| Does the sound bring you peace? Are you drawn to the rhythm? Do you seek the melody�s melody? What do you harness within? Is it the strum of a string? Or the beat of a drum? Is it the dynamics of the voice? Or the variety from which it can come? How do you spell MUSIC? But without a U and I? For it�s not just the vast ocean of tones It�s the people you�ve known by and by Music brings us feeling That only others know best To make us happy or sad Or if just to put us to rest So I ask again: How do you spell MUSIC? With friends in a compassionate moment? Or with the groupies for a kick? Music can come to you at any time Even while you read this you could think of a tune From a complex orchestral array To simplicity fed from a spoon Music brings out memories Locked up deep inside And unites fair loners From the shadows where they confide No, music is not the solution To every dream unturned, The answer to every question, Or something to be earned But the dream no one�s dared to dream And the speech no one�s dared to speak It�s the answer to the question no one dared to ask And the strength behind the weak What would the world be without music Or would it be at all? Without the presence of wandering notes We would be living on one dull ball So in short don�t take for granted The ones who produce the sound They give our mere mortal lives meaning Their immortal tones waiting to be found |
