Dr Chadwick

Once upon a time there was a Man who brought himself great fame One day he walked into the village Dr Chadwick was his name Di-di-di... Di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di People came to town to hear Him People came from miles around They heard He had the gift of music Heard He had a special sound The town reporter said Professor Can you tell our readers why The others simply play their music But You must try and make it fly Then Dr Chadwick told the writer The world thinks one and one is two But I have learned within our hearts We often play by different rules The others let their sheets of paper Sprinkled with the notes they write Bind their hands and thoughts so tightly They cannot bring their songs to life Me, I simply hear the music Note by note I hear the sound I let it flow right through My fingers And slowly then it fills the town Then the Good Professor turned and Saw the people standing there He knelt to earth and bowed His head And then He said this humble prayer Father, hear My words I beg Thee Send the angels from above To fill My heart with inspiration Fill the air with peace and love The people here have travelled far To hear Thy word and give them hope But we both know without Thy blessing I cannot play a single note Let Thy music fill the heavens Let My fingers move with ease Fill the air with richest blessings Fill the air with love and peace Then Dr Chadwick took the harp And placed the cradle to His breast With fingers poised to send a message He vowed to do His very best Then from the harp there came the sound of Sacrifice and boundless love It filtered upward through the trees and Danced upon the roofs above Then His hands fell from the strings As tears began to fill their eyes They saw the prints upon His hands And they began to realize Their hearts were filled with more than music When He came to town that day He taught them how to love each other He showed them all a better way Then all the people knelt to earth and Closed their eyes and bowed their heads They prayed that they might be forgiven And listened to the words He said Then He told the people there to Tell the others what you've heard Share My song with every nation Every note and every word Pray for them unto the Father Pray for guidance from above Teach them just as I have taught you Teach them sacrifice and love Learn the music that I gave you Every measure every part Teach with kindness and compassion Feel the spirit in your hearts Keep your harps in tune my brothers Sisters make your voices sweet Share My word with every creature Every person that you meet Then Dr Chadwick walked away but All the people round him knew That He'd be back again some day And maybe then He'd play for you Di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di
