Without Music Songtext
von Carolyn Arends

This was meant to be a melancholic song
A litany of all that′s gone wrong
But the melody took over, and it started to soar
'Til it wasn′t melancholic anymore

I was going to write a cynical verse
'Cause the bad just seems to keep getting worse
But the notes found their own rhythm
And they started to dance
'Til my cynicism didn′t stand a chance


"Without music, life would not be fair"
I heard someone say
Well God knows there′s injustice everywhere
But the music will not go away

"Without music, life would not be fair"
I heard someone say
Well God knows there's injustice everywhere
But the music will not go away

So I guess this is my song for all the ones
Who keep singing as the world comes undone
It′s like a broken hallelujah, their melodies soar
'Til the world′s not quite so broken anymore

Yeah, like a rumour of glory, our melodies soar
(Soar, melodies soar)
And the world's not quite as hopeless anymore
