Don't know where it started going wrong."
Well then come with me today
I'll take you to where all the trumpets play
'Cause it's the sound that brings you back
Brass is just what amplifiers lack my dear
Now I know you don't know how
Don't you start to think about it now!
Trumpets knew there's nowhere they can hide
And that music from afar?
I always know where all the trumpets are my dear!
Where they are
They are they
Trumpets there to save the day!
Say your lifelines disappear?
There is nothing there for you to fear
Put that hand up to your ear
I always know when trumpets will appear my dear!
