Now
This was written a maybe a couple of years ago. I sent it to the ASA competition but it never made it to the shortlist. It's been one of my least favourite lyrical compositions and a bit of an experiment. Now I’ve written a lot of songs in my time In between my own leisure Creating a melody and using my energy I’ll no longer be a stranger I work hard at my creativity Ideas can flow through an aperture Choosing a key to let my voice be free I’ve never felt like a failure Well it looks like I’ve hit the jackpot now You will all be impressed now Now is the time for me to shine Because my time has arrived now When I grew up there was a piano I then got distracted by the tele There was a beach within my reach On a good day I’d paddle in the sea I was happy and never went without My folks had witnessed poverty I found a stage where I could rage Then I would make myself a coffee Well it looks like I’ve hit the jackpot now You will all be impressed now...
