Music of Heaven - Jason Robert Brown

I come with my armour in place

Emotions in check

Thinking I’m smarter, or just more realistic

I sit with my frozen smile,

All the while reluctant to trust what I’m told

Cynical, cold

Challenging Music of Heaven

To open a crack in my chest

And let something glorious in

Music of Heaven should puncture me

Suddenly blessed, blessed, blessed

Let the music begin

Let the music begin

They sing and they cry and I’ll watch

Leaned back in my chair

The classic New Yorker,

Alone among millions

Indifference upon my face

Out of place

But longing to feel what you feel

Like it was real

Like there could be

Music of Heaven to open some path to your soul

And let something glorious in

Music of Heaven allows you to give up control

Yes, yes

Let the music begin

Let the music begin

And I sit there with dry eyes and cold hands

Judging and standing apart

Dry eyes and cold hands

Waiting and wondering

When will it open my heart

When will it open my heart

When will I open my heart

(Holy Father)

I hear you singing

(Holy Father)

I hear you singing

(Holy Father)

I want to say yes (Yes)

Say yes (Yes)

Say yes (Yes)

I want to sing Holy Father

(Holy Father)

I want to sing Holy Father

(Holy Father)

I want to sing Holy Father

(Holy Father)

Say yes (Yes)

Say yes (Yes)

Say yes (Yes)

I need to sing

(Holy Father)

I need to cry, yes

(Holy Father)

I need to believe

And I can say yes (Yes)

Say yes (Yes)

Say yes (Yes)

Oh I can say yes (Yes)

Say yes (Yes)

Say yes (Yes)

I can say yes (Yes)

Say yes (Yes)

Say yes (Yes)

Oh I can say yes

Yes

Yes

Let the music begin

Let the music begin

Let the music begin

Let the music begin
