about

this one came out of one of the FAWM challenges; little inspirational things to get your creative juices flowing. This one was "Word Painting", which was about lyrics referencing what's happening in the song - onomatopoeia or some such.

I love a good C#m chord.

Otherwise, it's mostly power-ballad nonsense....

lyrics

We all seek seek the meaning
of the messages before us
concealed in the shadows
Hidden in plain sight

The world is full of secrets
we need only to listen
To find the metadata
that organizes life

See Sharp, Mind your manner,
Be the change you wish for
A special kind of feeling
Be A part of something

See a half step further
Become something for someone
A deeper connection
Begin to approach the
Eternal



The universe is endless
No beginning and no ending
Every moment just another
point along the curve

We all come from star stuff
We are part of something larger
Our visions of the future
Lie within our past



See Sharp, Mind your manner,
Be the change you wish for
A special kind of feeling
Be A part of something

See a half step further
Become something for someone
A deeper connection
Begin to approach the
Eternal


There are patterns upon patterns
Laid out before our senses
We need only be open
To see the grand design


So seek the underlying substance
move past the surface details
Find structure to the notion
that all details are signs

See Sharp, Mind your manner,
Be the change you wish for
A special kind of feeling
Be A part of something

See a half step further
Become something for someone
A deeper connection
Begin to approach the
Eternal
