So she's on stage
But there's no audience
She's alone in her thoughts
Reliving the words, the music
She smiles at each drum beat
At each piano melody
At each guitar solo
She remembers the face of every harmony
The song is never over

Her audience is only One
She sings to bring others together
She writes to bless
She has butterflies for friends
She sings songs of greater wisdom
Experience is her composer
Life is her venue
She's found new joys
They give her voice a richer tone

If only her hymns would erase pain
They can't, but they could ease it
She sings songs of comfort
Songs of release
Like she has found
Nothing compares to the freedom
Found in vulnerable expression
She knows no greater joy
Than ministering through her song

So sing with me now, close your eyes, open your soul, feel with your heart and release yourself to the beauty of life's song. Find the joy that is found in sharing your melody, in contributing to the world's harmony -- don't close yourself off and mute your horn, but play the song found on your lips.

If only we could all sing together -- we'd find our harmony's complement each other more than we could ever imagine.
