Speed of Sound

by John Barber

Living our lives at the speed of sound

Plugging our ears won't slow it down

A whisper travels as fast as a shout

Shouting louder won't drown it out

We are a bunch of Chuck Yeagers

The liberating thrill of our infant cry

Is still traveling on through the universal sky

Pop in a stick of Beamans and enjoy the ride

Listen to life and let those sounds be your guide.
