Generations
The person that I've grown to be
Has rhythm in her soul.
Music shaped my life, you see
It played a central role.
The sixties made us “Twist and shout”
The Beatles held our hand.
I liked the things they sang about
They're still my favorite band.
The seventies brought us “Dancing Queen”
Led Zeppelin brought some others.
Dolly sang about “Jolene”
Michael left his brothers.
The eighties put us “Back in black"
“Purple Rain” was killer.
Michael Jackson led the pack
With record breaking “Thriller"
The nineties introduced a sound
It changed the way we sing.
Who knew Rap would stick around
What did 2000 bring?
Nickleback, Alicia Keys
Beyonce and Adele
What music will the future bring
Only time will tell.
