Song

SONG Oh! well you take a beat ..... Feel the rhythm from your head to your feet Lay it down with a form and a meter Bring alive with a jive make it neater And then you get some notes ..... Compose a melody that swings and floats Put together in the major or the minor Just one other thing could make it finer You have a sound now - nice ....... Just add a little bit of flavour, give it spice Get some words right for articulation Sing them in this new delectable collation ..................... You can pass your laws and fight your wars Lay a siege shut out by walls and iron doors There’s one thing can penetrate the layers of stone A single air sung by gentle voice alone With a song you have a magical creation With the power to devour a whole nation Bringing passion, joy and laughter, maybe tears Deep heart resonance that echos down the years 3 January 2020
