HARPER

[00:38.56] "There's something I wanna show you," He said, and smiled at me
[00:43.98] "I heard your hums in class again, so I think I've got just the thing"
[00:50.77] There, in his arms: a wooden-fashioned harp
[00:56.32] He said, "I can show your heart how to dance"
[01:01.82] I'll let the music speak for me
[01:06.47] My soul and
[01:08.56] Everything will be
[01:12.74] Okay
[01:14.56] I know that I'm not perfect
[01:17.02] I know I misbehave
[01:19.97] But with this lyre
[01:23.08] I can forge my name
[01:26.63]
[02:15.06] "Look how much you've grown," he said
[02:17.55] Your faults, etched on these strings
[02:20.23] Where once was feared an earnest lyric
[02:23.64] Now holds a heart that sings
[02:26.20] I'll pass down all you've taught me
[02:29.18] This love for life and song, I cried
[02:32.54] These melodies are swelling
[02:35.19] Can you hear it?
[02:39.03] They call him Harper
[02:41.58] A man of simple wonder
[02:44.61] Broke his back from the weight of all
[02:47.46] The dreams he wove in us
[02:50.35] It's been so many years since
[02:53.76] He stood before me, a mentor
[02:56.32] So I sing this song in the hopes he knows
[02:59.45] The voice he raised in me
[03:02.03] I'll let the music speak for me
[03:06.12] My soul and
[03:08.74] Everything will be
[03:12.40] Okay
[03:14.20] I know that I'm not perfect
[03:17.11] I know I misbehave
[03:20.02] But with this lyre
[03:22.83] I can forge my name
[03:25.84]
[03:50.09] I'll let the music speak for me
[03:54.48] My soul and
[03:56.57] Everything will be
[04:00.25] Okay
[04:02.20] I know that I'm not perfect
[04:05.13] I know I misbehave
[04:08.04] But with this lyre
[04:10.96] I can forge my name
[04:14.39]
