lyrics

Celebrate Life © William Metts
Down from the mountains, up from the hollers
rolling along on the plains,
I hear voices, Sirens and Muses.
They are calling my name.
Saying Sing with me, Play with me
Dance along with me too.
Use fingers and strings, sticks and skins
Don’t matter. We’ll celebrate life with you

Floating on the ocean
or drifting on the jet stream,
echoing deep from within the forest,
or bubbling in a cool mountain stream. They say
Sing with me. Play with me.
Dance along with me too.
Use hollowed out reeds. Shake gourds with beads.
Don’t matter, we’ll celebrate life with you

INSTRUMENTAL
BRIDGE

I heard those voices long ago
when I was just a boy
I listened, let my fingers dance
opened my heart and mouth
and was consumed by joy


From the country front porch,
or the juke joint on the delta
or the street corner in the city
the Spirit of song is calling my name
saying sing loud, or soft and pretty but just

Sing with me. Play with me.
Dance along with me too.
Young or old, bring heart and soul.
Don’t matter we’ll celebrate life with you.

Young or old, bring heart and soul.
Don’t matter we’ll celebrate life with you

about

Bill Metts Cape Coral, Florida

I have been playing guitar and singing for nearly fifty years now. I Started with American Folk and Blues tunes and finger- style guitar. Had a run in with a Classic Rock band for 6 years or so and I sure was glad when that ended. I spent 15 years playing in nursing homes doing standards from the 30’s and 40’s. Now I mostly write. You will see a bit of all the above in my songs. I hope you like. ... more
