A Song Unsung
A song unsung is not a song
Until the music plays.
And the verse meant to come alive
Is just a meaningless phrase.
But there is no song without the words
That give meaning to it all
And to separate the two will bring
Nothing you’ll recall
But if the two are blended
In a very special way
Something magic happens
That you don’t see every day.
You’ll find rhythm in the music,
And a rhyme for all the words
And if you listen closely
Angels can be heard.
To put it all together
May seem a mighty chore
For what you’re really looking for
No one’s heard before.
The words may come from wisdom
Or from deep within your heart
And the chord that brings these words to life
Requires a very special art
Then, when you think it’s finished,
And all the work is done
Just give it one more edit
And then enjoy the fun.
