The Music Wouldn't Play

The Music Wouldn’t Play
By Paul McCann

The band came on the stage with the spotlights in their face  

the audience began to rage jumping all over the place

the singer stood alone beside the microphone

but the  music wouldn’t play , at the concert hall

in doomsday   

The music wouldn’t play and the day had come along

when people were turned away and they couldn’t sing a song 

In the silent tears, on an empty stage , the beggar couldn’t pay ,

for a war to wage on the want there was when the music wouldn’t play

 The band begged for an ear but the audience turned away

The singer had no song and oh will there ever come the day

When the world has all gone deaf in a time when there’s no time left

With no music to be shared and no encore to be heard .        

The music wouldn’t play and the day had come along

when people were turned away and they couldn’t sing a song 

In the silent tears, on an empty stage , the beggar couldn’t pay ,

for a war to wage on the want there was when the music wouldn’t play

tell me , what ever would we do if that day fell on me and  you

what could we say when the music wouldn’t play ,

would it be ok  if the music wouldn’t play ,
