Have you . . . ? I have.

Have you ever listened to a song before,

Letting your soul explore the words?

Have you ever really heard the music,

Letting your soul find meaning in it? 

Have you ever felt your heart dance in time,

Letting your soul learn to spread its shimmering wings?

Have you ever felt the great joy flourish,

Letting your soul take off into the rose-hued clouds? 

Have you ever listened to harmonies and left your life behind,

Letting your soul dance upon the winds of melody?

Have you ever really explored the singer’s voice,

Letting your soul breathe the same breaths as they do? 

Have you ever felt your breath taken away by the beauty,

Letting your soul rise to joyous heights?

Have you ever felt as if you held that joy in,

You’d never feel the same blazing joy again in your life? 

(Instrumental) 

I have listened to a song before,

Exploring the words in depth.

I have really heard the music,

Letting my soul find meaning in it. 

I have felt my heart dance in time,

Showing my soul how to spread shimmering wings.

I have felt the great joy flourish within me,

Causing my soul to take off into the rose-hued clouds. 

I have listened to harmonies, leaving my life behind,

Allowing my soul to dance upon the winds of melody.

I have explored the singers voice,

Alloying my soul to breathe their breaths 

I have felt my breath taken away by the beauty,

Causing my soul to rise to joyous heights.

I have felt that if I held that joy in,

I would never feel that same blazing joy again in my life
