i am a piano

I am black and white
I wonder how I came to be
I hear melodies with every touch
I see notes no one else sees
I want to bring peace
I am black and white.

I pretend to be hard to understand
I feel powerful with every touch of the human hand
I touch people’s souls to make them change their ways
I worry if I break I won’t get played
I cry when I sit alone
I am black and white.

I understand true happiness
I say music warms the heart
I dream there will be peace on Earth
I try to give every day a new start
I hope music completes my dreams
I am black and white.
