Not All That You Wanted
wow, I woke up again....having trouble falling asleep. So I continued working on the composing. The first composition for the competition is done. It sounds pretty spiffy...at least I think, sounds like a mix of folk, pop and rock. One more to go after this one...and I'll probably be done with that by the end of this week, YAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!! The next one will probably more...commercial sounding, hehe, the first I wanted something creative, sort of like a cultural collage. The lyrics will probably be revised as I mix and arrange it into the song.
---------------------------------------------------
Half the world willing to listen.
Half just wants to ignore me.
No one in between would give a damn...
The carousel goes around in circles.
It never ends, I hear them screamin..
I am a flower withering, dead..
They tell me...
I am not the one they wanted (but I'm here)
Lost, I don't have a place here (a defect)
I feel like a canary, locked in it's cage...
And I would say to you...
Papa I'm sorry your mad at me
Mama please don't worry, stop crying.
I'm flying away, and I'm sorry,
I'm not all that you wanted....
Some people have different points of view...
It cross my mind, just an hour ago....
when I lost faith in the higher ones...
They said maybe tomorrow it'll be me,
That I will be free to be in love with someone,
You find my love and turn your back on me...
You tell me...
I am not being myself (mental illness)
I don't really want, what I want (hopeless love)
I feel like I'm the dirt, I see you walk on me...
And you would hear me say...
Papa I'm sorry your mad at me,
Mama please don't worry, stop crying.
I'm flying away, and I'm sorry,
I'm not all that you wanted....
This world is changin..
Why can't you believe these changes?
This kid is the same...
I am your child, can you hear these words I say to you?
Papa I'm sorry your mad at me,
Mama please don't worry, stop crying.
I'm flying away, and I'm sorry,
I'm not all that you wanted....
Papa I'm sorry your mad at me,
Mama please don't worry, stop crying.
I'm flying away, and I'm sorry,
I'm not all that you wanted....
The beautiful end...
Do you want me?
Am I good enough?
Am I family?
Will you say sorry?
Do you like me?
Do you love me?
Will you save me?
Would you take my hand?
