August Rush, the movie

Douglas Blair 1951 (London)

Rhymed
My parents, both musical
I know that within
And how I got started
Is hard to explain.
Mistakes and confusion
Now I'm on the street
For money and lodging
And good things to eat.
The music comes easy.
Folks clap in the Park.
And someday my parents
Step out of the dark.
