88 Keys

Black and white they play together.
Through the ages they’ve remained in harmony.
Though they all speak a different language
They never judge each other; Their colour never seen.

Black and white they work together.
Such things of beauty they create.
Never saying no to a new masterpiece.
Forever friends; They know no hate.

Black and white they sing together.
All kinds of music they can make.
And although they may not always sing in tune
Their will to sing will never break.

Black and white they feel together.
Whether happy or sad, they’re always by each others side.
So many emotions they’ve experienced.
But never have they cried.

Black and white they live together.
Eighty-eight souls that seek to please.
Together they hold a message of peace …
Those sweet Piano Keys.
