Is writing not a music?
Can I not sing these words?
Is the pencil scratch not a metronome,
Guiding my voice as one of a birds?
Is poetry not a statement,
As you say a song may be?
Are lyrics not an art form?
Can I not let these expressions free?
Shall I sing these words
Then if I cannot write along?
Suppose I end this outlet of mine
And carol a termless song?
Who would teach our kin to descant
Or merely to speak a thing?
As long as I have words and a voice
My poetry in verse I’ll sing.
So these words that we call lyrics
Are never to be read,
Are never to be sang aloud,
Or even to be said?
It all seems so superfluous
When they tell us that we’re wrong,
Then about face and power up your stereo
To sing to your favorite song.
Shall I sing these words
Then if I cannot write along?
Suppose I end this outlet of mine
And carol a termless song?
Who would teach our kin to descant
Or merely to speak a thing?
As long as I have words and a voice
My poetry in verse I’ll sing.
Do these words not mean a thing?
Am I wasting my life, day by day?
I wouldn’t if I could ever not sing.
Is this enough to harry me today?
Shall I sing these words
Then if I cannot write along?
Suppose I end this outlet of mine
And carol a termless song?
Who would teach our kin to descant
Or merely to speak a thing?
As long as I have words and a voice
My poetry in verse I’ll sing.
