SONGWRITER
Painting pictures with your words,
Will you slay them with your tune,
Can you make them sing your melodies
To their unforgiving moon
Will you watch them leave their seats
Dancing solo on the floor,
Bid farewell unto the heartache
They keep behind their quiet door
Can you take them from their darkness
Share with them your star-filled night
Can you gift them sacred memories
That live long beyond tonight
Can you show them they are beautiful
Will your words be filled with grace
Do you understand the sorrow of
Those who feel they're out of place
Will you break through to the sadness
Could you empathise the plight
Of the lonely who then only
Fade away into their night
See I was once a songwriter
Broken just like you
As the eyes of blind indifference
Made me feel wretched and blue
I'll take my pen, and write again...
Dance on....
