Songs of Hope   

 

Sounds crafted can breathe life into the air,
Yet others' tones can pierce and wound the soul.
I lead with words, aiming to make things whole.
A paradox where I could cause a scare.

By melodies I shape, the world will change,
Awakening the dreams that lie within.
Echoes of freedom, destiny will win.
Resound through our hearts, where hopes now in range.

Life’s cadence dances to my humble tune,
Yet shadows lurk with dissonance and doubt.
To lead, to follow, weaving in and out.
In every note, the promise of a boon.

Through harmonies, the future we compose,
In every sound, a new world to disclose.

Freedom song conspirator

Sounds I make give rhythm to life
Others make sounds that cuts it like a knife 
I give orders but others command me
Don't fall behind and don't ever disagree.
It was by the sounds I create
That made the freedom song awake.
Giving life a chance to echo
Through the steps of those that follow.
