I Hear An Orchestra Play

Em
Sometimes
When I'm all alone
         D
I hear a tone
That starts off low
                 C
Then slowly grows
C
In my head the song starts
Then it moves towards my feet
        A
Then it spreads into my heart
Then they both begin to beat
       Em
It's a steady beat
Em
A melody
A sound, a tune, a theme, a
  D
A symphony, a cacophony
Playing just for me
        C
It's an orchestra
I hear an orchestra play
        A
I don't hear this very often
                    Em
Sometimes every few days

Em
Sometimes every few months
Sometimes just once a year
            D
And when it leaves me I fear
It will never reappear
       C
But it does
Because it's always there
          A
I hear an orchestra play
But the song is so rare
       Em
And it sounds like hearing
Again, and, and, and it
D
Feels like feeling again
                      C
And, and, and, and, I know I
I can breathe again
      A
I can speak again
I can scream again

     Em
Most days
I just hear silence
    D
But when it plays
I know that I am
      C
Gonna be okay
I know that I am
  A
Deserving of some sympathy
Deserving of a symphony
    Em
And it sounds like
Facing my worst fears
    D
And it sounds like
All of my worries disappeared
    C
And it sounds like
My future just became clear

          A
The music blasts away my tears
I hear the audience cheer
          Em
Cause the conductor is here
I hear his commands
          D
The music ebbs and flows
With the sway of his hands
        C
And I demand that he stay
Keep the band here for today
           A
But I fear I will never understand
                Em
Why some days I hear the band

Em
And some days
I just hear white noise
          D
And it is drowning out my voice
Do I hear this song by choice?
        C
It's so easy to hear
No music at all
   A
To live a life without sound
So muted and small
          Em
But right now
I hear an orchestra play
          D
And right now
I know the right words to say

          C
I hear an orchestra play
And my mind is in bliss
          A
I hear an orchestra play
And it sounds like this
          Em
I hear an orchestra play
And my heart starts beating
          D
I hear an orchestra play
But the song is fleeting
        C
I wanna hear this song all night
I wanna hear it every day
       A
But it plays to short a time
And then
N.C.
It goes away
