What is the universal language?
Is it not music? That soothes and amuses,
That inspires us to movement,
That paints a picture of a thousand words,
That when it’s heard, can move us to love.
Music so expressive, it can make you weep
Sounds so smooth, they can help you sleep.
And what about marches that propel armies,
Keeping their feet as one, with the beat?
A beat that throbs deep in your heart
And calls you apart, to dance or to revolution –
The revolution of the soldier,
Or the revolution of the ballerina’s toes.
Who knows what has been done by the song you have sung
It has called, it has touched, it has moved
Like a bell, it has rung.
But let it love, not hate
Let it not be sung too late
And remember that all can hear it
So draw people near with it
You don’t need a rehearsal
To speak the universal language of music- Just use it!
