Hearing the Music

Don’t tell me that you’re afraid
To stop living in retrograde
You’ve got a long way to fall
And we’re leading the movement

Those who were seen dancing
Were thought to be insane

But if you’re hearing the music, don’t ever lose it
There’s better acoustics with your head in the clouds
Just keep humming the changes, keeping the faith is
Knowing we’ll make it if we’re singing it loud

Don’t tell me that I’ve got to steel
Myself and forget how to feel
I’ve seen what you did with it all
And there’s room for improvement

Those who were seen dancing
Were thought to be insane
Ain’t it so enchanting
Not having to explain

That you’re hearing the music, don’t ever lose it
There’s better acoustics with your head in the clouds
Just keep humming the changes, keeping the faith is
Knowing we’ll make it if we’re singing it loud

Cynicism has its charms
We'll stay up in open arms
Let them sound their false alarms
We’ll stay up in open arms
