by the school
on the street
you were dropped off with a sign,

"this piano is free"
you didn't look free to me


cast aside
obsolete
since they cancelled music class

you've been a refugee

but now I'll give you a home

corazon

so I pushed

and I heaved
but your weight bore down like I could not believe
had you accepted defeat?


till the crowd
gathered round

put away their goings on and hunkered down

and they were cheering you on

corazon
cheering you on
corazon

cheering you on
corazon
cheering you on

corazon

and the expert

with his tools
said to bring it up to pitch would snap the sucker in two
I guess we're tuning to you


so I pulled
up a seat

and I swear I felt a pulse beneath your keys

to urge your hammers along

corazon
hammer along
corazon

hammer along
corazon
hammer along

corazon

I was caught

I was stuck
and my thoughts kept on deepening the rut
until your first chord struck


now I search
I'm a chore

but my god you've given me another chance to learn

come on and teach me your songs

corazon
teach me your songs
corazon

teach me your songs
corazon
teach me your songs

corazon
teach me your songs
corazon

teach me your songs
corazon
teach me your songs

corazon
teach me your songs
corazon
