Song Of Redemption

I am not that good anymore, and maybe I never was
But I'll play my heart out for you one more time
For in my old age, all I can do
Is play for you, a song from my youth

So let me share my gift with you once more
Just like we had in the past, so many times before
Before, before, before

My hands may shake, my muscles are weak
I'm not as strong as I used to be
But still I will play for you and leave you with a song
For when you have music, you're never alone

Let me share my gift with you once more
Just like we had in the past, so many times before
The song of redemption is all that I have
For in the end the music is all that I have

Though it feels incomplete, the deadline has come for me
I must present to you my masterpiece
For time is short in my condition
The song of redemption will be the final composition
From this tired musician

Please give me your attention
And I will remedy this silent tension
And I hope that you'll remember
I hope the memories will leave a lasting impression
Of me when I'm gone, gone
After I am gone

I don't need to concentrate, I can close my eyes
And though you'll hear this song but once
I've rehearsed it a thousand times

What will you say after I'm done?
After I've attempted to play the song of redemption
And what will you say after I'm gone?
After I've attempted to play the song of redemption

The song of redemption
The song of redemption
The song of redemption
