​(Verse 1)

A song is more than a beat, it's a deep, woven story,

The hook that stays put, carrying all of our glory.

You sharpened your pencils, chose the words with such care,

From the TLC anthem that's still floating in the air.

You packaged up feelings in three minutes of Pop bliss,

Every line that you wrote gives us a welcome kiss.

​(Chorus)

Oh, Dallas Austin, thank you for your songs,

The melodies and verses, where every note belongs.

You are the storyteller, placing the poetry just right,

The master of all the hits, shining so strong and so bright.

You write for the ages, your catalogue is pure gold,

For every emotion that your music helped us hold.

​(Verse 2)

From Pink's loud rebellion to the smoothest R&B sound,

You know how to capture the feelings that abound.

You gave Monica the depth that every young heart feels,

You conquered the charts before the world could conceal.

Every song is a mirror showing us who we are,

Your tracks are the soundtrack that outshines every star.

​(Chorus)

Oh, Dallas Austin, thank you for your songs,

The melodies and verses, where every note belongs.

You are the storyteller, placing the poetry just right,

The master of all the hits, shining so strong and so bright.

You write for the ages, your catalogue is pure gold,

For every emotion that your music helped us hold.

​(Bridge)

In Nashville and Atlanta, in the studio, quite still,

You conjured up the hits that gave us such a thrill.

You're the pen behind the vocals, the mind behind the plan,

You made music history, helping woman and helping man.

​(Outro)

Your song keeps on living, from speaker to speaker,

Dallas Austin, you are the true song-seeker.

Thanks for the words!
