SOUND OF MY HEART


Where were you before the rain
Before anyone even knew my name
Before I was shaped into a mold
Before the things that I was told
Before I was a hardened man
Before the time I took a stand
Before I changed the way I think
Before my life was on the brink
Before I built these walls around my heart
Before the light turned into dark
Where were you before they turned
Before the days when I was burned
Before the thoughts I had to fight
Before I almost took my life
Before my mind became so cold
Before I wrapped this heart of gold
Wish that I could rewind time
Wish that I could change the past
Wish that I could go back
To these moments that forever last
So I could choose to wait instead
For you to come along
Maybe then I’d be the one for you
Maybe then I would belong
Here are all the parts of me
That I bottled up inside
I can only show you once or twice
But then I have to hide
It’s not the way I want you see
It’s just what I’ve become
From the heavy things I carry now
Before a time when I was young
But if you listen closely
If you tune your ear in part
You’ll hear the music play inside
That is the sound of my heart
I know that there will come a time
Long after the world is gone
When you can see the music
Where you can hear the song
But here I must stay strong you see
I must keep up my guard
So I can make it to the end of life
Because I am quite scarred
And while that is okay for me
I know it’s not for you
But I found a way to keep my peace
Found a way to make it through
I hope you will remember me
No I won’t be very far
And when you do what comes to mind
Is the beautiful sound of my heart
