When the world is loud and too much to bear,
I close my eyes, and music is there.
Notes wrap around me like a warm, soft glove,
A melody whispering peace and love.
Every beat is a heartbeat, steady and true,
Every chord a safe place I can go to.
In the song, I breathe, I’m home, I’m free
Music is the shelter that comforts me.
