When life was a song, respect was expected;                                   
mediocrity was rejected. When life was a song,                                        work was meaningful; hard work was the norm.

When life was a song, life was about realness,                                                                           
not fashion and form. When life was a song,                                                                                                                                                           A job was more than a check, and workers                                               
were proud of their craft.

When life was a song, work was not a marathon,                                                                                                                                         but it was hard and long. When life was a song,                                                                                                                                                   people did not like handouts but loved working                                            for a living.

When life was a song, parents were firm and strong,                                                                                                                                    and the kids were secure.  When life was a song,                                                                                                                                               children were children and adults were adults.

When life was a song, we lived to sing, and                                                                                                                                                        we sang to live. When life was a song,                                                                                                                                                        our lot in life was keyboards                                                                                                                                         making happy tunes.

When life was a song, it seems that time stood still,                                                                                                                                                 and stillness permeated the time. When life was a song,                                                                                                                                                    life was our music, and our music was life.

When life was a song, we smiled, laughed, and loved;                                                                                                                                           and everybody danced, even when we knew not how.

When life was a song, people didn't whine over spilled milk                                                          but wiped it up and moved on to the next chapter of their lives.

When Life was a song, we heard the sound of drums                                                                   
but danced by the rhythm of our heartbeats.

When life was a song, we cared less about being cool and                                                                 more about finishing school so we didn't grow up to be fools.

When life was a song, fashion, habits, culture, and attitudes                                                      were formed on a downhome main street,                                                  not Madison Ave. and Holywood.

These things we did and more;                                                              
these ways we lived and led our lives                                                      when life was a song.
