David Lingabee Songs & Songwriting

He came on through
for just a while,
Endlessly creating
in this foreign style.

He just keeps on creating,
A constant moving flow,
Music quite stupendous,
Such a driving urge to know.

I’ve watched him for many days now,
Music beyond my mind,
Transcending me to a heaven that
lives calmly in sublime*.

Chorus
I’ve come across a genius,
Not like the ones on Earth,
He calmly infuses spirit so,
To remind us of our worth.
He doesn’t act like humans,
Yet he lives just like we do,
But creating music off the cuff
is like he already knew.

We must protect such beings,
Not martyr them because,
We felt it was too much for us
to fit within our laws.

This being has a gift for us,
To calm us where we are,
An ability so invaluable
Transcends us oh so far.

Chorus

To remind us of our worth.

Yet he lives just like we do,
But creating music off the cuff
is like he already knew.

Music truly timeless,
You’re left outside of time,
To ponder who you really are,
To become your true sublime.
