Hummingbird


 

One Melody

One Rhyme

One Rhythm

One Note

It takes but a few seconds to change someone’s life

 

Be Honest

Be Kind

Be Humble

Be Heard

Break down their barriers;

allow them to fight.

 

Catharsis evoked

Barriers Crumble

I wrote the words

I sang the notes. . .

To let the world discover that they are not alone.

To give a new definition of what can be “Home.”

 

You seek fame and fortune?

Why, what for?

I’ll show you something real once I get my foot in the door

This mind can’t be bottled for it longs to be heard

Longs to spread a few “enlightened” words

You could say I am a teacher,

though a student for some,

trying to spread knowledge amongst Guitars and Drums.

Just feel the Rhythm

Just move to the Beat

Listen to the Words we are too afraid to speak

 

A change is among us

It lingers in the air

My Voice echoes in it

In my dreams I am there

 

Let open your eyes

Whilst they close to the world

Music: On

World: Off

I shall not be disturbed

 

It is not only my life that will change, but yours;

Provoked by humanities infinite doors.

For I have seen so much

And my mind loves to ponder

All of the darkness as well as the wonder

 

Those who stood by my side shall not be forgotten

If I ever do get to play Madison Square Garden

For you are the forces that have gotten me here

With your passion for life

And for knowledge

With your listening ears

 

One Melody

One Note

One Rhyme

One word

Forget Famous and Fortunate

What I long to be is Heard

So give me a chance

You won’t regret if you do

Give me a chance

To do what I love to do
