Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every new beginning
From a bitter end
Carries the message that creation sends
Songs of freedom
From a world away
You'll find them in the music Coltrane plays
[Verse 2]
Music is the message
Sent from God to man
Listen closely, you will understand
It's all around you but do you appreciate
That is what we need to make a brighter day
[Refrain]
And that's the way it's always been
Music is the message creation sent
And that's the way it's always been
Music is the message creation sent
[Verse 3]
Songs of mystery
Take your breath away
That's how it feels to hear Coltrane play
He'll lift you up high
Like the sunny day
That's how it feels to hear Coltrane play
[Refrain]
And that's the way it's always been
Music is the message creation sent
And that's the way it's always been
Music is the message creation sent
[Refrain]
And that's the way it's always been
Music is the message creation sent
And that's the way it's always been
Music is the message creation sent
