Letra Second Hand White Baby Grand - Megan Hilty
My mother bought it second hand from a silent movie star
It was out of tune, but still I learned to play
And with each note, we both would smile forgetting who we are
And all the pain would simply fly away
Something second hand and broken
Still can make a pretty sound
Even if it doesn't have a place to live
Oh, the words were left unspoken when my Mama came around
But that Second Hand White Baby Grand
Still had something beautiful to give
Through missing keys and broken strings, the music was our own
Until the day we said our last goodbye
The baby grand was sent away.
A child all alone, to pray somebody else would realize
That something second hand and broken
Still can make a pretty sound
Even if it doesn't have a place to live
Oh, the words are still unspoken now that Mama's not around
But that Second Hand White Baby Grand
Still has something beautiful to give
For many years the music had to roam
Until we found a way to find a home
So, now I wake up every day and see her standing there
Just waiting for a partner to compose
And I wish my mother still could hear that sound beyond compare
I'll play her song till everybody knows
That something second hand and broken
Still can make a pretty sound
Don't we all deserve a family room to live
Oh, the words can't stay unspoken until everyone has found
That Second Hand White Baby Grand that
Still has something beautiful to give
I still have something beautiful to give
