Do you hear what I hear


Horns are honking

People rushing

But no one ever stops

 

To hear the songs

The girls on the bus

Always quietly hums

 

And no one stops to dance

When his iPod is turned up too loud

And the surrounders can hear every note

 

Or the singer on the street corner

Not asking for a profit but

To listen to his thoughts before they explode

 

And people only sing

When their audience is a steering wheel

Or the tiles on the bathroom floor

 

Constantly resisting the urge

Cause they know every word

Of their favorite song when it comes on at the grocery store

 

But maybe if they'd bust a move

Or snap their fingers 

Or lip sync all the words

 

They'd realize that its a much happier

A much more excited 

And a much more musical world

 

So while there is war 

And cancer and illness

All things that need our devotion

 

If I could change one thing

I'd let everyone embrace the music

And set the world in motion
