I Believe in Music

[Verse 1]
For my seventh birthday
I was given a CD player
And I played Paul Kelly again and again and again
My dad listened to Coldplay
But I'd always ask him
To play Cat Stevens again and again and again

[Chorus]
Some people believe in a god above
Who says hello and he sends his love
And brings to us peace on Earth, but
I don't need no winged friends
Just my guitar and some paper and pens
That's right, my friends, I believe in music

[Verse 2]
I remember one Christmas Eve
My uncle brought his guitar and he
Showed me how to play David Bowie's "Space Oddity"
I played until my fingers bled
My mum sent me off to bed
The next day, Santa brought me my own guitar

[Chorus]
Some people believe in a god above
Who says hello and he sends his love
And brings to us peace on Earth, but
I don't need no winged friends
Just my guitar and some paper and pens
That's right, my friends, I believe in music

[Verse 3]
When my grandpa was very sick
I played his favourite song for him
"Amazing Grace" and a piano in the back of a hospital wing
Simple chords and a melody
Made him grin from cheek to cheek
The next day I cried, as I said my goodbye

[Chorus]
Some people believe in a god above
Who says hello and he sends his love
And brings to us peace on Earth, but
I don't need no winged friends
Just my guitar and some paper and pens
That's right, my friends, I believe in music
