This is my first serious song for a good while now. Its strange, now that my Uni course is almost over and the work is done, I feel some creativity coming back that I've not felt in so long. And that feeling is definately what this song is about (to me anyway).
I hope you enjoy it.
Free
Verse 1
Casting off the worries
No more stress on my back
Shedding all of that fear
Shines the light
Fades the black
If you want I can show you
How to be free like me
(and) Once you've seen….
Chorus
Then we can
Fly away
Above the streets and trees
No more ties to bind
Nothing holding me
Down onto the ground
I finally feel so free
Verse 2
My shoulder's now lighter
With no world weighing down
We'll have no more tears
Turn that frown
Upside down
And I know I can show you
How to be free like me
(and) Once you've seen….
Chorus
Then we can
Fly away
Above the streets and trees
No more ties to bind
Nothing holding me
Down onto the ground
I finally feel so free
I finally feel so
Bridge
Liberated
No longer frustrated
See the smiles through the darkness
Chases the clouds away
(but) Leaves a
Silver lining
Shining for just
You and me
Take my hand, you'll see….
Chorus and Outro
Then we can
Fly away
Above the streets and trees
No more ties to bind
Nothing holding me
Down onto the ground
I finally feel
That I can
Fly away
Free as a bird on the breeze
No more worries no conflict
Nothing but inner peace
Oh I'm happy to show you
How to be free like me
Oh how to be free like me
Oh how to be free…like….me (last three words strung out with one chord strum each)

It's such a cool happy song! I really like it and I really really love the end!
"Free as a bird on the breeze

the only not-that-important thing, maybe some punctuation would help get a sense of the rythm, just a thought. ;-)
Nice job,
Matilde
Thanks matilde, one thing that is hard to convey is the rythm, I have a very clear sound in my head of the song, so I plan to work on the music and *maybe* make it my first full recording (not sure I can sing what I hear though!)
Unfortunately, that won't be for a few weeks as I'm away from my guitar for a much-deserved holdiay from university! :lol:
Thanks for the comments.

with rythm I was mainly referring to 'narration rythm', meaning that punctuation makes it read easier, and normally does give a better flow :wink:
btw, I would love to hear you sing it, whenever you have the time to record...
they did tell me to do the same for my song, but I'm not that cool :lol: I'm a recording challenged singer :wink:
tzo, can't wait to hear it!
