One Song... Glory

One song
Glory
One song
Before I go
Glory
One song to leave behind
Find one song
One last refrain
Glory
From the pretty boy front man
Who wasted opportunity
One song
He had the world at his feet
Glory
In the eyes of a young girl
A young girl
Find glory
Beyond the cheap colored lights
One song
Before the sun sets
Glory - on another empty life
Time flies - time dies
Glory - One blaze of glory
One blaze of glory - glory
Find
Glory
In a song that rings true
Truth like a blazing fire
An eternal flame
Find
One song
A song about love
Glory
From the soul of a young man
A young man
Find
The one song
Before the virus takes hold
Glory
Like a sunset
One song
To redeem this empty life
Time flies
And then - no need to endure anymore
Time dies
The door...

An artist has a painting hanging in a gallery. More than likely, the artist is dead and cannot tell us about his work so it's up to us to interpret what the artist was thinking when he created his art. We see something in the painting. We see pain, love, sorrow, happiness et cetera. Art is more than just seeing what's in front of you, you must look at what's behind the colors, what's inside the canvas. I think the same holds true for music too. Music is art as well. A form of expression where we can hear the artists' pain, love, sorrow, happiness et cetera. Now we must learn to hear what's behind the music, what's inside the music and lyrics.

I was walking Solomon tonight in a light snow. Really cold outside. The night was very quiet but for the crunching of the frozen ground under Solomon's feet. Then, out of nowhere, a song eased into my head. ONE SONG, GLORY from RENT. Suddenly I felt myself entering into the song. How many times have I listened to the song, the whole musical, and taken it at face value. The colors of the song swam in my mind, yelling its definitions at me! One Song.

One Song. Glory. We have time on earth to create one good song. One deed. One song before I go. One thing to do before I die. One song before the sun sets on another empty life. Don't let life be empty. Perform one song in a blaze of glory before leaving! The end of the song is interrupted by a knock on the door. Don't let the song be interrupted by a knock, by something in life that will prevent the song from being sung. Sing as if no one is listening.
