A Living Song

Write a song with your life,
A melody sublime,
With cadences and rhyme.
You're a chord progression and
You're the score on a baby grand,
So let the world see
You're a living song

Play that song with your heart;
You need no staged event,
No flawless instrument.
Just play it everywhere you go;
Go on, let those heart-notes flow,
And let the world know
They can sing along

So be a living song,
A grace-imparting tune;
Let it soar above the world's cacophony.
Be a loving song,
And your song will soon
Be the prelude for a worldwide symphony,

Share the song and you'll find
There's a voice in every heart,
And it longs to sing a part
That will blend seamlessly,
Like a river flowing endlessly;
Yes, the world yearns
To sing it loud and strong!

So be a living song,
A grace-imparting tune;
Let it fill the world with hopeful harmony.
Be a loving song,
And your song will soon
Be the prelude for a worldwide symphony
