Sometimes
When I'm all alone
I hear a tone
That starts off low
Then slowly grows

In my head the song starts
Then it moves towards my feet
Then it spreads into my heart
Then they both begin to beat

It's a steady beat
A melody
A sound, a tune, a theme, a
A symphony, a cacophony
Playing just for me

It's an orchestra
I hear an orchestra play
I don't hear this very often
Sometimes every few days

Sometimes every few months
Sometimes just once a year
And when it leaves me I fear
It will never reappear

But it does
Because it's always there
I hear an orchestra play
But the song is so rare

And it sounds like hearing
Again, and, and, and it
Feels like feeling again
And, and, and, and, I know I
I can breathe again
I can speak again
I can scream again
Most days

I just hear silence
But when it plays
I know that I am
Gonna be okay

I know that I am
Deserving of some sympathy
Deserving of a symphony
And it sounds like

Facing my worst fears
And it sounds like
All of my worries disappeared
And it sounds like

My future just became clear
The music blasts away my tears
I hear the audience cheer
Cause the conductor is here

I hear his commands
The music ebbs and flows
With the sway of his hands
And I demand that he stay
Keep the band here for today
But I fear I will never understand
Why some days I hear the band
And some days
I just hear white noise
And it is drowning out my voice

Do I hear this song by choice?
It's so easy to hear
No music at all
To live a life without sound
So muted and small

But right now
I hear an orchestra play
And right now
I know the right words to say

I hear an orchestra play
And my mind is in bliss
I hear an orchestra play
And it sounds like this

I hear an orchestra play
And my heart starts beating
I hear an orchestra play
But the song is fleeting

I wanna hear this song all night
I wanna hear it every day
But it plays to short a time
And then

It goes away
