"IF MY LIFE WAS A SONG"
by Becky Hemsley
by Becky Hemsley
If my life was a song
Then I wonder who’d listen Who’d fall in love With the music I’d written?
Then I wonder who’d listen Who’d fall in love With the music I’d written?
Who’d hate the chorus -
The words on repeat?
Who’d feel my rhythm
And dance to the beat?
Who’d want to alter
My pitch and my tone?
Who’d only listen
In secret, alone?
If our lives are all songs
Then perhaps we should listen
More closely to what
Other people have written
And we’ll hear the pitch
Of their highs and their lows
The change as the music
Gets faster then slows
We’ll learn all their words
And we’ll know when to sing
And when to be quiet
And not say a thing
We’ll know all their rhymes
And repeated refrains
We’ll listen to them
And they might do the same
They might learn the lyrics
And chords to our track
And when we sing our song
Then they might sing it back
And right at the moment
They echo our words
We’ll realise just how much
We need to be heard
