STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 52 Original Song "Friend Named Joe"

in openmic •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello, this is my first Steemit open mic, and I hope I'm doing it correctly. Here are the lyrics to my song, "Friend Named Joe." It's a song about the hero's journey that we're all on.

Friend Named Joe

I once had a friend and his name was Joe
Asked me ‘bout all the secrets of life
I said it’s 1 o’clock Joe and you’re never going to know
If you don't open your mind

Oh Joe don’t you know, oh Joe don’t you know, oh Joe don’t you know

The candle burns low but nobody knows
About the dragon and the fool on the hill
The fool is a fellow with a dragon to slay
Only Joe didn't know it was real

Oh Joe don't you know, oh Joe don't you know, oh Joe don’t you know

Joe once said that he couldn’t keep up
Didn’t have what it takes after all
I said it’s 1 o’clock Joe and you’re never going to know
If you don’t open your heart

Oh Joe you don’t know

Merlin speaks softly but he carries a stick
And he knows when to open the door
It's a riddle of life in the middle of strife
When the light comes a thundering in

Oh Joe don't you know, oh Joe don't you know, oh Joe don't you know

I once had a friend and his name was Joe
Asked me ‘bout all the secrets of life
I said it’s 1 o’clock Joe and you’re never going to know
If you don't open your heart
