What If......Support Music in Our Schools

Lyrics

1. Lennon?s Basement 3:55
(William Manchester)

Verse 1:
There?s really not a time I remember, not listening to the radio, what if those songs never existed, locked in a basement or thrown by the road.

Chorus:
What if Lennon, never left the basement. What if Hendrix was just one of the guys. What if Dylan never talked to strangers. Our music needs to breathe for it, to change our lives.

Verse 2:
Think back to any one moment, words of a song will come to mind, in our hearts they live for ever, when music breathes, it never dies.

Verse 3:
Music?s known as a healer, it helps us through the roughest of times, it stirs our souls and moves us to action, it helps us win, the hardest fights.

Verse 4:
Now would we have ever come together, or found our place in the sun, would these times ever be changing without the music to move us along.
