Universal Language of Music

The nations have become so divided by politics, economic status, lifestyles, religion, language barriers, and nationalistic ideologies.  I have discovered there is one painless force that will break all of those strongholds, reaching into our most spiritual and human part of us- the heart.  That force is music.  Music in itself is a universal language, we all understand.  No words necessary.  It's a God-given Heavenly way to heal, connect, uplift, and bring a certain form of ecstasy into our world.  If lyrics are involved, a message can be spread as well.  Therefore, music can also be a weapon. (After all, it is universal).  If people are open to listening to the message of the lyrics, and feeling what the melody says, the combination could be beyond words.  What images does it bring to the mind's eye?  Lyrics can create a movie or story, while the melody a feeling.  However, words aren't always needed to do this, in order for the song to speak in a manner in which you can understand.  Let your heart translate the music and speak to you.  Your heart will not lead you astray if you are wise about it.
