by the school, on the street
you were dropped off with a sign
"this piano is free"
you didn't look free to me

cast aside, obsolete
since they cancelled music class
you've been a refugee
but now i'll give you a home, corozon

so i pushed, and i heaved
but your weight bore down like I could not believe
had you accepted defeat
til the crowd, gathered 'round
put away their going's on and hunkered down
and they were cheering you on, corazon(repeat)
cheering you on, corazon(repeat)

and the expert, with his tools
said to bring it up to pitch would snap the sucker in two
I guess we're tuning to you
so I pulled up a seat and I sweat I felt a pulse beneath your keys
to urge your hammers along, corazon
hammer along, corazon(repeat)

I was caught, I was stuck
and my thoughts combined and deepened in the rut
until your first chord struck
now I search, I'm unsure
but my god you've given me another chance to learn
come on and teach me your songs, corazon
teach me your songs, corazon
