Open Mic Week 35: Counting Gray Hairs (Original)

Hey Steem People,

I just got back from my three-week Journey in Brazil. It was awesome, and I will be posting Week-3 photos soon.

I was really bummed out that I missed my first open-mic in a long time because I just didn't have a chance in Brazil last week!

This week I am coming back with a new original! I came up with this melody right before leaving for Brazil. The melody was kind of a sad one... so I wrote it about getting older haha. Hence the name, "Counting Gray Hairs"....(yes I have a few myself!).

Here are the lyrics to my new song!

"Counting Gray Hairs"

You don’t have to tell me

How the clock moves now

Looking in the mirror

I don’t see me here

Time used to stand still

I was caught in the fun

What is left

Are the memories that are done

Chorus:

Counting Gray Hairs

This is the part

Where I play the wisdom bid

But how can I,

When I’m still the teenage kid

Bridge (instrumental)

Here’s a smile for the young ones

A cheers to the invincible

For what you can’t imagine

Will become the inevitable principle

Chorus

Hope you all enjoy! Feel free to follow me for more posts on music/medicine/health/travel!

Thanks!

Special thanks to @luzcypher and @pfunk for keeping this party (openmic) going. It just doesn't stop, has made me a better musician/performer, and the party keeps getting bigger!
