"A SONG FALLS OUT" by David Guilbault

I pick up my guitar and a song falls out.
I start to tell a story.
Waitin’ and a-wondrin’ what it’s all about.
I guess I shouldn’t worry.

Write what you know.
Write what you see.
Write down the words that need to be.

Let that little story tell itself.
You know it has a rhythm.
Hum it out loud ‘till it jumps and shouts.
And makes you feel like singin’.

Sing what you know.
Sing what you see.
Sing out the tunes that need to be.

That’s my little story, now it’s told.
It came out in a heartbeat.
I know it’s really simple but ya gotta know
That the muses made it sound sweet.

Hear what is blue.
Feel something new.
Show the world that you can tell what’s true.

I pick up my guitar and a song falls out.
