Past Memories

In days of past memories, I recall the old histories, Many of them being tragedies, Lost and lonely, hard to believe That throughout all the misery People still liked singing and dancing They still enjoyed life and kept laughing Sing and dancing Enjoying life and laughing Histories and tragedies And many other vagaries It's all so very clear to me That people are more tougher than we perceive They cope with things in different degrees And keep holding on to their beliefs And they keep singing and dancing Enjoying life and laughing It's as if music was their everything I don't see it now being acted out differently Singing, dancing, Enjoying life and laughing Music is people's everything And helps them deal with rendering The hardships of the never ending Pain, death and misery, Of what's happened in history Long held within our memories.
