lyrics

I was just 6 years old,
glued to my TV
PBS was showing
Gershwin’s 7th Symphony

It was live, straight from Washington
On the Kennedy Center stage
Reagan, fresh from the hospital
Spoke before a single note was played

He said no that bullet could ever keep him
From hearing history
And he had to show up in person
for Gershwin’s 7th Symphony

Program notes were written by Ira
Slava held the baton
The composer sat in the very first row
Kay Gershwin on his arm

I was hundreds of miles away
But it felt like they were playing for me
Something stirred inside of me
When I heard Gershwin’s 7th symphony

The brass blew loud and triumphant
The strings sounded heavenly
The melodies served as a reminder
Of all that America could be

It had been almost six long decades
Since we first heard his Rhapsody
But nothing could have ever prepared us
For Gershwin’s 7th symphony
