While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Tom Petty Jeff Lynne Steve Winwood Dhani Harrison and Prince Lyrics

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
I observe everyone around me and I see love in them, even if it's hidden or inactive.

While my guitar gently weeps
Even in the midst of sadness, disappointment, or frustration, I can still express myself through music.

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
I observe the world around me and see that there is a need for change and improvement, even in small things.

Still my guitar gently weeps
Despite the challenges and difficulties, I maintain my expression and creativity through music.

I don't know why nobody told you
It's a mystery to me why some people are not given guidance or advice when they need it.

How to unfold your love
How to express the love and kindness that is inside of you and share it with others.

I don't know how someone controlled you
It's baffling to me how some people are subjected to manipulation and domination by others.

They bought and sold you
These people were treated as commodities or possessions rather than human beings with dignity and worth.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
I observe the natural cycles and changes of events that occur in the world around me.

With every mistake we must surely be learning
Through errors and missteps, we gain knowledge and insight to make progress and improve ourselves.

Still my guitar gently weeps
Despite the inevitable setbacks and errors, I keep creating and expressing through music.

(Guitar Solo)
The music alone speaks and expresses my emotions and thoughts at this moment.

I don't know why you were diverted
It's perplexing why some people were led away from their true path or purpose in life.

You were perverted too
These individuals were also corrupted or twisted from what their true potential or character might have been.

I don't know how you were inverted
It's a mystery how some people were turned around or led in the wrong direction in life.

No one alerted you
Unfortunately, these people were not warned or advised of the dangerous path they were taking.

Look at you all
I see everyone around me, taking account of their lives and situations.

Still my guitar gently weeps
Nevertheless, my music continues to be a source of expression, creativity, and hope.

(Epic Guitar Solo by Prince)
My fellow musician adds his own emotional and artistic expression to the song, making it something special and unique.

Look at you all
I see the world as it is, with all its triumphs and struggles.

Still my guitar gently weeps
And yet, my music continues, a symbol of hope, joy, and perseverance in the face of hardship.
