It's not just the piano notes
It's not's its sharps or should I say it's flats
It's not the music sheet
It's obviously not my E major voice
Neither is it how well our voices blend
When the concertmaster says start to
Lady Antebellum - Need You Now

It's not just the Violins
G3, D4, A4, and E5 soothing notes
That keep us playing even when the rest stop
It's not our audiation that keeps as late
Into the night writing,meditating,singing
Laughing at each others crazy lines.
Or your masculine tattooed arms, Strumming the guitar
Neither is it your ability to manipulate your voice to both
Tenor and a Countertenor,so that when the concertmaster says start
To Michael Bolton - When a Man Loves a Woman
It feels like heaven has just opened its doors.

It's not how high I can hit the yala leyo notes
Neither is it my ability manipulate my emotions
So that when the concertmaster says to me Start To
Loren Allred - Never Enough
I give the crowd both my voice and my emotion

It's the memories the two of us make
That lead up to this moment
When the concertmaster says Start
The memories trickle in
The laughs,the anxieties,the fun,the fights
Even the shared pizzas and movie nights
That are all joined with the one thing that we share
Our passion for music,it's culture and giving it life
It's beauty and how freeing and liberating it's words can be
Things we both want to say but really can't
So we use the most basic language we both get
Music
Ngelizwi lakhe ndiyonela
Ngoncumo lwakhe ndiyoneliseka
Ukuhleka kwakhe kuyafudumeza
Ubuqu bakhe benza ndifune ukusondela
Ubukho bakhe benza uvalo
Ngalolonke ixesha unexesha lokusabela
NguMonde lowo
Isandla sakhe asikude ukunceda
BubuNtu obo
Igama lakhe yayifanele nguThando
Leyo isentliziyweni
Engqondweni ungamazi ngobulumko
Leyo isebuchotsheni
Ndithetha ngaye, andithethi naye
Ngokuthetha ngaye bubuncwane
Yena uyazazela, uyazingca
Noba uyamazi, ngesidima
Noba awumazi, ngesithozela
Ubuhle bukaMdali
Ubuhle beNdalo
Ubuhle ngaphakathi nangaphandle
Ubuhle njengesibhakabhaka nolwandle
Igamalakhe yayifanele nguNobuhle
Ndisathetha ngaye
Ngoba umntu akanconywa esiva
