I want to be free like Monk

Where structure is not bound
And I express myself
Myself
Myself
Without uttering a single sound

For words from the page
Speak even when unspoken

Just as rhythm finds that place inside you
That no one else can reach
And as for the composer of that rhythm
You wonder why they do not teach

‘Cause their genius is evident
Master
Student
Engineer

Note/chord/vibe

Free
Free
Free like Monk
...and me
