Asleep in my head there is a song. It wakes while I am resting in my bed. It sings its tune of mystery all night long. When morning comes again the song has fled. While driving on the road I take to school, I'm startled by the music that I hear. To quick, the words are fading now, you fool The song was being whispered in my ear.

The word SONG in line 1 means

a composition of words and music
