about

An ode to the healing power of music in hard times. The second single from Not My Masterpiece.

lyrics

Hop in my Toyota
And put the gear in drive
I’m hoping that a midday cruise
Will bring me back to life
This pain overloading the news
Does nothing to ease my blues
Turn off the radio
I can’t take this anymore
Put an album in my stereo
To help drown out the roar
Of hatred, discomfort, despair
All else that humanity shares

Every cloud has a silver lining
But all I saw was gray
Then I heard your voice beside me
Your song showed me the way
Through the endless path of night
You were my guiding light

Pull up at a stop sign
Notes dancing through my ears
Inside my rolling jukebox
The world just disappears
Each lyric goes straight to my heart
And keeps me from falling apart
The pouring rain can’t touch me
The sorrow leaves my soul
I close my eyes to listen
And ask to be made whole
Your voice is telling me
To reach out in harmony

Every cloud has a silver lining
But all I saw was gray
‘Til I heard your voice beside me
Your song showed me the way
Through the endless path of night
You were my guiding light

From the government officials
To the deities I’ve shunned
Their words could never move me
The way your music does
The melodies and rhythms
Filling my headphones
Are like a part of Heaven
Where I’ll never be alone

Every cloud has a silver lining
But all I saw was gray
‘Til I heard your voice beside me
Your song showed me the way
Through the endless path of night
You were my guiding light
Whether I was wrong or right
You were my guiding light
