Now I know why they invented music
For dead uncles
And bombed biology tests
To work out your abs in lessons while constantly being pushed
Till the sound you hear is something unimaginable
Something great
That is was music is

Greatness entirely packaged in sound waves
Listening in the music building to hymn
The sopranos dance with flourish
The bass fills the room with their echoing roar
The tenors create those chords that yank at your soul

On those days when all you can do is cry there is music waiting for you
Your iPod will keep you together as you wander the sidewalks
Your instrument will allow you to funnel the emotions right out for all of the world to see
Here I am world, times may get so tough but you cannot get rid of me yet

Talks of cancer and death lead to those of rebirth
Of hearing “get your affairs in order”
And having it mean, “ Get out there! Live your life!”
To forgetting regrets and finally just being free

Music is there when all is wonderful
Celebrating a new love, a good day, a little less wind outside
To blast it in your room and to dance
But that is a different kind of dancing all together,
No one can really hear you or see you
So just move
The chords carry your legs about the room and you spin and you jump and you sing
Most important is to sing
Let nobody and everybody hear your voice tangle into the lyrics
Sing till you are hoarse
Sing till you have sung it all out

Now I know why they invented music
To lead you through that maze that is life
To help you understand it and to understand yourself
Music is that life vest
This is your first jump off that diving board
Hang on so tight and bend your knees
Let go and rocket into the real world
Don’t worry; you most likely will not drown.
