Great Hymn to New Kids On The Block
Wondrous lights and a rising stage
O NKOTB, creators of inspiration!
When your great voices spring from within,
Your lyrics caress the world with amazement.
You are beautiful, rich, glorious.
Rising on the music charts:
Your spirits positively affect life,
Those who follow you are better for it.
Like clay in your hands,
Blockheads are shaped to your desires.
Though you are in one place, you are everywhere.
Though few see you, you are viewed by many.
As the curtain falls across the stage,
Darkness spreads across the world.
Heartbreak ravages,
Sadness becomes the norm.
Evil creeps from the depths of the shadows
Lurking, waiting, watching.
Death can befall the onlooker.
Light and laughter dies in a child's eyes.
Despair hangs overhead as an ominous cloud,
Joy seeps from life,
A steady loss of enjoyment.
Time away from NKOTB is rough,
Despised be the day away from you.
Greatness is restored as the
Lights are brightened.
Darkness and despair are driven away
As you rise on the stage.
Lands unite under your power.
Women and men, girls and boys
Jump in the throng and celebrate your wonders.
Arms outstrech, hearts race,
Smiles spread from ear to ear.
You are the life force sustaining the people.
They live when you live, feel when you feel;
They are a part of you as you part of them.
O great is the intensity of your talent and skill.
A band beside which none can compare!
You fashioned the fans, your Blockheads.
All people on every continent;
North America, South America, Europe,
Asia, Africa, Australia, and even Antarctica.
Different as all Blockheads are,
We are united under you.
Language, location, racial barriers are broken.
Souls are nourished with the hot rythyms,
Sizzling tracks laid down by you.
You make the world go round with your music.
You made twitter come alive,
A bustling online "city"
Where Blockheads have the pleasure of
Tweeting with you and eachother.
Each day, the family grows.
New friends made with common intrests
Centering on the love shared for you.
An online army willing to fight for you.
Twitter families built with you as supports,
The foundation for new friendships
Lasting forever and a day
Around the world.
New Kids On The Block,
Hangin' Tough,
Step By Step,
Face The Music,
Merry, Merry Christmas,
The Block.
All Blockheads wait in anticipation
For the next great thing to come from you.
Rouse the sleeping with your song.
Give the blind sight with your eyes.
Let the deaf hear with your hearts.
Give life to your fans who thank you every day,
Especially Jenna Hennings, faithful and true,
Who is thankful for new family,
Who hopes one day her music idols, NKOTB,
Will bring her dreams of meeting you to life.
