Ain't Nobody

Cocooned in the darkness
warm blankets shielding you
from a reality you cannot fathom

it hits you

no one comes to save you

Shedding covers
you stand up and
dance
your way out the door
into the sunlight

feeling the music
inside your heart
ain't nobody
playing but you now
solo

Lost until the beat
echos back
drum
sax
bass
guitar

Choir
raise the voices
ain't nobody
can't sit still for this
we all be dancing now...
ain't nobody
still
ain't nobody
quiet
ain't nobody
accepting this reality
as it is
ain't nobody
not trying to make it
all it can be

musically delightful
layered, textured
full of grace

ain't nobody
not needing that

ain't nobody
cocooned hopelessly
waiting
cause
ain't nobody
but you
to do this thing...
