The Trumpet and Me
Location
Playing loud I lose myself.
Playing proud I find myself.
I wrap myself up in my sound
As I make this inanimate object sing.
I'll make it sing to the world I call home.
I'll make it sing even though I'm alone
Where certainly no one will hear my sound.
I still proudly play my song.
I'll move my fingers precisely
And buzz my lips brightly.
For this thing has found its voice
And it has found it in me.
I have made this thing sing
So therefore it can bring
Me happiness and peace
And transcendence as well.
I have found my song
And it sings along.
I proudly play my song
Until eternity comes.
Until eternity comes.
