Skipping the Bells
arabesk, calming, soft strings with oud and gentle percussion

Lyrics
Verse
The clock is ticking slow like honey
Windows breathe the light so sunny
Books are waiting
But so am I
A bird sings free beneath the sky
Chorus
Skipping the bells
The world’s my teacher
No walls today
I’m a quiet preacher
The breeze knows more than the chalkboard lines
Skipping the bells
This time is mine
Verse 2
The streets hum low
A secret tune
Shadows stretch beneath the noon
Footsteps echo
A solo dance
Every corner holds a chance
Prechorus
Why sit in rows
Why hold my tongue
When the world outside is where I’m young
Chorus
Skipping the bells
The world’s my teacher
No walls today
I’m a quiet preacher
The breeze knows more than the chalkboard lines
Skipping the bells
This time is mine
Bridge
What’s the lesson in a falling leaf
What’s the answer in a moment brief
Rules can’t bind a wandering soul
Skipping the bells makes me whole
