From the recording ORKESTRAZZ XVI
Lyrics
A Common Thread
[Verse 1]
In the hum of a cello, in the trumpet's gold tone,
Where the strings weave whispers, we’re never alone.
A saxophone sighs, a flute takes flight,
Music gathers us under one soft light.
[Chorus]
A common thread, a melody we share,
Binding hearts from here to anywhere.
It's a meeting place, a gentle embrace,
Music brings us face to face.
[Verse 2]
In the clash of cymbals, the dance of keys,
We find a language that sets minds at ease.
From the streets to the stage, the rhythm won’t fade,
A tune for every soul that's ever been made.
[Prechorus]
It’s the sound of laughter, the echo of tears,
A bridge between strangers across the years.
[Chorus]
A common thread, a melody we share,
Binding hearts from here to anywhere.
It's a meeting place, a gentle embrace,
Music brings us face to face.
[Bridge]
The pulse of a drum, the lilt of a rhyme,
It beats through the ages, it travels through time.
Like a river it flows, like a star it gleams,
Uniting our hopes, our fears, our dreams.
David Rose
