Lyrics or Melody?


Tell me my friend
When a song begins to play
Which do you listen to?
Meaningful lyrics or just the melody played?

Close your eyes my friend
And listen to the calming wind
Do you hear nothing but the wind itself
Or do you hear the words spoken to?

Close your eyes my dear friend
And listen to the beating waves
Do you hear nothing but water lapping
Or do you hear the music that lies within?

Do you see a leaf as leaf
Or perhaps a leaf as a tree?
Do you see her as a figure
Or do you see her for who she is?
