lyrics

He broke my heart, when it told me he’d had enough,
He couldn’t do it anymore..
There was no time.
He couldn’t be who he wanted and needed to be.
So he thought he had to stop.
He said ’something must change.
I am so tired I just can’t do this anymore’

But when he played, it all went away
Found a home to put all the joy and the pain
He was the trumpet man
He was our trumpet man

Trying to be so many things
Have to be a teacher, a father, a lover and so many other things.
He said ‘It’s just too much. I can’t keep this up I’m struggling to do it all,
So I think I need to stop. I just want to be, the best version of me’.

But when he played, it all went away
Found a home to put all the joy and the pain
He was the trumpet man
He was our trumpet man

And when he played, he found his home and brought us in – and we were there.
We felt all of his love and his horn was his way to come through, through it all, when he just played.

Just play…

But when he played, it all went away
Found a home to put all the joy and the pain
He was the trumpet man
He was our trumpet man

Trumpet man…He’s the trumpet man
You’ve got to play; you’ve got to play it now.
Trumpet Man. Trumpet Man. Trumpet Man.
He’s The Trumpet Man.
