And the Band Plays

One, two, three

And the band plays the rhythm, and the melody's so fine

High voices singing, they get me every time

The music, it takes us and lifts us up so high

And the band plays the rhythm, gets us dancing every time

At times we're feeling lonely, little broken in our ways

Struggling for direction, lost in empty days

We seek out redemption, in places we can't know

Keep music around you, it'll show you where to go

There's joy in the needle as it drops into the wax

The crackle of the speakers as they await the opening tracks

You feel your soul arising, anticipate the joy

It's been that way forever for every girl and every boy

And the band plays the rhythm, and the melody's so fine

The high voices singing, they get me every time

The music, it takes us and lifts us up so high

And the band plays the rhythm, gets us dancing every time, yeah

The years rolling past us, but the feeling's still the same

Our memories embedded, our history in the name

Of our music collection, just like a dear old friend

They're there to elevate us right until the end

And then the band plays the rhythm, and the melody's so fine

The high voices singing, they get me every time

The music, it takes us and lifts us up so high

And the band plays the rhythm, gets us dancing every time

The music, it takes us and lifts us up so high

And the band plays the rhythm, gets us dancing every time

And the band plays the rhythm, gets us dancing every time

And the band plays the rhythm, gets us dancing every time
