A few days ago I was playing around with my Dad's ukulele and posted a couple of ideas on this blog. Have a look at that post by clicking here.
The first of the two ideas I've been wanting to turn into a short song. I've been working on some lyrics and here they are. Hopefully I'll get something recorded tomorrow.
It may seem cliché to work with the "life's a journey not a destination" adage but the fact is that it has become a cliché because it's so true. That's often the way with clichéd sayings. I'm hoping to make the song a fun little moment of getting across an idea that's common but too often ignored or not understood.
Destination: Every Day
I remember the time when I
Thought I'd reached the end of the line
But it turned out I had to make a change to stay
Moving toward a brighter day
Endless travelling with my heavy load
Was hard when I didn't how far I had to go
But right when I thought I may just give it away
The destination became every day
So now I just enjoy the ride
And leave behind the tears I've cried
The train keeps moving and the destination's by your side
The destination IS in fact every day. Nice poem.
ReplyDeleteI've been saying it and reading about it for a long time but it took me a solid 5 to 7 years to actually get to the point that I'm truly living the "now". It makes a huge difference to daily happiness. I'll get my little song recorded tonight I hope. ;)
