When life's a picture of black and white

With so much there that isn't tried

A gentle smile and you begin

To change the scene and color in

And leaden weights turn into wings

How do you do those things



So many voices but nothing said

It's like a drum in my head 

Your eyes are singing without words

The sweetest things I've ever heard

Instead of drums I am hearing strings

How do you do those things



How do you take my heart and turn it over

Where do you get the power you possess

Making my concrete world a field of clover

Turning my losing run into success



So much confusion So many tears

The sound of sadness in my ears

Just when I think I cannot cope

You lift my heart and give me hope

From troubled waters healing springs

How do you do those things

How do you do those things
