Stairway

They affect our lives
With the sounds of their words
Lyrical, in your mind,
The instruments playing
Close to your ear
Voices that sing to the sky.

The lights, catching them
In colors, so many
The beads of sweat in their hair,
The love of the music-
The feeling around them
Uplifting me high.

The ones on the streets
Guitars in hand
Sing for a dollar, or dime-
They play for us
As we walk on
Perhaps with memories smile.

Sitting in the living room
The radio turned up
The songs beginning, ending, playing
From way back when to now,
The songs are ever present
To mark out every mile.

The adrenaline rush
And you can't sit still
Your feet begin to move
Up an dance, with broom in hand
The magical music you cannot deny
To feel the beat inside your skin.

The emotion and warmth
Surrounding the sound
Over riding the crowds screams
The tears of pain, and joy
I can feel for them
From outside to within.

A song for your wedding,
A song for your grave,
A song for sweet friendship
As long as it plays,
A song for each moment,
A song for just now.

The are ever reaching
With lights shinning bright
Reaching up and out to you
With their voices
And their hands
The will make it, they vow.

To see their names
In neon lights
Or blazing high in flames
They want their songs to linger
For you to know their name
While blasting from your cars.

When you catch the moment,
With a dance or tear-
And hold on until you reach it,
Even those who pass,
When losing songs a tragedy,
Climb your stairway to the stars.
