I am a forty something that has something to say, as we all do. Over the past 9 or so years I have composed several different lyrics with different tones, feeling, and rhythms. My main influences are Scott Stapp (don't judge me), Jeff Scott Soto, Journey, and Judas Priest. I would love to find someone to collaborate with, allowing full creative license and shared ownership of the song. It has been my dream for a number of years to hear music that I helped create. I hear the music in my head as I write the lyrics, I just don't have the skills to create the music. If anyone is interested, here is one of my 50+ songs. Hope you enjoy.
Waiting for sunset
Life weighs heavy on my mind
Stress and worry have taken my day
Sunset gives me a chance to stop and think
Would I go back and do it all again
If I did would it stay the same anyway
The last light of day sits on the horizon
I stand here as the world fades away
Watching the end of another day
(Chorus)
I’m waiting for sunset
To come my way
So I can clear my mind
Just one more time
So I watch the day
As it fades away
All my cares and worries
Start to fade away
If just for another day
Life has a funny way
Of getting me through the day
With every challenge that comes my way
It gets harder each and every day
But I get through it anyway
That’s why I’m so glad to say
Tomorrow is just another day
A day to rise above and overcome
That’s why I’m waiting for sunset to come
(Repeat chorus)
It’s always darkest just before the dawn
This is why we must carry on
So we can see the gift of another dawn
So we can rise above and overcome
We must carry on through the dark
And rise above and overcome
We must rise above and overcome
So we can stand up and meet the rising sun
(Repeat chorus)
