OpenMic Songwriters Challenge Week 7 -Home (Original Song written for the theme: Right Place)

in openmic •  7 years ago  (edited)

Oh boy, it's been a long week.
I was determined to get this song into this week's Challenge though. So after work, I paid a visit to an old baby-grand piano.

The theme was Right Place/ Right Time. I chose Right Place.
After a few takes, I decided to just go with the one that I connected to emotionally at the time. I am so grateful to have a home. It is a special place. I dedicate this song to B, for a billion reasons it wouldn't be home without you.

Here is the song I finished writing today:

LYRICS:

A younger me made mistakes
But you forgave, so I could forgive myself
And honestly, I don't know
Where I would be without your help

Maybe I would never find
My right place
My right place

Home. Home. Better than I dreamed it

Oh so simple to live and let live
And your bravery made black and white into grey
And without it

Maybe we would never find
Our right place
Our right place

Home. Home. Better than we dreamed it

An older me will always know
The hand that I was dealt was on show
It took a while but I found my way home
With your help

Now I know I did find
My right place
My right place

Home. Home. It's better than I dreamed it
Home.

....Thanks so much,
See ya Flimpzidez

How can I become a international saxophonist Singer?

Hmmm. I have been considering this question. I think just keep doing what you love. We 'become' what we do, so just keep going. Its about you and the music. xo
