(Verse 1)
The chords fade in,

His mouth drops down
He hears his heart hit the ground
The whole world fades

His soul is set free,
He's drawn to the overwhelming harmonies
He falls to his knees

He is too blinded to see,
And there is no known remedy


(Pre-chorus)
He tried to understand the rhythm,
And what it did to his mind

Why it made him feel what he felt inside
Just hearing the sound made tears well up in his eyes
And it amazed him that, even though there were no words,

The sound of it all somehow still made him cry

(Chorus)

Because it sounded like one million heartbreaks at one time
And it sounded like death with no warning signs
It sounded like rain falling in a world that stopped turning,

And it brought back fiery memories, which caused his chest to start burning,
But it still gave him a feeling of such strong yearning
Just from the instruments, so many emotions he was learning


(Verse 2)
Chills ran through his body from the simple melodies

In every single note there told a million tragedies
Within the few short breaks, he met a trillion enemies
He felt endless emotions from the true blue melancholy

Even through the struggle of life, he found temporary peace
The instruments silenced the silence...
And he found himself in an oasis of serenity


(Pre-chorus)
He tried to understand the rhythm,

And what it did to his mind
Why it made him feel what he felt inside
Just hearing the sound made tears well up in his eyes

And it amazed him that, even though there were no words,
The sound of it all somehow still made him cry


(Chorus)
Because it sounded like one million heartbreaks at one time
And it sounded like death with no warning signs

It sounded like rain falling in a world that stopped turning,
And it brought back fiery memories, which caused his chest to start burning,
But it still gave him a feeling of such strong yearning

Just from the instruments, so many emotions he was learning
