[Intro — Rhodes, brushed drums, distant trumpet] There’s a piano in the midnight, Playing notes nobody hears, There’s a violin behind the silence, Pulling memories through the years. There’s a trumpet in the distance, Calling softly through the flew, And a bass beneath the pavement Keeping time with what we do. CHORUS I hear the music, I hear it deep inside, Every little heartbeat Has a rhythm it can’t hide. The guitar keeps on whispering, The drums begin to rise, And somewhere in the darkness There’s an orchestra inside. [Instrumental — vibraphone + trumpet + bass] The saxophone knows secrets That the human tongue forgets, The cello carries shadows Of the things we can’t regret. The marimba paints the morning, While the old organ remains, And a lonely little harmonica Sings softly through the rain. CHORUS I hear the music, I hear it deep inside, Every little heartbeat Has a rhythm it can’t hide. The guitar keeps on whispering, The drums begin to rise, And somewhere in the darkness There’s an orchestra inside. BRIDGE — spoken/sung, very intimate A piano can remember. A trumpet can forgive. A drum can make you move again. A violin can make you live. A bass can hold the ground. A flute can touch the sky. And when the world goes quiet, The music doesn't die. [Break — drums drop out; solo Rhodes and bass] FINAL CHORUS I hear the music, I hear it deep inside, Every little heartbeat Has a rhythm it can’t hide. There’s an orchestra inside. [Outro — trumpet melody, vibraphone, brushed cymbal fade]
