This is a song where a mother is speaking to her child and advising her about life. Don’t Take Too Long Lyric by: Raymond Fry & Steve Manning Verse 1: As you step into the future I may never see, Let yourself become the person you could really be. I know the days move slowly as you wish away your youth, Beware of those who claim that they alone have found the truth. Chorus 1: Don’t take too long to realize that you're strong, Don’t let people fool ya, when they tell ya you're wrong. Don’t take too long to see we’re not inside the Matrix, love is real, Don’t take too long to find that scars can heal. Verse 2: If you find that there are roads which you must walk alone, Try to find a self that you can truly call your own. If after failed relationships you can't bare them any-more, Don’t take too long to realize that love’s worth waiting for. Chorus 2: Don’t take too long to realize that you're strong, Don’t let people fool ya, when they tell ya you're wrong. Don’t take too long to see we’re not inside the Matrix, love is real, Don’t take too long to find that scars can heal. Bridge: I can see your natural spirit clearly shining through, And I’m so proud that I can spend this precious time with you. Believe there’s not a single problem you cannot surmount, And while this life caresses you, make every moment count. Verse 3: Wish I had more to say, wish I had more to give: A mothers inspiration for every day you live. And I hope that when the course is finally run, You’ll look back and say “Those days were good, and I was loved”. Chorus 3: Don’t take too long to realize that you're strong, Don’t let people fool ya, when they tell ya you're wrong. Don’t take too long to see we’re not inside the Matrix, love is real, Don’t take too long to find that scars can heal.

As I stated earlier, whatever works for you is personal, and it may not be what works for others. Everyone has their own path and I for one don't wish to push anything down anyones throats.

I believe that it's OK for a person to find out the way to their own spirit in whatever way they can. I believe in the teachings of Jesus but I also believe that we have had many great teachers in our history that can lead us to a path of righteousness. Once you tell someone that your way is the only way you are on stoney ground. I did not intend this to develope into a religious discussion, I was just relating my personal experience of where I believe my lyrics emanate from. In any case, there is a paragraph in the rules of this website that discourage religious discussion.

My understanding is that music is music if there is somebody who appreciates listening to it. Not everybody likes to listen to all genres and some only stick to listening to one genre of music. Taste is God given and we shouldn't be complaining if a particular music genre isn't our particular taste.

Hi All, I'm wondering if there are any country composers/singers on Songstuff?

Hi, It's not just a lyric, it's a song. Look in your messages inbox in a couple of minutes A little gift for your private ears since you were the first person to comment and wish me well. Enjoy

My apologies for posting 2 in a row but I just got an email that one of my songs has been featured on GodTube. The Artist is `Sheaam Dean` who is resident in Sri Lanka. I crafted the lyric to a rough melody that my co-writer Andy Gatford sent me. Las Vegas Pianist Dave Haertel di the piano and string arrangement and I produced Sheaam's vocals remotely. Award winning producer Giampaolo Pasquile mixed and mastered the song and it was released as a single and is also on an EP that I co-wrote for Sheaam with different co-writers. I wrote the lyric as a song to Jesus although I haven't mentioned his name. I am not a Christian although I have great respect for his teachings. http://www.godtube.com/sheaam888/

I've just had notification that my song "Don't take too long" is under consideration for the American artist Faith Hill's next album. I won't know until the beginning of August whether it has been successful or not. Here is the lyric. Wish me luck. Don’t Take Too Long Lyric by: Raymond Fry & Steve Manning Verse 1: As you step into the future I may never see, Let yourself become the person you could really be.

Welcome to the next stage of your life Rudi, It may take a little time to adjust to the changes but it's a wonderful thing to have more time to spend doing the things you love.

I think I should just shoot myself lol before it gets any worse.

Deja blues is a great title for this storyline because of the association with Deja Vu suggesting that it is a recurring trait with both participants in their daily lives. I really like your idea and believe it to have much potential, but I think that you might consider toning down the reference to dogs and making a few small tweaks to strengthen the lyric which storyline already contains some strong lyrics already. Here are some suggestions.......... I did my best to restrain myself from suggesting further changes, Sorry but I couldn't help myself. The Deja Blues Garry She sat at the bar In her usual haze Checking out men Most of 'em strays. Between "Hi cowboy" And "Go to hell" She downs cheap booze Consoles herself A high plains drifter With the look of bad news A rugged face And some mean tattoos He once had a home He once had a wife That was so long ago That was some other life. It's not the aches and pains of age Not the payin' of a hard life's dues It's the memories that make you cry Make you sing the deja blues. He bought her beer He sought her time She fed him conversations. Not quite sure If her aim was low Or just her inhibitions. [instr'l interlude] He woke up mad Wondering why His life felt so damn wrong She woke up sad, With Deja blues A nod, then he was gone. It's not the aches and pains of age Not the payin' of a hard life's dues It's the memories that make you cry Make you sing the deja blues. A high plains drifter With the look of bad news A rugged face And some mean tattoos. She sat at the bar In her usual haze Checking out men Most of 'em strays.

Hey Pahchisme Plaid I'm laughing because I was a year late answering this lyric post which Skin (Les) wrote. I must have been confused lol but I seem to have also confused you because you have addressed your feedback to me instead of LES.

Hi Timbre, I realise now that I am a year too late on this Challenge lol. I thought it to be a recent challenge because I only noticed the June date and didn't notice the 2016 date. I'd love to see your completed lyric to know what you did with it in the end.
