When I Listen to the Music

When I listen to the music,

Who's to tell me who to be

I close my eyes, forget the world

And in the rhythm I break free

Cut these ropes and let me fall

I won't fall very far

Held softly by these streams of sound

This bliss'll hit me hard

Sometimes when I lose my way

And wander where I just can't feel

All the beauty at my fingertips

Just seems to disappear

But when I listen to the music,

Who's to tell me who to be

I close my eyes, forget the world

And in the rhythm I break free

I think I'll listen with my heart tonight

I know the melody can save me

In between the songs I find

The pulse still lingers all around me

Cuz when I listen to the music,

Who's to tell me who to be

I close my eyes, take in the world

And in the rhythm I break free
