[FATHER] Where have I been? How did we change, Caught in this strange New music? Say, Was I away too long? [MOTHER] Just like that tune, Simple and clear, I've come to hear New music. [FATHER] New music. Why, Why can't you hear the song? [YOUNGER BROTHER] His fingers stoke those keys, And every note says "Please", And every chord says "Turn my way." [MOTHER, FATHER] I thought I knew What love was but these lovers play... [MOTHER, FATHER, YOUNGER BROTHER] New music! Haunting me, And somehow taunting me- My love was never half as true. [FATHER] And I as myself, Why can't I sing it too? [WORKERS, NEIGHBORS] His fingers stoke those keys, And every note says "Please", And every chord says "Turn my way." [WORKERS, NEIGHBORS, FAMILY] I thought I knew What love was but these lovers play New music! [ALL] Haunting me, And somehow taunting me- My love was Never half as true. [COALHOUSE] Sarah, my life has changed. Sarah, you've got to see. Sarah, we got a son! Sarah, come down to me... [SARAH] You and your music Singing deep in me, Making nice to me, Saying something so new- [COALHOUSE] New [SARAH] Changing everything, Meaning everything, [COALHOUSE] Music [SARAH] Calling my heart to you... [COALHOUSE] All for you, girl. You, Sarah. [SARAH] Play that melody, Your sweet melody, Calling my heart to you. [COALHOUSE] You. [ALL (except Coalhouse & Sarah)] Just like that tune, Simple and clear, I've come to hear New music- Breaking my heart, Op'ning a door, Chamging the world! New music! I'll Hear it forevermore!
