Ressurrection of the Rhyme

-resurrection of rhyme-
come people come! lets all gather down the hall
wake up you sleeping guts and join this brawl
awake the dead dust beyond our feet
come join the rhythm sway your way through' the beat
                     
                     sing with me this jubilant song
                     that awakes the silent gong
                     sing with me oh mighty throng
                     drum dance and sing along

call it Sunday call it sabbath,
whistle out air of your breathe
take your brothers arm to the air
shake away you poetic flickery flair

                     sing with me the weak and strong
                     let the music toss you where you belong
                     sing with me oh mighty throng
                     hoist the living rhyme, tag along.

sing with me this jubilant song
that awakes the silent gong
sing with me oh mighty throng
drum dance and sing along
