Before I knew that I was blessed 
When I was just like the rest of the people 
Who never let dreams in their minds 
Music would play and say 
Maybe you're wastin' your time 

Before I knew what good could be 
When I couldn't see the need or the reason 
For trusting in me or my star 
Music would play and say 
Hey, what a dummy you are 

And when I heard all the words about passion 
Singin' to me about love and affection  
that I never heard anywhere else 
that's when I said, 
“gotta get some of that for myself” 

And when I heard about hurtin' and healin' 
beautiful words about beautiful feelings 
what lots of believin' could do 
beautiful music, I knew it just had to be true 
you're beautiful, beautiful music! 

Before I saw my life in lights 
When I couldn't taste the nights I was missin' 
I'd listen alone in my bed 
And music would sing to me 
things no one else even said 

And when I heard all the words about passion 
Singin' to me about love and affection  
that I never heard anywhere else 
that's when I said, 
“gotta get some of that for myself” 

And when I heard about hurtin' and healin' 
beautiful words about beautiful feelings 
what lots of believin' could do 
beautiful music, I knew it just had to be true 
you're beautiful, beautiful music! 

And now I laugh and now I cry like a baby 
Livin' and lovin' each day 
And just maybe, 
For all the good things that come true 
Beautiful music 
The best of my blessings is you 
You're beautiful, beautiful music
