The Way the World Works

Sometimes music is meant to be experienced

And not understood

Somethings are more beautiful when thought is not required

Knowledge alone does not make something good.

Chords and notes can be used to pull emotion

A piano can be used as a tool

But chords alone aren’t the only notion

Feelings don’t obey a particular rule.

Understanding how something works, isn’t as valuable as

Knowing in your heart how it makes you feel

Knowing in your mind can make things solid,

Knowing in your soul makes things real.

Music is the language of everything

Rage, Pain, Love, and Fear

Music is the language that reaches all

Even people who can’t hear.

Because everyone can feel it

Feel the waves pass through their bones.

Some can feel it more than others

Some make those waves their home.

Music is all over the globe

In every little bit

And in my mind

Music is everything

And the rest of the way the world works

Is just there to keep us alive to experience it.
