Songsmith

	作曲 : Gardner
	A writer like a blacksmith-forging works of iron
	The jagged edges tempered into solid scripts for hire
	Solitary craftsman at his console merging audio discrete
	An ever changing soundscape sets the stage; the twains shall meet
	In a union strong
	Just like a working stiff
	He is a songsmith
	In a strange synthesis
	"restoration" announced
	It's the new riffs that count (no mainstream bore playing 13/4...)
	Break out of silence-complete the curve
	The songsmith maintaining his avant-garde nerve
	Innovation his palette-the urge and the test
	Adrenalin flowing, he can't even rest unless-
	Harmonic elements and special fx
	Conform to all his whims, an interpretive text
	But he'd sing for the masses if he just had the time
	With a vocal ideal and a long lyric line
	He is a songsmith
	Break out of silence-complete the curve
	The songsmith maintaining his avant-garde nerve
	Innovation his palette-the urge and the test
	Adrenalin flowing, he can't even rest unless-
	Harmonic elements and special effects
	Conform to all his whims, an interpretive text
	And he'd sing for the media if he had equal time
	With a vocal ideal and a long lyric line
	He is a songsmith
	It's not too late for the songsmith
	The curtain opens for creativity
	Give a backseat role to conspiracy
	Hear the signature and the melody
	Of the author flow in polyphony
	Will the writer last?
	Will his trade survive?
	In a world of commerce
	Can he hope to thrive?
	If his final sequence is not contrived
	Keep him honest now
	Just to keep him alive
	We need the songsmith...
