Wanderer

Wanderer

A Poem by Zach Colgate
"

Some more song lyrics. This is the first one I've written with a finished guitar part.

"

Every breath is one closer to death

So breathe deep my friend

Every tear that you cry is there to be dried

Don't hide your eyes

 

I know you dont know what lies down the road

But that will never change

Just keep walking 'till you top that next hill

Baby, then you'll know

 

Breathe deep my friend (repeat)

 

Don't stand aside as trains pass you by

Climb on while you can

'Cause lifes hard as stone when you're all alone

Please take my hand

 

Don't hide your eyes (repeat)

 

Don't wander by

Please walk a while by my side

A lyrics packed with a very inspiring and moving message. Creating a melody makes it even more strong and influential.

loved the last two lines, at the end.

i'm guessing this is written as a song? not too bad :)

This is really sweet. "Every tear that you cry is there to be dried.." Thats my favorite line. I bet its even better with the music! Nice job.

Lovely bit of writing here.
A little curious on the melody, would it be soft or a little trickier? Hm. Could go either way for me.

"..I know you dont know what lies down the road
But that will never change
Just keep walking 'till you top that next hill
Baby, then you'll know.."
^ My favorite part. This is amazing, and I can easily "hear" it..

Well Done!

Im really, really diggin' these lyrics.
I play guitar, and I'd love to know the beat that follows.
They are very nicely written.

I would love to hear these words when mingled with music. They sound lovely, and very inspiring. The opening line, grabbed me and I was happy to read on. Very well written...very well written.

"Don't stand aside as trains pass you by

Climb on while you can" That's my favorite line. This song is very well written in my opinion, because it actually means something, instead of just being some random rambling thoughts that I usually have the misfortune to read.
