   Nothing in the world could make me any happier – or feel more thrilled to be alive.   Then, you walked in – dropped your things, startled at what you saw   Said, to me, “Baby, what’s going on?”      I looked up at you, smiling, passion in my face   You said, I was just the same as all the other devastating   Hotshots you’ve been with – thinking they’re something new   Vocalized how I was ordinary and a fool   For sleeping with symphonies, flirting with guitar strings   Professing my love and yes, making out with ivories   And just as you almost left you stopped at the door   When I played the first note and sang and heard you say, “My God, keep going – finally, something that I’ve never heard before.”      We were singing alone and we looked out the window   Happy to be where we were at that point in time   We had accomplished something brand new…   The sun shone in, glazing our eyes, closed, with colors   With names inconceivable – they can’t even be imagined yet, no they can’t…   A peace will eventually advance to those who hear and see   this picture – truly abandoned of words, or a perfect non-subjective definition of the world…   For now, I’m sure it’s the best thing that we have got   It’s something we really don’t encounter too often these days…   I don’t hear it anymore – people declaring “I’ve never heard this before!”      Raise your voice   Strike the bones with   Ballads of your own   Please, stop singing alone!
