(Per Berthelsen, 1994)
One day
I was sauntering around
I started hearing a new tune
Rolling inside me
Sky was blue — breathtaking
Joy fills me up and made me shout
— Come on with me!
I started running home
— I wanted my friends to hear the tune
They got most surprised when I shouted:
Get up!
Get out in the free and listen to my tune
And tune in with me!
Life is beautiful
When you are free to play music
It cures you for all kinds of frustrations
And make you feel fine
Feel happy!
Come along!
Play the tune!
Cheer up!
