Music

[chorus]
I am the Music Man
I come from far away,
And when I play,
Your troubles just fade away,
Your troubles just fade away,

[verse 1]
Mr. Music Man,
I see you struggling, man,
I see you playing your little tunes for the public and,
I pass you a couple of times,
As I face my daily grind,
Where I rush to someone else’s rhythm,
Yet you haunt my busy mind,

[Verse 2]
Mr. Music Man,
Do you even have a plan?
You’re singing alone at the train station
For a few pennies in your hand,
You’ve barely made enough for a cup of coffee,
You’re barely remembered enough to be forgotten,
Are you the free-est man on earth or just trapped within the sham?

[chorus]
I am the Music Man,
Despite what people say,
That’s why I play,
Whatever gets you through the day,
Through the day
Through the day,
Through the day,
Through the day

[Verse 3]
Mr. Music Man, you intrigue me,
You play your melodies so sweetly,
Do they hide a forbidden story,
Of a world which we both know deeply?
What’s your secret?
At night do you still call out her name?
Did she rob you of all your tomorrows,
And now you cry for yesterday?

[Verse 4]
Mr. Music Man
I wish I could understand,
How you’re happy to remain so still?
While I gotta keep moving across this land,
I’m always pleased to meet you,
I don’t really know what you’ve been through,
So I throw a coin in your cup,
And one more for good luck,
Because next time, I may not see you.

[Refrain]
I don’t even know your name,
But I see you everyday,
And I feel you,
I don’t even know your name,
But I see you everyday,
And I feel you,

[chorus]
I am the Music Man
I come from far away,
And when I play,
Your troubles just fade away
