Piece of Me

My life lies in music, in rhythm and sound

in music and theater, my passion I found

my shyness faded from my face

and I welcomed the stage's comforting embrace

and curtsied during the applause

Music is my every devotion

all that I've been through, it engulfs like the ocean

in tears and in joy and in all my emotion

it motivates me, keeps me in constant motion

Without it, I would be lifeless and joyless

Without it, I could not truly feel sadness

Without it there is no foundation of culture

Without it, there can be no true future

Without it, I would be tragically immune to emotion

Without it, I would be tragically nothing.
