I had a good productive day off today, so I already got my song written and recorded. Woohoo!
Lyrics
Because we can we’re gonna stand up straight,
And share with pride, all we create.
Because we can we’re gonna change and grow;
There’s no telling how far we can go.
We’re gonna be each other’s biggest fan…
Because we can.
Because we can we’re gonna save the day,
Take you out of the cold, invite you to stay.
Because we can we’re gonna make it alright;
The darkness inside you will be drowned in our light.
You’ll feel just like they took your blues and ran…
Because we can.
Because we can we’ll lead ourselves astray,
But if we reach out, friends will guide our way.
Because we can we’ll sometimes get it wrong,
But stuck in this moment is where we belong
We’re always deviating from our plan…
Because we can.
Because we can we’re gonna spread the truth,
We’re gonna learn from the old, empower the youth.
Because we can we’re marching bravely ahead
To a world where our minds and souls are well-fed.
We’re rising up, as sure as I’m a man…
Because we can.
This is my entry in the Open Mic Songwriter's Challenge, Week 4.
I wrote This post earlier to share a little of my musical story and express some gratitude for the #openmic community. Check it out!
