[FATHER]
Where have I been?
How did we change?
Caught in this strange
New music
Say, was I away too long?

[MOTHER]
Just like that tune
Simple and clear
I've come to hear
New music

[FATHER]
New music

[MOTHER]
Why?
Why can't you hear the song?

[YOUNGER BROTHER]
His fingers stroke those keys
And every note says "Please"
And every chord says "Turn my way"

[MOTHER & FATHER]
I thought I knew what love was
But these lovers play
[MOTHER, FATHER & YOUNGER BROTHER]
New music
Haunting me
And somehow taunting me
My love was never half as true

[FATHER]
And I ask myself
Why can't I sing it too?

[ENSEMBLE]
His fingers stroke those keys
And every note says "Please"
And every chord says "Turn my way"
I thought I knew what love was
But these lovers play
New music
Haunting me
And somehow taunting me
My love was never half as true

[COALHOUSE]
Sarah, my life has changed
Sarah, you've got to see
Sarah, we got a son
Sarah, come down to me
[SARAH]
You and your music
Singing deep in me
Making nice to me
Saying something so new

[COALHOUSE]
New

[SARAH]
Changing everything
Meaning everything

[COALHOUSE]
Music

[SARAH]
Calling my heart to you

[COALHOUSE]
All for you, girl
You, Sarah

[SARAH]
Play that melody
Your sweet melody
Calling my heart to you
[COALHOUSE]
You

[ENSEMBLE]
Just like that tune
Simple and clear
I've come to hear
New music
Breaking my heart
Opening a door
Changing the world
New music
I'll hear it forevermore
