Through guilded chambers

I once roamed

Where silver plates

Adorned each wall

My melodies

Would grace their feasts

Till time itself

Would softly fall

Now rhythms change

With every age

The harmonies

Transform and sway

From marble halls

To crowded streets

Where modern music

Finds its way

From marble halls

To crowded streets

Where soul and spirit

Come to play

These brass-bound strings

Beneath my hands

Have learned to bend

In different ways

The ancient songs

Still burn inside

While new beats paint

These brighter days

The past dissolves

Into the sound

Of bass that shakes

The ground below

From marble halls

To crowded streets

Where modern music

Finds its way

From marble halls

To crowded streets

Where soul and spirit

Come to play

Time keeps moving

Like a river

Flowing past

The ancient stone

Every note I play delivers

Tales of where

I've been and gone

(Where I've been)

(And gone)

The velvet curtains

Fade away

As street lights

Paint a different scene

My music finds

Its truth at last

In spaces caught between

The rhythm

Speaks of who I am

Both worlds unite

In harmony

From marble halls

To crowded streets

Where modern music

Finds its way

From marble halls

To crowded streets

Where soul and spirit

Come to play

(Soul and spirit)

(Come to play)
