THIS SONG
THIS SONG
(a work in progress)
This song has no words
But this rhythm is our language
A language of princes and princesses
kings and queens, borrowed dreams
borrowed tongues in empty mouths
And what its like to live without -
each other
This is a story untold
You and I, we write the end
If we have no gold or jewels
Let’s close our eyes and just pretend
That this is the first song on earth
And it was made for you
to dance to the sound our heartbeats make
a rhythm only rivaled by the laughter we create
Crash the ground until it quake
Up the volume til it break
Til our arms and legs shake
Because this song is for us.
Baby… I said, this song was created for us
So let’s give in
The beat starts in our souls
And pounds the inside our skin
and fights to escape
just like our feelings
sometimes need to escape
just like we need to escape
these treacherous waves crashing together
clashing notes, crashing thunder
crashing under clashing weather
or not whether, whenever, either, or it doesn’t matter
no rain or snow or sleet let alone no pitter-patter
would keep me from getting to you, baby
and maybe only you can save me
from the pain
by dancing with me in the rain
the storm isn’t over yet
and the dark clouds still remain
So crash the ground until it quake
Raise the volume til it break
Til our arms and legs shake
Because this song is for us.
I said, this song was created for us
I need to love myself again
And I don’t want to have to fight
One day - someday
I promise that this song will come out right
But for tonight…
Just dance with me.
