[Verse]

When I was 13, just a young wide-eyed soul

I picked up the guitar, let the music take control (control)

Strumming chords and melodies, feeling all the highs and lows

Learning new ways of life, watching as it all unfolds (yeah)

[Verse 2]

Then came the saxophone, a brass symphony so smooth

Blowing out my worries, finding my groove (groove)

Through the awkward years of change, it helped me understand

This thing called puberty, that I could make it in this land (uh-huh)

[Chorus]

Chasing melodies, finding solace in the sound

When life got tough, it was music that I found (found)

Through all the ups and downs, it carried me along

As I navigated through this journey, growing strong (oh yeah-yeah)
