Music

Music is contagious
make it more outrageous
make me break the cages
that confine me to the pages
of a story I didn't write
of a war that isn't my fight
​​​​​​music can be the giver of light
brings to the world pure delight
making us dance on through the night
under a moon that is shining bright
BringingΒ a hopeful future into sight
So hold on with all your might
This music will grip on tight
It really is a handful
Could be seen as a scandal
​​​​​​Because music is like a vandal
That pulls up with a pen
Takes out a gun and then
Sprays graffiti over the wall
The walls you have around
Will collapse to the ground
Earthquakes with the sound
​​Down will come your wall
As the bricks tumble and fall
The ones you have up around you
So you can keep out all you have to
Music sprays images so you appreciate
what you have all around so you concentrate
on all the things you have to forget to hate
because you were for too long trained
so truly can not be blamed
nor should you feel ashamed
that your spirit couldn't be tamed
and that's because you were made to fly,
Music flows in our blood
til the day we die.Β
