Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
The narrator imagines music as the foundation of language, relationship and the universe itself. That expansive belief is tested by a lover's departure and questions he cannot answer. An offered hand and a promised song of paradise bring the cosmic argument back to the intimate hope of finding a way together.

Lyrics
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr
WITHOUT MUSIC Without Music, there never would have been a Song Without Music, nobody would know Right from Wrong Without Music, there wouldn't even be a Universe Even in the Bible, where it Lays it all right on the Line God Spoke to us so long before the Water ever turned to Wine The Universe was in The Word, and that Word was to be Divine Without Music, you wouldn't even be a Friend of mine If you're not ready, I will take you by the hand I'll hold you steady, this won't be no one night stand If you will have me, then I want to be your man But, Without Music, we’ll never Find the Promised Land Just yesterday, the Sun was Shining Brightly I was on my way, and I was so Excited When you went away, this old Heart was Ignited Can we Bless this Day, when our two Hearts are Divided? Please don't look away, for I do not have the Answer On another Day, I'm the Song and you're the Dancer If you Run Away, I will Find you in the Hollow There's so much to say, when we both wake up tomorrow If I must beg, or steal or borrow Without Music, there never would have been a Song Without Music, Nobody would know Right from Wrong Without Music, there wouldn’t even be a Universe There would not be Melody, or even any Words Please Come Along and Don’t Think Twice A Universe of Fire and Ice In Golden Fields of Edelweiss I'll Sing a Song of Paradise *********
