A Song That Has Not Been Sung

A song that has not been sung
Is a bell that has not been rung
Is a clock that has not been wound
Is a speech without a sound
Is a seed without a sprout
Is a man without a doubt

A bee that makes no honey
Is a man that makes no money
Is a child that does not dream
Is a baby that does not scream
Is a mother that does not love
Is roof that is not above

A car that does not drive
Is a man that does not strive
Is a road that leads nowhere
Is a flat tire without a spare
Is an idea without a spark
Is a world forever dark
