Lyrics
A SONG IS BORN
c Maggie Vida, Apr. 5, 2003
Verse 1:
Inspiration lurking ?neath the surface of my mind?.
Waiting for the spark to light the fire?.
Percolating silently, without a trace or sign?
A fleeting thought is captured to admire????.. (Ref.)
Refrain:
And suddenly it happens?. ideas turn into phrase
Surrounded by a melody of form?????.
Words wrapped with intonation, each spoken from the heart?.
(CODA)
Then you realize ?..a song is born?. A song is born
Verse 2:
A flow of steady rhythm ?. unravels and unfolds?
With lines that change expression constantly?.
Momentum?s steep crescendo ?.. when harmony is told
Syncopation fighting to be free?. (Ref.)
Verse 3:
Seasons in the desert, waiting patiently?.no words seem to come at any cost
Seasons soaked with flooding? creating furiously
Afraid imprisoned thoughts will soon be lost?. (to bridge)
Bridge:Digging deep, exhausting?surfaced truth, exhilarating?.. (last ref.)
Coda: A song is born?????????
A song is born????.
