The First Song

Breathe in,

and then let it out

Don't forget to 

open your little mouth

Keep listening to the sounds you hear inside 

break apart

you can't make it stop

and you can't go back to the start 

the start the start the start

Let go,

of all you have and hold

Don't regret

surrender your self control

Remember the tune you lose

is still inside of you

You can't ever give up,

no you can't change the way you move

you move you moved you move

From the place where you learned

to be seen

not heard

look pretty but don't sing a word

lip synch

the lines

your voice is ugly, you will be terrified

so hold

your tongue

deep inside

and believe desire is a lie a lie a lie

Once they told you

keep it down

Now it's time to get out

from underneath the ROCK

what are you hiding from?

Step into the light, let the shadows come!

Breathe out,

then raise your voice and sing

Waves of sound come crashing down

evaporating

Nature has her way - 

keeps coming around again, keeps coming around again

keeps coming around again

Until you understand

the choice you're contemplating

has already been made.
