Song of Redemption

I am not that good anymore, and maybe I never was

But I’ll play my heart out for you, one more time

For in my old age, all I can do is play for you songs from my youth



So let me share my gift, with you once more

Just like we had in the past, so many times before, before, before, before!



My hands may shake, my muscles are weak

I’m not strong as I used to be

But still I will play for you, and leave you with a song

For when you have music you’re never alone



Let me share my gift, with you once more

Just like we had in the past, so many times before

The song of redemption is all that I am

For in the end, the music is all that I have



And though it feels incomplete, the deadline has come for me

I must present to you, my ‘masterpiece’

For time is short in my condition, the song of redemption

Will be the final composition... from this tired musician...



Please give me your attention... and I will remedy this silent tension

And I hope that you will remember...

I hope the memories will leave a lasting impression of me, when I’m gone

Gone, after I am gone



I don’t need to concentrate, I can close my eyes

And though you’ll hear this song but once

I’ve rehearsed it, a thousand times



But what will you say, after I’m done?

After I’ve attempted to play the song of redemption

And what will you say, after I’m gone?

After I’ve attempted to play the song of redemption...

The song of redemption...

The song of redemption!

The song of redemption!
