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?
