Dialing In

That engaging voice rings out through the dark Percolating between bands on the air Soaring antennas pulse his festive spark To share his diversion of solitaire Nestled within promotional urges Hidden behind that bombardment of sound Charisma propels his karmic surges Lifting his influence up from the ground I bask enthralled within that merriment As I dial in to win concert tickets He offers up comfort most relevant While defeating those tittering crickets In my young mind I ponder my free will As I scan future's potential for me If only I sharpened my emcee skill My meager voice could expand past the sea Sojourning over vast hills and valleys I launch my quest to fulfill distant dreams Trouncing over boulevards and alleys With eyes wide open to evade bleak schemes Every open door now slams in my face While laughter chases down those marble halls Dial in massive resolve as I erase Balance-sheet junkies hiding in those walls I long for real talk to reach my people Businessmen wholesale their spirits for cash That iron tower serves as my steeple For conquering bright minds in just a flash So I dial in to the college station That refractory refuge on my wave Instead of drowning in dour frustration Those substantial watts would pump me to rave Panic shifts to diligence on my show Where you will always find relevant songs I hone my craft until I can bestow That remote rapport that justly belongs
