Have you ever needed to talk to someone and there was noone to talk to and the language you need to speak is known to few? To be able to share ones thoughts through music and verse is fulfilling beyond expression.


This song has a name now, it is titled "A Different Drummer". because it tells of life just as far from the norm as Henry Thoreau at Walden Pond.

When I was young I heard a song, it talked to me the whole night long
It talked of life and a way to live, I have the memory still today
It spoke to me and helped me to see, that life and living are different things
In life we must move forward, no matter what the cost
In living there is loveliness and done right can give us wings

The room is full of people, they're standing everywhere.
They laugh and smile and carry on, and yet you feel alone
Could it be that you're different, or perhaps they just don't know
The beauty of the world you're living in, or the places that you go.
Have they lived the song that talks about an Angel in the Morn
Has a singer changed a song to say hello
Did the woman of your dreams sing a slow sad goodbye song
That hit you like a hammer, and then she just was gone?

There are songs that say forever, and the ones that say we're blue
And the ones that make us laugh when we are down
Lots of songs are silly, they just help us pass the time
The writer, he was drunk that day, and just had to make a rhyme
Sometimes a song can hurt us, it can cut you like a knife
God bless the songs that heal our hearts once more
Each song can make a memory, or say the things you cannot say
They make the life we have worth living, and light the darkness of our day

As the music starts, the room begins to swirl
We're in another world, and I want to talk to you girl
Look into my eyes when the words say what you want to say
Then think about the things you learned today
Hear the music and you will know my dreams
It's not just words but so much more it seems
Yes, a magic carpet of the feelings it conveys
It's a lasting bond to hold us, it will last for all our days
