I was much more

Folder: 
High School

You cannot give me up,

I was more than that.

Stadium choruses

Are echoing off the ceiling

Grand pianos

Organs with 30 feet pipes

Moaning with gaiety



You cannot let me go,

I am tied to you.

Hands waving in the air,

Halleluiah, lord, Halleluiah

Feet dancing to the beat,

Feeling happy through and through,

Reverberating vibes of

Soul power.



You cannot set me loose,

I am tied to you.

A thousand voices

Of conviction and grace.

Hungry with pain.

Beautifully releasing

The fire of a thousand matches.

The waters of a thousand lakes.



You cannot give me up,

I was much more than that.
