I’ll have to figure out how to send it. Tried to copy and paste from my photos, size to big.

Thanks John, I’m always writing in my head just never seems to get down on paper. This lyric came as a poem to me after I did a paint pour on canvas. It was just after the Canadian news was breaking about the Native Residential schools and the bodies of children being found. I don’t know if you’re familiar with paint pouring, but random things can appear. As mine was drying I could see a little boy standing in a forest with hundreds of little spirit lights in that forest. I began to write the poem. I got called away. my painting had dried and the boy I had seen had vanished. I stopped writing when I could no longer see him. I searched the painting for days and weeks, no luck. I put it away and just brought back out last week. The lyrics I think were given to me by that little boy. can I add a photo of the picture?

Good one

Hey Goldylocks, I like your take on this challenge. It's alway interesting to see what comes out. I all have a full read tonight. Had a fire in the oven yesterday and still cleaning up.

Hi James, thanks for your comments. I changed the last verse a bit from my original post, don't know if you have seen that yet. I'm really getting frustrated with my computer, screen keeps rolling and I keep getting lost. lol Jan

Les, I made the changes where suggested although not exact wording. Does it fit with the melody you have in mind? Would love to hear it. Jan

V I am just someone with lots of words to say I write them down in lyric form Post them anyway, sit and wait It could take forever, maybe just a day I know my songstuff buddies Will tell me what they think B Honestly, honesty is what we get from them Some of our critics are now our songstuff friends C Great minds think alike, not trying to pretend Where our voice may carry Some without amends V Never thought where this could lead Words written on a page Someday we hope to hear them on a full set stage All because of we took a step, became a little brave Perhaps we’ll hear them one day over air waves V Yesterday I heard someone say We’re gonna take our songstuff away I could not believe what I just heard, I pray Say it isn’t so If it weren’t for posts on songstuff lord knows We’d have nowhere to show B C Forever and ever, ever Amen

I posted my challenge #44 today, but I don't see it here. ? Where did it go, I can only see it under my content page.

Sorry my screen keeps rolling, it must have rolled right past. The stupid screen, I need a new lap top. Nice job Goldylocks. Jan

Hey Goldy, good job on the edit, my question is have they overcome what it was that caused the breakup and rage? What was the reason for the rage? Overall I like, might make it tighter with some explanation. jan

Hey Goldylocks good to see you here, I'll add my thoughts later when I have a bit more time. Jan

Thanks James, I like the idea of the chorus duet very much and agree there is still something else needed to bridge the gap. Thanks for your thoughts, as I try to work it out. I do like the title though, to me it suggests love will survive, what started out as love, goes through pain, rallies and is still strong in the end. Jan

This is what I have for this challenge, sorry I have been away so long. Challenge #43 JD Harris: Because I Fell in Love With You Female vocals: It used to be just me and you When we were young and our love new You promised me, would always be Right here No fear Somewhere that all got changed All messed up, got rearranged All our dreams turned into rage We couldn’t turn one more page To see our dreams come true Where were you Where were you Male vocals: So many times I tried to speak Tell you I was weak I didn’t mean to hurt you in this way Could not behave Not very brave Then in all my mixed up mess I just lied, did not confess Thought I’d ignore it, go away Make it better any way, but You couldn’t stay It wasn’t you It wasn’t you Both: Who’d have thought we’d be here today Face to face standing in this place So much time there in between From what we had, where we went wrong All our dreams still stand strong Yet unseen Couldn’t we Couldn’t we Male: I remember all that we once had Remember more good than bad, and Today I make this pledge I swear to you I’ll keep you safe with all I do Honor our love, keep it true I couldn’t live without you one more day Please stay What do you say? Do you feel it too? Female: I know it’s true, so much has changed But there’s one thing that still remains Deep in my heart not rearranged I feel it too, my love for you Always true and yes I do Together: I will always everyday Love you Finally our dreams are coming true, all Because I fell in love with you
