I Let The Music Speak

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
 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 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
 ♪
 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
 Where I'm one with every grand illusion
 No disturbance and no intrusion
 Where I let the wistful sounds seduce me
 I let them use me
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 Let it be the joy of each new sunrise
 Or the moment when a day dies
 I surrender without reservation
 No explanations, no questions why
 I take it to me and let it flow through me
 I let the music speak, I let the music speak
