I am only a sound.
Easy to muffle,
Easy to stifle;
Easy to ignore
when it isn’t The note quite desired.
I am only a sound,
So easily lost
When you don’t understand
Why it is That you no longer hear me.
I am only a sound,
So easy to lose
In the hustle and bustle
Of crowded rooms With briefcases and ties.
I am only a sound;
I still echo.
Through walls, along streets
And across oceans.
My sound is welcomed by crowds.
I am only a sound.
I am only
one
Single
Voice –
But I am the sound of many.
