I don't want to live 
in a world without melody 
sometimes the rhythmic din 
of society is too much for me 
but purpose is prioritized these days, 
the goal is win the prize 
there's a sleeping resonance we hold, 
through which we're unified 
so let it out! don't just get lost in the crowd 
no one can deter you from your own path 
there's no trip too remote 
from which you can't come back 
and I've got this hunch about you and me 
none of us are ready 
for a world without melody 
melody is the key, 
it's the surest way 
to unlock your individuality 
melody is the key, 
it will set you free! 
don't disrelish harmony, 
community will make you whole 
work and understanding are the chords 
way deep within your soul 
they only need to be struck once, 
and the vibrations swell and spread 
but if we mute them they decay, 
our sensibilities are dead 
so let it out! don't just be one of the crowd 
hesitance and diffidence will do you in 
and your soul doesn't care 
for social medicine 
and I've got this hunch 
about you and me 
none of us are ready 
for a world without melody 
melody is the key, 
it's the surest way 
to unlock your individuality 
melody is the key, 
it will set you free! 
and I know, 
together we could change the world 
just you and me 
but I won't live without melody
