The Song
Thoughts, feelings and happenings leading up to the moment you finally hear your favorite song live.
You’re with friends, the music shuffles to your favorite song
You’re loudest when it comes to singing along,
And you know you’ll never get the words wrong,
And everything is okay.
You wish to someday see this band
A band with whom you’ll always stand
Fantasizing, it would be so grand,
And everything is okay.
You get your tickets to the show
Family says “go with someone you know”
You’re great friends, but only met a few months ago,
And everything is okay.
You’re on a plane to see the guys
Your excitement now intensifies
Between the two of you, there’s no surprise
That everything is okay.
Finally, it’s concert night
Your stomach starts to get real tight
When you see them step into the light
Everything is okay.
They open with a popular one
The crowd lets loose and has some fun
The song now, is just about done,
And everything is okay.
A few more songs and you know you’re done for
Still, more songs, and everybody wants more
But you haven’t heard your song. What’s still in store?
Is everything okay?
The show ends and you don't hear your favorite song
The one to which you truly loved singing along,
You hoped and hoped, but you were wrong,
Everything is not okay.
You get home devastated, but happy
You didn’t hear your favorite song and that was crappy
You miss your boys, and you know it sounds sappy
Will everything be okay?
Later, your friend calls to check on you
To see if you were miserable too
Neither of you know quite what to do
You want everything to be okay.
You listen to their music day in and day out
You catch interviews to learn what these songs are really about
You love them, you love them, there is no doubt
Things are starting to be okay.
Again calls your friend with new things planned
For when you would travel next to see this band
You’re so excited, you can barely stand
And everything is okay.
The second time, you listen close so there’s no mistakin’
And the third time too, but still no bacon
You listen for your song while your heart is breakin’
Everything is not okay.
Over time, you get a job
To make money to see Stephen, Mike, Billy and Rob
The men that make you “musician’s heart” throb
Everything will be okay.
Again your friend calls with a proposition
Suggesting the two of you go on another expedition
To see the band again; your forever mission
And everything is okay.
After a few shows, they start to recognize your faces
You’ve seen them in, now, four different places
Again they enter the stage, and your heart races
Everything is okay.
A few songs in, and the band had stated
They’d play the song for which you so eagerly waited
You can’t contain yourself; your whole body is elated,
And everything is okay.
Among friends, you hear the band play your favorite song
Together, you are all beautifully singing along,
You’re confident you can’t possibly get the words wrong,
And everything is okay.
