Music

Music tells a story

Just because you stop listening

doesn’t mean it ends

Others hear the words

the ones you deny

Though to you it may only be noise

the sound, the language

the rhythm

It speaks, it moves

Creates heartbeats

and slows the pace of falling tears

It shapes smiles, dulls pain

Music is medicine

for the body and the soul

We are new when we hear classics

We are family when we hear the sound

Music brings the world

though separated by many miles

and cultures, and people

It brings us together

All to one heart, one place

And those footsteps created a new rhythm

A new song to hear

And finally when we converg, we hear it

Because the time has com

for us to tell our story with our music

And may our voices never be silent
