Bach
Through cold and hunger pain and doubt
You walked the road no one about
Ten children lost a heavy heart
Yet you played on you played your part
In poverty you found your way
Through dark days you would not sway
A life of struggle endless strife
But you gave music gave new life
You gave the world the tempered scale
Where every key could prevail
Counterpoint in perfect grace
The laws of music you embraced
You gave the fugue the suite the mass
The foundation that would last
You turned your sorrow into art
And gave the world a brand new start
Your hands wrote notes through tears and toil
Your faith kept you from breaking soil
Though few could see your genius then
You gave the world its greatest zenith
Bach you gave us harmony
Through all your pain and misery
Your legacy will never die
Forever in our hearts you fly
