Soul Song

Inhale and exhale

Renew, release, pursue

Let your breath meet the beat

Hear it sound so sweet

Undisturbed, still, at peace

 

Ignited by force 

Let the chords take you on a melodic journey 

Feel the notes reach out and touch your skin

The bass, the piano, the violin

Pay no mind to the people around you

Only to what is and what has been 

Inhale and exhale

Renew, release, pursue 

Let the songs of the soul

Present to you a new view 

Confined by nothing 

Lose your mind and what you’ve presumed

For when the music hits your heart

You will hear the true tune

So fuck what you heard and fuck what you thought 

For the songs of the soul, cannot be taught

They are alive within you, waiting to be sung 

And when it all feels impossible, it only takes one

Don’t be scared to set yourself free

What lies within your soul 

Is a version of my song in your very own key 

Hear these words. Soak them in

Inhale and exhale once again. 

Renew, release, pursue.

These are my songs of the soul

From me, to you

The longer you hold, the worse it will be

The quicker you’ll slip, and then you will see

You’ll lose touch, you’ll lose sight, you’ll lose it all

Yet the song plays on, to catch you when you fall
