Analysis of I yearn to play
Music plays in my head sometimes
that wants to be heard above the rhymes
I sit alone at the piano keys
And wait for the heavens to speak to me
They say just feel you'll find your way
Let your fingers find the sounds and play
Everything will go your way
You don't need notes or eyes, just soul
a mind to struggle against and a goal
Listen they say and they're always right
and noone ever hears me play that shite
But deep down I know it could make men cry
And often I dream of moving their eye
So I let it play in my head sometimes and it always comes out in these simple rhymes.
