Words for a Song without Rhythm

Rolling
Tumbling
Music on the lips, in the ears, through the heart
Bump bump, thump,
Smack your knee in time to the radio
You shake my body, you make me sing,
However badly it may sound
Jumping, twirling, leaping spinning – careful, don’t fall down!
Don’t try to rhyme, just feel the rhythm –
Don’t try to balance, just fall into grace –
Start right now, take that some how
Let the beat carry your soul
Let the drum take you way
How can listening be so grand
How can wishing feel this bad
Don’t get stuck!
Let loose,
Wiggle your toes!
A lost green cap,
A silver snap
A dot on the map
We took a nap
Under the trees
Reminds me of those days –
The simple life
The easy ways
The rays of sunlight peeking through –
Reminds me of you.
