My poem The Land of IF set to music with some extra lines to bring it together. 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 [Soft Sultry female vocals] [verse] In the land of "If" somewhere this side of forgotten dreams the world is very foggy and nothing is as it seems There are no deadlines or plans things just happen as they may No new commitments made nothing beyond today The land of If is living in the moment without working for your dreams (nothing is as it seems) [break] [beat switch] [bass drop] Your dreams are somehow forgotten among everyday ordinary things And you have no firm goals beyond the few day to day cares You are in stasis The daily grind seems to wear Cause the land of if, is for you to fill with your dreams you only need to remember them and put plans down to earn (dreams, bucket list) (plans to earn) (check) [break] [beat switch] [bass drop] (nothing is as it seems) [break] For anything you can think of is possible too, though the dates an times an persons may change as things go along they are skewed. (things can feel screwed) [break] But the intent it to reach nirvana the things that will bring you to bliss and to not live a life wondering what you did miss [musical interlude] Money, fame, power, unconditional love are all available to anyone and are not a mystery above We can get what we dream of if we only make a plan. (make a plan) And work it every day, and on your principals make a stand (Make a stand in your home base) (principals determine if the rest was just a waste) [break] [beat switch] [bass drop] So make your land of "IF" a realization of your dreams and life will never be the same again I promise you, its as easy as it seems (Gotta have your dreams!) [break] [Instrumental] to make life worth living you have to open that door and dig down deep into your core and if you realize that part of you you will never want for more [lyrics fade] its the door its the door If If If If it will make a diff If [End]

Wow, long song but I listened to the end. Complex lyric pattern but the message in your lyrics has an inspirational feel to it. The voice and melody are quirky but strangely appealing and apt to your theme. Maria Williams (she's on here) and her husband just did one for me, with video. If you get time check it out

I met Maria recently virtually and follow her here too. I will have to check out your video together. And thanks, this song took a while to create as it is complex but the poem is complex and I wanted to convey it in the most thoughtful way. ( I wrote the original poem in 2007 for a friend).
