Lost in Sound
Find me in the silence
In the space without sound
Where the music it soars
And the orchestra pounds
When the violins play
And the piano keys ring
My heart sings with glory
At the sound of the strings
Find me lost in the chords
My voice in the tone
See me dance to the beat
With my soul in its zone
Hear the pumping of blood
And the sound of our feet
As the music it builds
And crashes complete
Eyla Lienhard
