I wrote the music to a song thirty years ago. I finally finished the lyrics last year.

You can force things, get ideas from other people, use AI, steal what every you think you can get away with from other songs.

None of that will likely work very well. Take the pressure off and just let it happen. It will take as long as it takes. Just my experence.

Many of the best songs were written by teams of people. Asking for help is what professionals do.

Something Henley said about their songwriting.

"They're the same themes that run through all of our work: loss of innocence, the cost of naiveté, the perils of fame, of excess; exploration of the dark underbelly of the American dream, idealism realized and idealism thwarted, illusion versus reality, the difficulties of balancing loving relationships and work, trying to square the conflicting relationship between business and art; the corruption in politics, the fading away of the Sixties dream of "peace, love and understanding."

Best of luck Dan.
