The Sound of Music

The sound of music pierces the night
A strong sweet sound of cheer

Though simple and common
It is like an arrow through the blight
Resonating through the chasms of the pit

It is the sound of defiance
It gives way to no daily troubles
Nor does it bow to the woes of the world

It leaps across valleys, across mountains of time
Bringing back memories of the old, and the good

It stops for no barrier
Slows down for no power

Bringing to me the sound of music
