Story behind the song
I wanted to write a choral piece but I could not find lyrics I was happy with. For better or for worse I wrote the lyrics myself.
Lyrics
Sing Freely, Speak Easy, Bring magic to me. Your phrases and accents Fill me with glee. Dance Lightly, Hold Tightly, Your life is my dream. Your chords and your tempo Exist as my being. Sing Freely, Speak Easy, Music is my soul! Dance Lightly, Hold Tightly, Dreams make us whole! Live Wisely, Dream Well, Let music be your guide. Our life and our music Flow with the tide!
