Help Me Write This Song

Not sure how this one came to be...sounds like something out of the 60's...but I don't smoke pot anymore so I know it wasn't drug induced.

Hello excuse me can I share a little bit of your time

You know that you might be a little wiser than I am

I’m trying to sing a message that everyone can hum along

Can you help me write this song?

 

There’s a chord I need  to make this song chime

There’s a word I’m looking for to help this world find reason and rhyme

I’m not sure but it might be love or fight

But maybe you’re better at finding words for a poem

So can you help me write this song

 

Sit down with me here don’t be afraid to speak from inside

Look deep in the sky let an inner voice take control

Well maybe the right words will have a calming power

Maybe together we can make this message strong 

Hey can you help me write this song?


Break  

              

Well Listen to me think about what I’m trying to say

A song of comfort to give you breath and take your fear away

Can you think of a way to explain

That the futures uncertain but hope remains strong

And the doubts we all feel might disappear some dawn

Come on help me write this song

 

Sit down with me here don’t be ashamed to let your inner thoughts show

Look the world in the eyes  speak of what  we all hope to find

If we sing the right song it just might bring a change

Or maybe our voices just needed to sing all along

Hey can you help me sing this song?

 

Break 

 

I know we  may  never all  be  friends

A lot of talk  about  love  and  peace  but  why  pretend

We were  born  to  fight  for  life  and the  fights  will  never  end

We weren’t  made  to  understand 

Where life’s  going  or  where  it  came  from


But a simple song might help bring harmony along

We all want to hear it cutting clear through the fog

You know it when you feel it it’s been playing all along

So come on help me sing this sooooooong

    If you insist on writing lyrics and singing, would you mind playing the guitar at little less good than you do!

    My ears are get drawn back and forth, I don't know what to listen to.

    Seriously, an excellent piece of work, the guitar is too good for words, so I'll leave that alone.

    Lovely storyline SF, strong message well projected'

    Magic, loved it,

    One suggestion, watch the line lengths, a couple of times your vocals were getting a tad stretched to get all the lyrics in.


    'What word will help this World find reason and rhyme'

    'Sit with me and feel free, to let your inner thoughts show'


    You're setting a high bar on this forum, what's next?

  • Now that's what I'm talking about...help me write this song...thanks for the kind words my friend.

  • No I don't any more either!!😀 Yes, it is kinda 60's. Echoing Sid, you play rather well so I'm not sure that you need much help. Great song as it is.

    I absolutely love the theme of this

  • Love it. This one's a little bit meta! But at the same time it's engaging, and a call to action for the listener. Got a serious message behind that title.Lovely guitar work (as usual!) but a strong lyric too.

    Very well done.
