My poem "Trust" turned into a lyric and then set to Music.
Its amazing how much you can convey as you take a piece along each step of the way. Adding to the meaning, coloring in around the edges.
Trust is the bedrock of all good relationships.
[Instrumental]
Some think it's given up front,
some think it's earned.
Some think it's something innate,
some think it learned.
Though trust is not a physical thing
it can be broken, shattered, smashed.
And with each blow the trust left is not like cash.
Its more like water, it drips and drizzles and oozes all away.....
Its meant to be in a calm still pool not agitated in any way.....
Though the pool can settle to a blow the container might gain a crack.
And its ourselves you see that need the fixing, to hold the trust pool back.
With trust in yourself, and trust in others, the world is a friendly place.
With lack of trust into a bleak world we are thrust and our future is in decay....
(and its scary too)
So build the bonds of trust with me, and as I will with you...
To be there for each other, no matter what may come
is the best in this world we can do.
And if you can make this leap with me
a relationship is possible you see.
(Because ultimately trust is a two way street)
Though trust is not a physical thing
it can be broken, shattered, smashed..
And with each blow the trust left is not like cash...
[Outro]
Its more like water, it drips and drizzles and oozes all away...
Its meant to be in a calm still pool not agitated in any way...
Though the pool can settle to a blow the container might gain a crack.
And its ourselves you see that need the fixing, to hold the trust pool back.
So heal with me. So you and I can be.
Meet me in the middle and lets see what this can be...
Give us a try.
Take a leap of faith.
Build that bridge each day, with a step each and every day!
With me you are safe.
With me you are safe.
With me you are safe....
