The Drums Move My Heart
The drums move my heart and the 
 Melodies move my blood. 
 The music moves my breath and therefore
 My life. 
 And I look outside and see
 Life. 
 People walking 
 Birds flying 
 Plants growing
 and the Sun shining through a 
 Field of clouds.
 It moves my mind. 
 How does it shine despite the clouds? 
 Because the sun is strong and bright.
 And so am I. 
 I can shine despite my clouds. 
 To spite my clouds. 
 Even the darkest ones. 
 Especially those. 
 And my heart can be a drum
 My blood can be a melody and 
 My breath can be music to 
 Someone's ears.
 And I can walk and
 Fly and 
 Grow and
 Shine despite the clouds.
 And I can be alive.
