Lyrics
[Chorus]
Count the keys but I stay blind
Chasing shadows in my mind
Eighty-eight ways to feel alive
Try to find the strength inside to thrive
Just eighty-eight ways to feel alive
Try to find the strength inside to thrive
[Verse 1]
Wood and ivory cold against my skin
Still don't know where to begin
Strange patterns in the black and white
Watching stars burn through the night
Spirit screams in a wordless song
Wondering where I might belong
[Pre-Chorus]
Hammer strikes the wire
Spirit starts a fire
Feeling every chord
Calling for the Lord
[Chorus]
Count the keys but I stay blind
Chasing shadows in my mind
Eighty-eight ways to feel alive
Try to find the strength inside to thrive
Just eighty-eight ways to feel alive
Try to find the strength inside to thrive
[Verse 2]
Music is the ghost inside my chest
Never letting me find any rest
I stumble through the scales alone
Speaking in a tone I have never known
Soul is breathing in the space between
Things I felt but I have never seen
[Pre-Chorus]
Hammer strikes the wire
Spirit starts a fire
Feeling every chord
Calling for the Lord
[Chorus]
Count the keys but I stay blind
Chasing shadows in my mind
Eighty-eight ways to feel alive
Try to find the strength inside to thrive
Just eighty-eight ways to feel alive
Try to find the strength inside to thrive
[Bridge]
Maybe it's the heartbeat
Maybe it's the rhythm
Maybe it's the language I was given
[Chorus]
Count the keys but I stay blind
Chasing shadows in my mind
Eighty-eight ways to feel alive
Try to find the strength inside to thrive
Just eighty-eight ways to feel alive
Try to find the strength inside to thrive
