we are the songs we sing
allie merrick

we are the stories we write
we are the songs we sing
our tales are told
with words we mold
our content is our king

we are the words we scribe
we are the lyrics we lift
stating once with pen
then with voice again
our gab is our greatest gift

we are the poems we construct
we are the messages we make
our value in voice
with intention by choice
its our words that claim our stake

In a sense, yes, but in a sense the songs sing us. We identify with songs. I remember once when I was very down and out and emotionally drained, I heard an old song called "I Feel Like Some Old Engine." I didn't know the artist, but found the song (after about forty years--no joke) on the internet and got a copy through iTunes. It was a song that made me, influence me, expressed me . . . sang me, you might say

That's incredible, David. After so many years to hear the song that sang you. So very beautiful! I'm so glad you shared this. Cheers to singing to the world and to listening as the world sings back.
