try to grab a single note
leap for it as it dances
through the air and past your ears
taking risks and taking chances
chase it as it weaves through the song
off a cliff and into a valley
of shadows and minors
and things so beautifully ghastly
back up and onto a mountain
of inspirations and majors
climb to the very peak
where distance makes everyone a stranger
leap off the top and cling to the note
never touching the ground never looking down
higher then the clouds could dream of being
on your head rests a musical crown
fly over the emerald ocean
clinging to that single sound wave
high above that sea of endless worry
turning your mind away from your looming grave
but your note slips through your fingers
escaping to a place no one has discovered
you go crashing into your ocean
and your inspiration is smothered
come back my musical friend
where ever you’re at, I need you
don’t leave me when I’m drowning
how do I find you, give me a clue
I’ll crawl to the ends of the earth
just to rescue you from extinction
promise me you won’t fade away
from a realm of such distinction
where ever you’re at, I need you
to rescue me from the ocean
to fly me over the clouds and into the stars
leaving behind all my destructive emotion
we’ll save each other again and again
letting everything else disappear
we’ll do whatever it takes
even when the consequences seem severe
together we will burn away the ocean
evaporated by powerful inspiration
me and my note will sail away
on the dream of eternal liberation
