Not Even Close - 08/05/20 03:42 AM
Hello Band-in-a-Box lovers
I was reading a post in the off-topic forum this morning and was motivated to post one of my recent songs in this forum. I am still writing fairly regularly and here is a song from this years 50 90 song-writing challenge. It was a co-write with Donna Levine.
Comments are most welcome
Lyrics:
Like ev’ry kid
I would study the sky
Dazzled by stars
The how the why
And I’d think to myself
Oh WOW! There must be hundreds
…Well, not even close
Don’t know who I am
Just who I’ve been
Through a prism that shows
All I’ve done, all I’ve seen
...No stopping at what went before
There’ll always be more
Like everyone
I would study the heart
Dazzled by love
Especially the start
And I’d think to myself
Oh WOW! It won’t be painful
…Well, not even close
Chorus
Only two questions concern me now
…Whether I’m a tumbleweed
Or an angel still on course
directionless Or returning to the Source
Chorus
Don’t know who I am
Just who I’ve been
Through a prism that shows
All I’ve done, all I’ve seen
...No stopping at what went before
There’ll always be more
