Raise your hand
if you've listened to that song.
The one to which
you must sing along.
It's the one you remembered lyrics to
not just as words,
as the real meaning
meant to be heard.
Keep your hand up
if you search for that lyric,
it's the one not just written
but it's felt when you hear it.
Now if your hand is still up
why do we search for meaning?
Just listen to that lyric
and pretend you are reading.
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you see what I see?
Words can be more than words
if you truly let them be.
Now put your hands down
and replay your song,
just don't forget the lyrics
so they remember you when you're gone.
