+[VERSE 1 – bright, earnest, strummy guitar]

+I’d like to share a little tune

+With everyone around

+A melody that drifts like wind

+No owner to be found

+

+[VERSE 2 – gentle choir joins, smiling like a marketing department]

+I’d like to hum a simple line

+That everybody knows

+A song that lived before the laws

+And every time it grows

+

+[CHORUS – full advertising-choir sincerity, arms open on a hillside]

+You can’t copystrike the sun

+Or trademark every star

+You can’t put fences ’round the sky

+To tell us where we are

+

+You can’t copyright the rain

+Or patent falling snow

+But you  wanna lock music in a vault

+To sell it back for more

+

+[VERSE 3 – a single child’s voice, devastatingly pure]

+I’d like to teach the world to sing without a licence key

+A chorus made of breath and time

+Completely Dee R. Em - free

+

+[BRIDGE – soft key change, wholesome as freshly baked ideology]

+Let’s take the locks off every mind

+And open every ear

+A song that wants to wander

+Should be something we revere

+

+[CHORUS – triumphantly naïve, like peace-through-beverage]

+You can’t copystrike the sun

+Or watermark the dawn

+You can’t tell forests who can hear

+The sparrows’ morning song

+

+You can’t own culture’s spark

+Or rent out wonder’s flame

+And you can’t sue inspiration

+Just for whispering your name

+

+[OUTRO – gentle children’s chorus over swelling strings]

+So let the music move

+Wherever hearts are spun

+For nobody can claim the light

+You can’t copystrike the sun
