Untitled (What is your religion)

Untitled

Verse 1

What is your religion?

Is it s** or music?

Do you worship at the altar of rhythmic beats?

Do you say a pray for electric guitars and violins?

Is your Bible full of parables or interesting lyrics?

Do you study the teachings of Jesus

Or practice soul and funk?

Do you spread the message of the gospel 

Or pass out concert flyers?

Verse 2

You're always sad and tired in a vibrant city

A city full of dynamic colours and exuberant sounds

A kaleidoscope of rainbows and intoxicating grooves

The bass is, unfortunately, missing from your mind

I, however, shall not skip a beat

I'll dance within the rays of the sun

And swing along with the moonlight

I won't clop the blue drop

Withering away like a neglected plant

I'll participate in soul revivals

Learning good notes from past eras

And remixing them with current styles

Remastered and repackaged

Delivering it to the people in the streets 

And in their quiet fortresses

Verse 3

You take everything

Then discard the parts that don't fit in

If it smells like trash

And gives you a rash

Eliminate it from you

If you're frightened, if you're anxious

Then it's not right for you

Burn the old garb

Put on clean attire, then begin anew

The rest if your life is yours to have

It's waiting for you

Pack your bags with lyrics, instruments and a song or two

The masses are weak and desperate

They're waiting for you

Chorus

They say it's going to be epic / They say it's going to be divine / But I won't know until I sense it / In my flesh and bones / I must take a stand / I must move / I've got to be carried away with music / This is my religion / It's the reason I laugh / The reason I breathe day in and day out / As mysterious as galaxies / Full of infinite possibilities / Like a drop in the ocean / And a star in the sky / This is my religion

Outro

You walk into every room feeling lost and blue / You don't know what to do / Haven't got a clue / Your mind is stuck like glue / When you reject all the hues / You don't know what to do / Haven't got a clue / But I do / I do
