You Don't Know Me

I am many things
fleeting colours, sounds
sometimes remembered –
I get around
But you don’t know me

My outward face
the never-shifting mask
rarely seen beyond
and few who ask
But you don’t see me

I am darkness
I am pain
but beauty
for those who remain
But not
you

In blindness
you stumble away
I set you free
You will never
know
me.

The Music Group

Dancing whilst it is light
playing our days away
singing a beautiful song
while the audience smiles and sways

And come the night time
we'll play some more
letting the colours flow further
and then dancing till we’re sore.

For every frown
there comes a smile
even if sometimes
you must wait a while

But for everyone
young or old
at the end of the day
pleasant stories are told.
