You stand in silence, ready to discover the music that lives within you. Kwame Alexander invites you to quiet yourself and tune into the symphony of sounds surrounding you everywhere. Nature provides the chorus while words pulse with the power of thunder around you. The melody starts as a whisper, then grows into something fuller and richer. Randy Preston joins Alexander to weave together verses that move like music itself. Melissa Sweet adds bursts of color that dance alongside the rhythm of the words. The groove takes hold of you, building until you cannot stay silent anymore. Your soul demands to be heard. This celebration of inner music shows you how to listen for the song that has always been yours, waiting for the moment when you finally let it ring out loud and clear.
