The hand has been raised
and now it is time
we all follow suit
one and two and three and four and
the mark has now been set
it is now in our heads
we count to ourselves
and tap our foot to the beat
one and two and three and four and
we know we are about to start
we hear the chime
that is our cue
now we must enter in
one and two and three and BREATHE
the air begins to flow
we move our fingers
and play as one
and listen to the rhythm of the drum
one and two and three and four and
the music is quite nice
crescendo, we feel the momentum building
BOOM the crash of the cymbal
decrescendo, we are almost done
one.... and.... two.... and.... three.... and.... OFF
we all stop as one
the hand is dropped
and now it is through
we all follow suit
one and two and three and four and
still rings in our head
