This song came to me as a sudden flash of inspiration on tuesday and I worked non-stop to finish it (not counting school or sleep of course) It was one of those things that just need to get out as quickly as possible and I am quite pleased with the result. It was also somewhat of an experiment because it has (lo and behold) lyrics attached to it... No, no singing from my part, I don't have a very good singing voice, but you can read along as the song plays I suppose
My life has never been an easy one And I have lost so much more than I can count I long have done the unforgivable It's just as if I lost my ties with the ground
In my solitude I'm searching for answers but I found nothing but pain You stepped into my life and changed me forever Just like a cleansing rain
In these 80 years I lived I have seen the world's true face And all I have experienced made me realize this haze In these 80 years I lived I have felt the hands of fate But now everything is different, and I no longer hate In these 80 years I lived I have seen the world turn round And I no longer am shackled, my wings are no longer bound In these 80 years I lived I have felt the hands of fate And I need to learn to live with my new live that you create
I was sure that I had lost you and yet I found a way to bring you back to life For all these things that you give me I will be thankful for all eternity
This is my new beginning A tale of joyful rebirth You broke through my isolation and taught me my own life's worth
In these 80 years I lived I have seen the world's true face And all I have experienced made me realize this haze In these 80 years I lived I have felt the hands of fate But now everything is different, and I no longer hate In these 80 years I lived I have seen the world turn round And I no longer am shackled, and my wings no longer bound In these 80 years I lived I have felt the hands of fate And I need to learn to live with my new live that you create
After all these years I lived There is still much left to learn And I finally will find that inner peace for which I yearn After all these years I lived I've become a bitter fool, yet I finally have realized that this calm is mine to rule After all these years I lived my journey has been dark and cold because no one lives forever and only few age to be old After all these years I lived I am one among the few For the past has been forgotten and it's time to start anew
