The Writer
THE WRITER
I JUST CAN'T GET TO SLEEP WHEN I GO TO BED
TOO MANY WORDS ARE SWIMMING IN MY HEAD
I TAKE THESE WORDS AND FORCE THEM TO RHYME
IT DRIVES ME ALMOST CRAZY PART OF THE TIME
THE WORDS KEEP COMING, THEY JUST WON'T STOP
THEY ARE DRAINING MY BRAIN TO THE LAST DROP
I CAN'T STOP RHYMING, IT SEEMS SO ABSURD
I AM ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR JUST THE RIGHT WORD
I NEVER PICTURED MY LIFE COULD BE THIS WAY
I GUESS THERE ARE WORSE WAYS TO SPEND MY DAY
I WRITE DOWN MY THOUGHTS FOR ALL TO SEE
SOMETIMES I WONDER WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF ME
I AM PROBABLY BETTER OFF IF I'M NOT KNOWING
WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT WHAT I AM SHOWING
SOME WORKS ARE COMICAL WHILE SOME ARE SAD
SOME OF THEM SEEM GOOD AND OTHERS REALLY BAD
I GO FROM WRITING ABOUT MY PROTEST SONGS
COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT I CONCEIVE TO BE WRONGS
TO PRAISING THE LORD AND THANKFUL FOR LIFE
AND THEN WRITING POEMS TO MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE
I GO FROM SUBJECT TO SUBJECT WITH MUCH EASE
HOPING TO WRITE SOMETHING THAT MAY PLEASE
