It starts
With a feeling
With a hope
With a dream
It starts
With a look
With a smile
So serene
Until it all comes crashing down
A stranger in your town
And you, you're not around
For no zip code keeps you down
It starts
With a note
With a sound
With a noise
It starts
Just the same
Only the notes
Rearranged
It's all meant to touch your heart
An intangible form of art
With the composers all the same
Only residing under different names
It starts
With a handshake
With small talk
In good taste
It starts
With who you know
Not what you know
Not what you say
But the work is just the same
Repeated tasks to dumb the brain
All so that society can sustain
So nobody can complain
And we all remain
It starts
As an idea
As a reaction
As a group
It starts
With a plan
Then it grows
To be huge
And the grassroots evoke change
When we're tired of the same
When normal is reason to complain
Then it's time to change the game
And not just the name
It starts
As a baby
Then a child
Then a teen
Then it ends
All the same
But the difference
Is the life in between
