One day a lonely drummer sat up
as in his mind a crazy notion swirled...
“What if, with a smile and these two drumsticks...” he thought,
“I could change the world?”
So he sat upon a street corner
and began to drum a beat.
And, before long, people stopped and smiled...
then began to move their feet.
Suddenly a woman with a guitar
stepped out of the throng,
smiled at the drummer
and began to play along.
Then a woman started singing
in a voice both sweet and strong
and the people who were dancing
began to sing along.
As the music emanated in all directions
people came from everywhere.
They smiled, they sang, they danced, they cheered
they raised their hands up in the air.
And when the song was over
some people shook hands...others kissed...and some embraced.
Everyone left with a spring in their step
and a smile upon their face.
And the drummer..
he also smiled...
after seeing so many people enthralled.
And he was left to wonder if his crazy notion...
was so crazy after all.
