Thanx

Here's anotherone. I wrote it while sitting on the couch in our house in spain about three weeks ago. By the way, when I write "//" it's either at the beginning of the chorus or where a second or third chorus shoud be but i didn't write it in.

Children of the Sun

I can live ‘til I die
Weaving my own life
But I can’t let go
Without paying the price

My throat is raw; my eyes are sore
But I can’t see the end
My stomach is empty
And my body’s stooped and bent

The sun beats down on my skin
Charring my hopes
I’m waiting for old Father Time
To give me life’s quote

// I’m a child of the sun
I’m an offspring of the sand
I’m one of the wind’s many children
I may not wake up tomorrow
Or might not go to sleep to night
And I want you to take my hand

If only I could wake and open my eyes
To a better world
Then maybe I’d have hope
And live an extra hour

My wounds might heal
My heart might beat again
Then I could face the sun
And laugh as I say

// X2
Instrumental

Take my hand
Lead me through the sand X4
(Maybe “lead me through the sand” as backing vocals)


There you go, another song of mine. I'm gonna ask a friend of mine to add some piano to it and I'll try to add guitar... try... lol. Appart from that, it's about children in Africa or other poor or underdeveloped countries and what they have to live through. Slightly depressing but i hope i prove my point.

Mmm. Nice work. I like it.

You should record it, I want to actually hear it now... please?

Eh heh. Can't wait to see more.

You like it? Oh, good, i was worried it was a little too depressing. lol
I've got more if you want, but I think that's one of the only good ones. I'm not that good with words. I sing, I play, but poetry was never my strong point.
As for recording it, i don't think I'm ready for that yet, lol. I have the tune, but my guitar skills aren't advanced enough for me to play to it myself. I've formed a band with a friend who plays the piano beautifly. She plays like she breaths, if you know what i mean, lol. Anyway, I've written a few songs over the holls so I'll talk to her about it.

Awesome. Deppression in music can be a good thing, I've heard a lot of songs that can make you feel 'sad' just by listening to them... But it's not only in the lyrics, it has to be in the music too.

Anyway, I'll look forward to a recording if you do get one, and keep posting the lyrics.
