As grand as Shakespeare
10 miles away I can still hear
A great crescendo of sound arises
Fingertips won't stop
So beautiful it makes you cry
I don't even understand why
Millions of people staring
All stuck in awe
I hear the sobs and the sighs
But to me, it's just no big surprise
I soon get lost in everything
The keys seem to lengthen abroad
My ears are ringing, the choir is singing
But when I was done, after it had all begun
All I did was nod.
