[Verse 1: Grieves]

I remember being too young to spell it

But old enough to know

That when his fingers touched the keys

It lit something up in his soul

But at four years old

It's hard to notice the power

But I sat under that piano for hours

Learnin' the sound of it

You heard an old man’s noise

I heard every tear that he wept

And every crack in his voice

Heard every fear that he kept

And every passion and joy

As he scrambled across the keys

And I played with my toys

I saw the power that projected from that living room

That man lost his family and everything he ever knew

He played that piano like it saved him from the hell he flew

Runnin’ from the pain that awaited from bein' raised a Jew

Some people paint with their music

Stimulate your senses

Enabling you to view it

But, those notes raised me

And trained me to take a tune with me

Everywhere that I go

Makin my home where the music speaks

[Chorus]

(You swear you've heard it before,)

(As it slowly rambles on and on,)

(No need in bringin' em back,)

(Cause' their never really gone...)

(When the lights are low…)

I can still hear the music

This old box used to play

(The feelings that we’ve come to know…)

And I am what I am because of you

And they can't take that away

(When the lights are low…)

I can still hear the music

This old box used to play

(The feelings that we’ve come to know)

And the man that I am’s cause of you

And they can't take that away...

(Just an old-fashioned love song...)

[Verse 2: Mr. Lif]

Saturday morning

Wakin up yawnin'

Smellin' moms cookin

And I couldn’t stop lookin'

At the TV -- Creature double feature

Godzilla vs. Rodan and King Ghidorah

I gotta watch

But here’s pops with a bag of 45 records

He had hand-picked and carefully selected

Pat Benetar, Rock the Casbah Clash

Damn, I wanna see what else he’s got in his stash

REO Speedwagon, now it’s time for Jackson, Michael

When he dropped Thriller, we went psycho

Dancin’ like our living room’s a club

Then I fell in love

Thoughts of perfomin

Years later, now I’m tourin’

Traveling the globe and my music’s my home

I pray she never leave me alone

I’d be lost in the zone

Deep sentiments are set in my fashion

Thank you for [???], my true passion

[Chorus]

(You swear you've heard it before,)

(As it slowly rambles on and on,)

(No need in bringin' em back,)

(Cause' their never really gone...)

(When the lights are low…)

I can still hear the music

This old box used to play

(The feelings that we’ve come to know…)

And I am what I am because of you

And they can't take that away

(When the lights are low…)

I can still hear the music

This old box used to play

(The feelings that we’ve come to know)

And the man that I am’s cause of you

And they can't take that away...

(Just an old-fashioned love song...)

[Bridge]

What you talk is irreversible. It’s irreversible

What you taught me’s irreversible

What you talk is irreversible. It’s irreversible

The things you talk ain’t reversible. It’s irreversible

[Chorus]

(When the lights are low…)

I can still hear the music

This old box used to play

(The feelings that we’ve come to know…)

And I am what I am because of you

And they can't take that away

(When the lights are low…)

I can still hear the music

This old box used to play

(The feelings that we’ve come to know)

And the man that I am’s cause of you

And they can't take that away...

(Just an old-fashioned love song...)
