lyrics

I had a dream last night about the end of the world
Not sure what was going down but the human race was done
I was with my friends, we were saying goodbye and good luck
When in the distance we saw him there, on a stage, guitar in his hand

I thought that maybe some music would keep the people calm
And we could face the end hand in hand and singing a song
But then he turned his amplifier on, and tuned those steely strings
And with a pick of stone, he made sparks fly beneath his fingertips

And he played every note from the corners of his soul
And he sang every song like his last night on the earth
And he shone with a light that few could understand
I could not look away when he plugged in his guitar and started to…

As first, in the chaos, it was just another noise
But then, most amazing, one by one, the people heard
And they felt way down deep the magic in the sound
---

Some were afraid, seeing only lightning fly
A mad guitar god slinging fire and smoke all around
But then when the sound broke through to their hearts they were turned
And they joined all as one and their song saved the earth

And he played every note from the corners of his soul
And he sang every song like his last night on the earth
And he shone with a light that few could understand
I could not look away when he plugged in his guitar and started to…

Sound – light – words – sound
Love – peace – music all around

And he plays every note from the corners of his soul
And he sings every song like it’s his last night on the earth
And he shines with a light that few can understand
I cannot look away when he plugs in his guitar and starts to…
Play…
