Symphony [Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles Version]
Hey, hey, hey
You ready to go?
Alright
Let's do it
Ever since I's young, coming up, coming up
Always marching to a drum, bra da dum, bra da dum
Always focused on me, one one, one one
Now I wish that I could hold someone, someone
So tell my mom I love her, call my baby sister
Should've hug and kissed her
'Cause life is just a mystery
And it's gone before you know it
So if you love me, won't you show it? Mm
'Cause this life is one big symphony
This night is one for you and me
I'm the strings and you're the timpani
You're my constant tambourine
This life is one big symphony
So glad I've got you next to me
I'm the chords and you're the melody
This life's one big symphony
She was the piano, I'm the xylophone
You can have the trumpet, I'm the saxophone
Life a skipping rope, keep going, keep going
Finding solace in a note, dote dote, dote dote
Had to struggle when I's broke, so low, so low
Writing music just to cope, no hope, no hope
Yeah, life is just perspective
Laughing when you've wrecked it
Smiling when you kept it together
You weathered the storm
At the end of the play, you sang all the way
Doesn't matter how off-key
If you did it your way
This life is one big symphony
This night is one for you and me
I'm the strings and you're the timpani
You're my constant tambourine
This life is one big symphony
So glad I've got you next to me
I'm the chords and you're the melody
This life's one big symphony
Would you care if I played you the flute?
See, it's my favorite one 'cause it's so delicate and beautiful
I pull out the trombone if it's more suitable
Wanna make you smile
Been a little while since I've seen the white of your teeth
Been a hard year
Lucky the guitar's here
Life is just one big symphony
This life is one big symphony
This night is one for you and me
I'm the strings and you're the timpani
You're my constant tambourine
This life is one big symphony
So glad I've got you next to me
I'm the chords and you're the melody
This life's one big symphony
And, cut
