| [00:07.809] |
My mother bought it secondhand |
| [00:11.798] |
from a silent movie star. |
| [00:15.788] |
It was out of tune, |
| [00:17.968] |
but still I learned to play. |
| [00:23.349] |
And with each note we both would smile, |
| [00:27.648] |
forgetting who we are. |
| [00:31.638] |
And all the pain would simply |
| [00:36.990] |
fly away. |
| [00:37.699] |
|
| [00:38.779] |
Something secondhand and broken |
| [00:42.799] |
still can make a pretty sound. |
| [00:46.979] |
Even if it doesn't have a place to live. |
| [00:53.859] |
Oh, the words were left unspoken |
| [00:58.639] |
when my mama came around. |
| [01:02.719] |
But that secondhand white baby grand |
| [01:07.519] |
still had something beautiful |
| [01:10.839] |
to give. |
| [01:14.789] |
|
| [01:19.190] |
Through missing keys and broken strings |
| [01:22.609] |
the music was our own. |
| [01:26.509] |
Until the day we said our last good-byes. |
| [01:33.889] |
The baby grand was sent away. |
| [01:39.100] |
A child all alone |
| [01:42.149] |
to pray somebody else would realize |
| [01:48.949] |
that something secondhand and broken |
| [01:48.990] |
|
| [01:53.329] |
still can make a pretty sound. |
| [01:57.789] |
Even if it doesn't have a place to live. |
| [02:04.769] |
Oh, the words are still unspoken, |
| [02:09.148] |
now that mama's not around. |
| [02:13.880] |
But that secondhand white baby grand |
| [02:17.718] |
still has something beautiful |
| [02:21.798] |
to give. |
| [02:24.398] |
|
| [02:25.358] |
For many years the music had to roam, |
| [02:32.858] |
until we found a way to find a home. |
| [02:40.728] |
So now I wake up every day and see her standing there |
| [02:48.958] |
Just waiting for a partner to compose. |
| [02:56.388] |
And I wish my mother still could hear |
| [03:00.599] |
that sound beyond compare. |
| [03:05.890] |
I'll play her song till everybody knows |
| [03:10.819] |
|
| [03:11.578] |
that something secondhand and broken |
| [03:15.798] |
still can make a pretty sound. |
| [03:19.868] |
Don't we all deserve a family room |
| [03:24.608] |
to live. |
| [03:26.828] |
Oh, the words can't stay unspoken |
| [03:31.578] |
until everyone has found |
| [03:37.890] |
that secondhand white baby grand |
| [03:42.608] |
that still has something beautiful |
| [03:49.638] |
to give. |
| [03:56.719] |
|
| [04:00.998] |
I still have something beautiful |
| [04:05.589] |
to give. |
