it was a song that i offered but he scrapped that song for the parts because i am the composer s daughter and he plays the strings of the heart he takes the things i desire he took the chords i had claimed my dross consumed by the fire my song composed by the pain take my will and make it yours i m finding joy in the way that my sorrow moves me i feel it more in the way my heart aches i m comforted even in that i know you know me and i think this is the composer s way he takes the things i desire he took the chords i had claimed my dross consumed by the fire my song composed by the pain this song is a second edition working in parts of a whole and now through each painful revision i sing it is well with my soul
