Help for lyrics

Dear friends,
Considering my difficulties with English language, I put here this lyrics before creating the song…please if you notice something wrong with grammar or something that doesn’t sound good could you tell me?🙏

PRAYER
Two eyes are not enough
to read everything in everyone
give me yours
Chenrezig

Two hands are just too few
for what in my plans I have to do
give me more
Mahadevi

The heart does not yet
strive for others without regrets
Give me yours
Mother Tara

The journey will be long,
cause infinitely vast are the worlds
Bring me luck
Ganapati

This mind still believes
that my pain, my suffering exists
Give me yours
Shakyamuni

my mind’s abode
is not a clear sky always full of love
may I discover yours
Vajradhara

My verses are empty and raw
They are not as sublime as your eternal song
Inspire my notes
Saraswatī

I have not yet understood
that every quantum of energy contains you
Praise to you
Shri Lalita

Light your light
in this night
Mind of pure love
Amitabha, Amitabha

Light your fire
in this body
Energy that never ends
Kundalini, Kundalini

Om
Shanti
Om
shanti

    I don't see nothing wrong with them . My words are hurtful and raw

    There not really empty , taking it literally


    lets forget your a songwriter and use words

  • Thank you so much Elvis! I always appreciate your help🙏

    Some hit writer told me something a few years ago , Don't make your lyrics like a songwriter wrote them . The average Joe is talking

  • I think overall this reads really smoothly.

    The only lines I would point to are:

    Two hands are just too few

    for what in my plans I have to do

    and I don't think those are grammatically wrong, but perhaps not as natural. Maybe:

    Two hands are just too few

    for all that my heart says I must do

    but you mention "heart" again in the next verse, so perhaps you won't want to use that in this one.

  • Thank you very much Rainy and Sid🤗🤗🤗They I will take Sid’s version🙏

    Thank you so much @IronKnee and @OnlyGavin !
    I didn’t look at the forum in these days so I missed your kind answers. I really appreciate!
    I tried to give life to this lyrics but after 300 songs discarded I think only human can do it…I was looking at a fresh sound like this:

    But it was impossible…😅
  • I really appreciate @IronKnee’s help. Maybe in the future it will come a melody…If anyone wants to try, feel free to do it!
