Emi

I want to play in a band with a crazy name

Dancing along, disregarding the fame

I play for the sake of the music and the joy

Not for admiration from each girl and boy

 

I want to sing like the birds always sing

Totally immersed in the songs they bring

No matter what day of week or time of day

No matter what people think or what they say

 

I’ll keep on dancing though I’ve never learned

If I dance to the rhythm of life, the bliss is well-earned

I’ll stumble and fall; I’ll definitely get offbeat

But I’ll just brush myself off and get back on my feet

 

For every day is a song; it is your choice to sing along

If you don’t, I won’t chastise or say that you’re wrong

But certainly it is your loss if silence is your choice

For then the melody of life and love is missing your voice
