Piano Concerto
Emerson Lake & Palmer/Keith Emerson Lyrics

Just take a pebble and cast it to the sea,
Start with something small and insignificant, like a pebble, and give it away or let it go.

Then watch the ripples that unfold into me,
Observe how your actions and decisions affect not just yourself, but others as well.

My face spill so gently into your eyes,
My emotions and experiences transfer to you, and you see them reflected in my face.

Disturbing the waters of our lives.
By sharing our experiences and emotions, we disrupt the status quo and allow growth and change to occur.

Shread of our memories are lying on your grass;
Fragments of our past are present in your surroundings, but they are disconnected and disorganized.

Wounded words of laughter are graveyards of the past.
Even happy memories can be painful reminders of things lost or forgotten.

Photographs are grey and torn, scattered in your fields
Visual reminders of our past are scattered around us, but they too are fragmented and decayed.

Letters of your mem'ries are not real.
The stories and memories we tell ourselves may not be entirely accurate, and can be influenced by our own biases or emotions.

Sadness on your shoulders like a wornout overcoat
Sadness and pain can weigh heavily on us, like an ill-fitting and uncomfortable garment.

In pockets creased and tattered hang the rags of your hope.
Even amidst sadness, remnants of hope can persist, but they may be frayed and worn down over time.

The daybreak is your midnight; the colours have all died.
In moments of despair, the beauty and vibrance of life can seem to fade away, leaving only darkness.

Disturbing the waters of our lives, of our lives, of our lives, lives,
Reiterating the idea that through sharing and vulnerability, we can create positive change and growth in our individual and collective lives.

Of our lives.
Emphasizing the interconnectedness of our experiences and emotions, and how they affect not just ourselves, but those around us as well.
