Some of us make the music 'cause we hate to waste the lessons
Some of us make the musing 'cause it eases all our pains
Some of us make the music 'cause we want to make the money
But some of us feel the sweet sweet drug of music
Just like heroin in our veins

Some of us make the music 'cause like faith it can move mountains
Some of us make the music 'cause normality restrains
Some of us make the music 'cause it gushes out like fountains
But some of us feel the cold black breath of dying
In the moment that silence reigns

Oh take me to the mountain
Oh take me to the sea
Oh make me feel the beating
of the heart beneath my fingers
and the rushing of the wind
that's calling me

Some of us make the music 'cause applause is what we're after
Some of us make the music just to break oppression's chains
Some of us make the music 'cause we're running from the laughter
But some of us feel the sudden rush of music
As it bubbles up in our brains

Some of us make the music 'cause we cannot make tommorow
Some of us make the music 'cause we cannot reach the stars
Some of us make the music for the joy and for the sorrow
But all of us hooked on music learn a little
Too late we'll never hide the scars
