The metronome is a prison, There to force structure, There to force a norm. *** The metronome is a prison, Not to be disregarded, And sanctified by some. *** The metronome should not be a prison, More a guide to the feeling, Of the musicians heart to hands. *** The metronome is a suggestion, Of where the beat may go, But it isn't a prison, To those in the know.
