A Song for LA
/I want to write a song for LA
Where I have lived the longest
And one day maybe it will be
The place forever I rest
This piece will be in a major key
Played in an upbeat spirit
To match its sunny character
And cheerful nature
With jovial notes to enfold Disneyland
Exciting melody to link to Hollywood
Delightful variations for its colorful cultures
From various ethnic groups
Bouncing rhythm to connect with
The adjacent ocean and abutting mountains
And if possible
Let the music be played in Hollywood Bowl
To be shared with tens of thousands of people
Let the happy tune prance
Over the surrounding hills
Amble through the SoCal valleys
In a summer night
With breeze dancing along
Stars as celestial audience
