Where has the music gone that
spoke about the world,
and cornered us with its
truth and helped us sift the lies?
Where has the power gone that shook
the airwaves with the conviction that
this world needed to move and
there was another way to groove?
Have we sold our soul to the devil?
Have we all become blind?
Is it all about the money and fame,
while most struggle to make a living?
Where has the music gone that
rifted the heart and lifted the soul
above this ordinariness to what
we might or could become?
Where has the music gone?
The dreams, the illumination!
