My parents said one day to me I could play a song I could play an instrument That was where it all began I liked harp and cello But those two were refused There was a piano in our house So that was what I chose Now music is my passion And that's why I play Music is my passion And that will always stay Music is my passion And I want to give a bit to you But when you thank me for the music You've gotta thank another one too It's not that I don't like the compliments Sometimes they help me out And without all those compliments I wouldn't be here now But I am not an angel There was some luck on my path My parents supported me And could afford the lessons I had And now music is my passion And that's why I play Music is my passion And that will always stay Music is my passion And I want to give a bit to you But when you thank me for the music You've gotta thank another one too But when you thank me for the music You've gotta thank another one too I believe there's a God above Who made all humankind Who planted talents in our hearts And music was mine So I'll praise my father up above Kneeling as I pray And I'll thank him for the music For the music we play Oh I'll thank him for the music For the music he plays
