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
