Corazon

Bishop Allen

Corazon

By the school, on the street
You were dropped of with a sign
"This piano is free"
You didn't look free to me

Cast aside, obsolete
Since they canceled music class
You'd been a refugee
But now I'll give you a home

Corazon

So I pushed and I heaved
But your weight bore down like I could not believe
Had you accepted defeat?
Till the crowd gathered round put away their goings on
And hunkered down and they were cheering you on, Corazon

Corazon

And the expert, with his tools
Said "to bring it up to patch"
We'd snap the sucker in two
I guess we're tuning to you
So I pulled up a seat and
I swear I felt a pulse beneath your keys
To urge your hammers along

Corazon

I was caught, I was stuck
And my thoughts couldn't bind and deepening the rut
Until your first chord struck
Now I search on my shore
But my God you've given another chance to love
And now I'll give you a home

Corazon
