The Grand Chorus: Worlds apart

 

Tales fill the air

Of a wonderful bird,

Who would sing the world 

To sleep at night;

The strong and the mighty 

Would stop to dance

And all the world’s worries

Are laid aside.


Like a piece of rare gem 

Well sought after 

By Princes and Kings,

For that colourful bounce

So fair and rare;

A thing, men will kill for

And others ridden 

For a chance to be the boss.


Your nightly calls 

Would reach all ears,

The young and the old

Would feel the mood,

The strong and the mighty 

Will pause to listen

As the rich and poor 

Who were once worlds apart

Now dine together

In warm embrace.


On the chair’s edge

They’ll sit and cheer,

The song that goes on 

In the hearts of men,

Bridging the worlds once apart,

Bringing all hearts as one

Who now wait for that moment.


Teasing and laughing

As the tension may rise,

Forgetting all worries and malice;

The moment when all hearts

In unison would jump

And the entire globe would vibrate

At the grand chorus ‘A GOAL’.

WHO PAYS THE POOR LENDS HIS MAKER In humble dwellings where poverty weaves, Where hope and despair dance like fallen leaves, A tale emerges,...
