Love Will Always Win

Might make this into a song. Hope you guys like it.

---------

I want to save your life with this love I bear,
To hold you in my arms and tell you it was always there
All around you, the darkness sways
But inside you the light still stays

I’m sorry my words fail me
I’m sorry I’m so weak
If only you could see me
If only love could speak

I want to take you to the top of the mountain
And let the rain pour down on you
To allow those tears to spurt in fountains
To sooth your core of blue

But you are strong
And words always ring
My heart will pull you along
With every boil and every sting

I’m sorry my words fail me
I’m sorry I’m so weak
If only you could see me
If only love could speak

I want to say that I do love you
But you cannot hear me until the darkness leaves you
So I will wait here with an open hand
Hoping, always hoping to understand

You are strong
Words will always pull you on
And the light inside you from deep within
Tells me love will always win

Great lyric, not a lot of difference between song writing and poetry, in music the melody is the key, weak lyrics can be overcome by the melody, the hook is the key.Song writing needs to be elemental(look at coldplay) is much easier than poetry. You have your 4 verses and chorus now you just need a bridge and your done!

Hi Laura...I hope you have made this into a song, and it would be great to listen to it! These are beautiful words, poetical and romantic (nothing mushy!) coming from a sincere heart. Words might fail to describe what a person truly feels, but in your case you got so close to doing so! Great refrain, too! [once I had a song...Words are not Enough....] ~ Warm regards // paul

A hopeful song that wishes to be understood, and to be embraced wholeheartedly. Your lyric has the rhythm and sincerity to be a good song. I especially enjoyed the mountains-fountains stanza.

Aww, thank you very much, Tim. I'm trying to get a good melody for the chorus. Been busy this week. I wrote this song for a friend who was struggling with deep depression. It kind of just came out, so it's pretty raw right now. I dunno if I wanna change up the words, we'll see where it takes me. Again, thanks for the encouraging words. ~Laura
