Change

Here is another of the exercises I did a few weeks ago with The Poetry School.  We had to write against a background beat.  I took the opportunity to chose a Trance track (a good workout one!)  Here is the track and the words are below with approx. timings.

 

             Change

0.16    Change, jump, turn, do
Change, jump, turn, do
Change, (do it) jump, (go to it) turn, (direction) do (take action)
Change, (do it) jump, (go to it) turn, (direction) do (take action)

0.43    Take a chance, quit the reason
Jump the lights, flip the season
Turn heels, turn dreams
Do your thing and quit those teams

 0.57    And

Change, jump, turn, do
Change, jump, turn, do
Change, (do it) jump, (go to it) turn, (direction) do (take action)
Change, (do it) jump, (go to it) turn, (direction) do (take action)

1.27    Turn your life round
Change direction
Jump the start line
Make the connection
Go grab the action
Write your story
Make your music
Grab your glory

 1.41    Life is a canvas, come on make your mark

Splash on bright colours, ban the shade, ban the dark
Don’t wait, life don’t keep
Don’t drift, take a leap
Turn the corner
Turn the stone
Take the wager
Take what you own.

2.09    If you silence all that yearning
It will grip your very heart
It will sneak into your dreaming
And break your little life apart

If you remain always static

And sit upon that goddamn fence
Your life will end in stagnation
Full of algae, full of stench

2.38    Take the lines, jump between them
Reach for gold, don’t believe them
When they say stay the same
Don’t you listen, play your game.

Take the action, take the leap

If you dither prepare to weep
Nothing happens if you leave it
Take that step, come on believe it.

 3.06    Change, jump, turn, do

Change, jump, turn, do
Change, (do it) jump, (go to it) turn, (direction) do (take action)
Change, (do it) jump, (go to it) turn, (direction) do (take action)
