Evelin Gomez Meadow Hill School The music takes my soul, takes it through the wind, and around the autumn trees As the Earth turns slowly each song makes me wonder what really goes on while I’m sleeping. As a disco ball shines through my dreams I wish I was awake as the music plays And wish instead of school I could party and dance all day. As one song makes you move and happy, the other makes you cry and sappy. Each song with it’s act, life reacts back. Each tune makes you the way you are…Nothing is better than the feeling of the music’s tune. What music means to me is joyful and happy. It makes your spirit tingle. Whenever you’re sad, always sing to make your day complete.
