If and when I danced, I danced to their tune
Their pied piper play, took my worries away
I found a new appeal, a new way to see, a new way to breathe
I moved to their wavelengths, saw my own escapes
It all changed when another came along
He flitted and flew, sang his own song
I tried to change, make them see my range
But among all other things, they found me strange
I escaped the music, at last, finding a tune not quite so crass
Moving along my musical road, I listened to my song and never slowed
It slipped a leap deep within, let others see me spin and grin
It found me, this strange escape, found a much more fluid shape
I hear my own chords now and then, hear it in others who almost find their zen
But I don’t try to change for them, I’ll never allow my song to change again
