Analysis of Music Can…



                           RELAX, just let it all go
                     Let the wind take hold of you.
                            Let your soul run free
                         And don’t ever look back.

Breathe, nothing can suffocate you now.
                    No longer will you be tied down
                    By problems beyond your grasp
                           Don’t ever worry again.

Cry, so you can lose it all-
                           All your fear and anger.

Sob, until all you can do is smile,
                          Believe me it’s worthwhile.

SING, let the monster inside out,
                             Let the pain finally stop.

You’re Ready!
                               You can take control.

Take control yet lose it.
                               Confused? Don’t be!
                                 Control your pain
                              Don’t let it control you.

But lose the control you have
                            Over your inner emotions.
                        There is this ball filled with fire
           Growing in your mind, heart, body and soul.

Music CAN release it
                                      And believe me,
                                             It’s time.

It’s time for you to GROW UP
                    And be who you are supposed to be.

GO FOR IT!
