I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves
Before love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
Now I stand accused of the things I've said
When Love Comes to Town
Love comes to town
I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town
I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

This Land is Your Land
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the Redwood forests, to the Gulf stream waters
This land belongs to you and me.
I rode and rambled
I followed my footsteps
Crossed the golden sands of your diamond deserts
And all around me a voice kept saying
Oh, this land belongs to you and me.

Possible version
Music is an essential part of my life, which adds a new dimension to my otherwise dull life. I even can't live without music.
Music comes in different styles and forms. But my favourite music genre is Jazz, which originated from African American communities. I am greatly impressed by its strong rhythms, easing my stress in the study. Besides, the creativity, quick thinking and unique personality reflected in Jazz touch me very much.
Jazz brings me unlimited joy and infinite beauty, brightening my day. I deeply feel the endless charm of it.
