Rodney's Song

Rodney’s Song

I can lose myself in a melody

I can lose myself in a melody

I can lose myself in a melody

And find solace in a song, sweet solace in a song.

I was born to a God fearin’ man

That worked hard all his life.

Though he faced each day with a smile

He’d known his share of strife.

While he met the sun with his work,

With his music met the moon.

He dealt with the stress of the day

By escaping in a tune,

Because……..

He could lose himself in a melody

He could lose himself in a melody

He could lose himself in a melody

And find solace in a song, sweet solace in a song.

In his steps I followed along

And learned to play the keys,

And its helped to raise me up

When life brought me to my knees.

Oh the blessings I have known

Having music to soothe my soul.

Had it not been for keys and strings

This life would take its toll.

But….

I can lose myself in a melody

I can lose myself in a melody

I can lose myself in a melody

And find solace in a song, sweet solace in a song.

I’ve a son that was born with a love

Of music just like me.

Knowing how it will serve him well

I’m as thankful as can be.

It’s my prayer that his future is bright

And filled with hope anew.

But, should darkness dim his path

There’s a tune to get him through.

So,

He can lose himself in a melody

He can lose himself in a melody

He can lose himself in a melody

And find solace in a song, sweet solace in a song.
