I Am A Piano

Isaiah 24:23

Then the moon will be confounded

and the sun ashamed

I am A Piano

whose strings are covered with rust

whose keys are covered with crust

And you sit me out under the moon

and you say, Now play me a tune!

And I try and I strain

and my tune comes out with pain

so you leave me out for the rain

And when you come back

You're armed with a stack

of hammers and chisels and saws

Then under the moon 

you crash out a tune

that breaks all musical laws

Tomorrow is now come

and your son whom you would scold

for being very dumb

plays in the ruins that I am

And he laughs and he cries

in the joy I bring to him

And in the dawn he sings a tune

that shames even the moon
