This little poem came to me like a download from beyond just minutes after seeing the flying singing cat logo I’d been dreaming of come to life. It pretty much sums up everything I think and feel and want to say to you about what Vocal Awakening is. Thank you for reading it, and know that every word comes directly from my heart to yours.
Music is Magic
by Ruth Levy
Music is magic
So, let yourself sing
say YES to the joy
your unique voice will bring
If you long to sing
life is short, so don’t wait
Don’t worry ‘bout stuff
like your age or your weight
You’ll rise above fear
Soar high through the air
like a cat with a mic
and a crown in her hair
Be the star that you are
the one hiding inside
Believe in yourself
Let your heart open wide
Your voice matters
In fact, it’s as special as you
Like a flower you’ll bloom
beautiful, real and true.
Free your body and mind
sing the song in your soul
there’s no better way
to feel happy and whole.
You don’t need fame or fortune
You don’t need to impress
you don’t need to be perfect
you don’t need to be blessed
All you need to sing better
is some tips and some tools
you don’t have to follow
music industry rules
You get to decide
You get to choose
when you’re true to yourself
there’s no way to lose
So be gentle and kind
as you go on your way
be brave and have courage
sing your heart out each day.
Music is magic
so let yourself sing
with help from your friends
at Vocal Awakening.
