Music reaches deep inside me
invokes feelings that I need
Fills my head with pleasure
on which my soul can feed

Takes me to another place
immerses me in lakes of sound
free to float or dive deep down
no longer feel earthbound

With skilful hands it clasps my mood
and throws it up real high
Then like a captive bird set free
I spread my wings and fly

The open sky I find before me
has no clouds - no threat of rain
Even gloomy songs uplift me
elated in my new domain

Drug me with euphoric feelings
take me on a carefree ride
Nothing else can so uplift me
nothing else can tap inside

Drench me in its sonic shower
pull me through its magic door
Show me all the disparate pieces
help me in my quest for more
