Scott Wittman - Second Hand White Baby Grand lyrics

[Verse 1: Megan Hilty] My mother bought it secondhand 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 [Chorus: Megan Hilty] Something secondhand 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 Secondhand White Baby Grand still had something beautiful to give [Verse 2: Megan Hilty] Through missing keys and broken strings the music was our own Until the day we said our last goodbyes The baby grand was sent away A child all alone, to pray somebody else would realize [Chorus: Megan Hilty] That something secondhand 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 Secondhand White Baby Grand still has something beautiful to give [Bridge: Megan Hilty] 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 [Chorus: Megan Hilty] That something secondhand 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 Secondhand White Baby Grand that still has something beautiful to give I still have something beautiful to give
