If you could go to any point in time
What would it be
For me it would be when our ancestors first discovered music
I'd want to hear the melody
~
Were they beating sticks on rocks
Were they imitating the birds song
Did one of them just start to hum
Did anyone else sing along
~
Did they only have a tune
Did someone try to add grunts to go along
I'd want to watch it all in fascination
Only as an observer after all
~
From those humble beginnings
I could see how something so powerful came to be
The power of a melody to make us happy or sad
To completely alter our entire world view
With nothing but sounds
I'd love to see how it all started
When man first created song
