HARPER
[Verse 1]
"There's something I wanna show you," he said, and smiled at me
"I heard your hums in class again so I think I've got just the thing"
There, in his arms a wooden-fashioned harp
He said "I can show your heart how to dance"

[Chorus]
I'll let the music speak for me, my soul
And everything will be okay
I know that I'm not perfect, I know I misbehave
But with this lyre I can forge my name

[Verse 2]
"Look how much you've grown," he said
Your faults, etched on these strings
Where once was feared an earnеst lyric
Now holds a heart that sings
"I'll pass down all you've taught me
This lovе for life and song," I cried
These melodies are swelling
Can you hear it?
[Bridge]
They call him Harper, a man of simple wonder
Broke his back from the weight of all the dreams he wove in us
It's been so many years since he stood before me, a mentor
So I sing this song in the hopes he knows the voice he raised in me

[Chorus]
I'll let the music speak for me, my soul
And everything will be okay
I know that I'm not perfect, I know I misbehave
But with this lyre I can forge my name

I'll let the music speak for me, my soul
And everything will be okay
I know that I'm not perfect, I know I misbehave
But with this lyre I can forge my name
