A song is a story

Told from the heart

Each lyric, each melody

A brilliant work of art.

In its simple beauty

Are hidden memories

Of its beloved creator

And life's bitter-sweet intricacies.

To many it's a sound track

That gets them through the day,

Or a blessed life raft

That shows the heavenly way.

And when our savior calls us

To our mansions fair,

I'll meet you by the river,

Still singing over there.
