Jazz
Let us make music, you and I
and touch everybody we pass
Disregarding set boundaries
with an impromtu flair.
Let us breathe life into the city
As if it was always a cold night on the square
And sound like angels
or perhaps obnoxious birds.
Let us take the years in our hands
And fill them with sound
And convert the mourners' weeping
into tears of joy.
Let us bring people together
in this vast expanse of time and space
Let us make music, you and I,
And touch everybody we pass.
