One Song

I have seen song bring together

two people who never knew

what they didn’t have in common

was all it took to say “I do.”

I have seen a gentle tune

heal the deepest wounds

created by a hate so deep

that all mankind should be doomed.

I have seen a heartbeat pulse

to a beat that shakes the soul

that once lay dormant

just waiting to become whole.

With all that music can do

there still exists one song

that drove us two so far apart

pointing out all that’s wrong.
