lyrics

As long as I remember a radio was on
When came the right melody I flew, and I was gone.
It was nothing conscious when I was still too young, but—
Musically I came of age
Flames were fanned, the fires raged…

I heard John Lennon singing--that voice had touched my soul
And then on some visceral plane that note became my goal.
It’s not always smooth sailing
Through rising waves of doubt
They’ll tell you don’t rock the boat
Or they’ll seize the chance to gloat
They hope you’ll sink instead of float

Triad, melt this ice away
Triad, because you’re here to stay.

Should I take the next step? It could bring me some pain
I’ve seen too many have to play their fiddles in the rain.
And while I’m hesitating, a Byrd sings in my ear:
“Do your thing, do it now
And don’t stop to question how
You’ll make it to your final bow”

Triad, ease my fears away
Triad, because you’re here to stay.

I never thought that I’d foresee confidence empower me
But now I find that I can love all equally and the same.
Triad, you are now my choice
Hear the sound carry my voice:
I won’t throw away the years
Where music moving to my ears
Helped one youth through his primal fears

Triad…

Triad, Triad, do your best, don’t make it bad, melt this ice away.
Triad, Triad, you’re the best I ever had; show you’re here to stay.

As long as you remember your view and what it means
You’ll never let the skeptical impose upon your dreams.
For once your song is over, a new one’s just begun…

Triad, ease my fears away
Triad, because you’re here to stay
Triad, melt this ice away
Triad, show them that you’re here to stay (repeat)

Triad, ease my fears away
Triad, show them that you’re here to stay
Triad, melt this ice away
Triad!
