What's That Sound

Dion Dion

It was born along the southern country highways
Robert Johnson gave it pulse on the backboard stairs
Hey Billy and Hank williams poured their pain in
While Chuck and Little Richard drew the stairs

We felt the fat man's iris from New Orleans
When Jerry Lee came dancing down on the keys
He would event a blessing with a purpose
And the flash of Elvis brought us to our knees

They said, what's that sound?
Did it knock you down? (what's that?)
It's a healing harmony
Comes from you and me
What's that sound?

Oh diddle dee with the coast is land that you
And BB made sweet love to his receive
When a plane crashed his body down in Iowa
Ray charles really showed us how to feel

It more town ignited new flame
Didn't dylan force us all to think
And is it any wonder steve you gave it snow
Seen a ton of welling on the brain

What's that sound?
Did it knock you down?
It's a healing harmony
Comes from you and me
What's that sound? (what's that?)
Knock you down

Can't you hear the fresh sound of the beatles?
Sending music in the foreign zones
Followed by a transit landing crossing
The kinks, the who and the rolling stones

Children brought our deals and flowers westward
To their general paradise along the bay
Jimmy, Janis, Otis breaking all the rules
One driving force that woke on monterey
One driving force that woke on monterey

Simon's trouble bridge linked us together
Our general was jt's easy grace
Let's have a little ride to shadow stillness
We could touch the pain on molly's face

Then joni mitchell painted using language
A palette blessed with woodstock nation stars
Harry chafed and had a heart to feed the world
And eric spent the night with his guitar

Hey, what's that sound?
Did it knock you down?
It's a healing harmony
Comes from you and me
What's that sound?

Elton john awakened this new decade
See the village old and jackson brown
Mic of furnished rhythm, barney eddard's line
Springsteen spirit gave it sound

Louie took us down to darkest alleys
Through streets that echoed year two, and john depp
Tracy chapman's simple stories told us
Of people that we never can forget

What's that sound?
Did it knock you down, down, down, down, down?
It's a healing harmony
Comes from you and me
What's that sound? (what's that?)
Knock you down?

Genesis of earth, united sea
Crumbled walls broke through our indoors
It sang john cougar fraud, rang van halen loud
Sent down deep diplomats to wanton shore

Then willie lit his candle in a rainstorm
Thousand rebel rockets came to share
They worked better and changed us all forever
A human symphony that filled the air

What's that sound?
Did it knock you down?
It's a healing harmony
Comes from you and me
What's that sound?

What's that sound?
Rocking in a free world
Yeah
Rockin' in the free world
You better stop children
What's that sound
Everybody look, what's going down?
