WITHOUT A SONG....

Without a song…

Without a song,
The path will never bend,
Without a song,
The night will never end.

Without a song,
The evil will never change,
Without a song,
The weak have no chance.

Without a song,
The humble will never dream,
Without a song,
The weak will never team.

Without a song,
The gardeners will never tend,
Without a song,
Their long days will never end.

Without a song,
The sick will never rise,
Without a song,
The tide will always rise.

Without a song,
The old will never rest,
Without a song,
Their best will never be best.

Without a song,
The hopeful will never hope,
Without a song,
The lost will never get home.
