(PaynePeaseScarpiello)
[Chorus:]
Music speaks louder than words
It's the only thing that the whole world listens to
Music speaks louder than words,
When you sing, people understand

Sometimes the love that you feel inside
Gets lost between your heart and your mind
And the words don't really say the things you wanted them to
But then you feel in someone's song
What you'd been trying to say all along
And somehow with the magic of music the message comes through

[Chorus]

The longer I live the more I find that people seldom take the time
To really get to know a stranger and make him a friend
But the power of a simple song can make everybody feel they belong
Maybe singin' and playin' can bring us together again
Singin' and playin' can bring us together again

[Chorus]

That music speaks louder than words

[Chorus]
