Music is my safe place

Music is my home 

It sneaks in past my eardrums 

And settles in my bones 

When I dance my breathing steadies

I feel confident and free 

Both are things I rarely ever feel 

If it’s not surrounding me

My heart has its own rhythm 

And it always craves a mate 

Anything to help inspire it

To beat beyond its gates 

I am a mover, I’m a shaker 

My hips – and heart – alike

Music wakes me in the morning 

And also keeps me up at night 

It’s a universal language 

One thing the whole world shares, it’s true 

It’s what binds my parts together 

When my own world comes unglued
