When the Music Comes Along
©️ 2022 by Sharon Stepler
I was accustomed to the noise
It was all I’d ever known
I never said something was wrong
But I felt it in my bones
Then one day I heard a sound
That made me stop and turn around
Wo-o-oh
When you hear it you will know
Be ready to sing your song
When the music comes along
Music playing sweet and clear
Like I’d never heard before
I followed it until I stood
Beside an open door
With intuition as my guide
I took a breath and stepped inside
Wo-o-oh
When you hear it you will know
Be ready to sing your song
When the music comes along
BR
I only heard the world in shades of gray
Day by day
Making do
But Life sings in all the colors of the rainbow
This I know
Because of you
I’m not someone who believes
That some things are meant to be
But I never will explain
How I heard that melody
When I finally got it right
Moved from darkness into light
Wo-o-oh
When you hear it you will know
Be ready to sing your song
When the music comes along
Wo-o-oh
When you hear it you will know
Be ready to sing your song
When the music comes along

I really love this sentiment that encourages one to follow the muse. Your gentle finger picking and that oh oh oh and the chorus is gorgeous. I also like how one might take literally or metaphorically! Lovely!

I love how this works both literally and figuratively...when your song comes along, you will know. Great song. As always, I really like the guitar work as well.

Great idea, the discovery of music, and I love the way your voice floats off on the joy, Really well done. Enjoyable listen, a celebration of what we are so lucky to be able to enjoy and create for the enjoyment of others.!! :)

The lyrics in this song are really fantastic. I love how you mix metaphors like "I only heard the world in shades of gray". And the urging to "be ready to sing your song when the music comes along" is just lovely.

A lovely song of hope and what music can bring to you.
Congrats on a successful FAWM 2022!

What treasures you've created while being stationary! This has everything that makes a good song!

Oh so gorgeous. Love the message, the playing, the vocals--everything! This is so so good, one of my favorites from you I think.
