Music of Heaven
by Jason Robert Brown

I come with my armor in place,
Emotions in check,
And 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 watch,
Lean 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
That opened 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 it open my heart?
Holy Father!

I hear you sing
Holy Father!

I hear you sing
Holy Father!

And I want to say, "Yes!"
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!

I hear you singing...Holy Father!
Holy Father!

I want to sing to Holy Father!
Holy Father!

I want to sing to Holy Father!
Holy Father!

And I want to say, "Yes!"
Yes!
Say yes!
Yes!
Say yes!
Yes!

I need to sing to Holy Father!
Holy Father!

I need to cry
Holy Father!

I need to believe!
Holy Father!

And I can say yes!
Yes!
Yes
Yes!
Yes...
Yes, yes, yes...

I will say
Yes, yes, yes...
Let the music begin
Let the music begin
