There’s a song down in the ocean
A song high in the sky
A song deep in a canyon
that can swim and fly
and I will travel my whole life to find it
or I will wait here my whole life until it comes to me
There’s a song in every traffic jam
in every subway car
A song in a crowded theater
or in the emptiest bar
and I will go out every night to find it
or I will wait here all my life until it comes to me
A song you can rely on
A song that takes your breath away
A song based on a heart-to-heart
A song for what you cannot say
There’s a song in every peaceful thing
In every act of violence
A song in every melody
or moment of silence
and I will pledge my life to finding it
or I will wait here my whole life until it comes to me
There’s a song in every hotel room
and every grain of sand
A song in every nodding head
and every shaken hand
and I will travel far and wide to find it
or I will wait here all my life until it comes to me
There’s a song in every movie screen
A song in every laptop screen
A song in every iPhone screen
A song in every screen
and I will stay in every night to find it
or I will go out every night until it comes to me
A song written in solitude
A song composed with friends
A song less than a minute long
A song that never ends
There’s a song in every instrument
A song in every voice
A song in every insistence
and misbegotten choice
And I will live my life trying to find it
or I will wait here all my life until it comes to me

Shell

This shell of a man
You picked up off the sand
Put his face to your ear
To see what you could hear
Some heavy breathing
maybe a heart still beating
A voice that gives
you only expletives
This shell of a man
You picked up off the sand
Took him back to your chair
To see what was there
His sailboat was rocked
And he became landlocked
Now that you've found him
Can you teach him to swim?
Is he the last of his kind
or is he easy to find?
Will he crawl away from you
like sand creatures do?
Is he strange and ethereal
or is he mating material?
Would you fall in love
if he asked you to
and let this shell of a man
sing to you?
