This song was written around May 8, 2008. I've re-edited it. I'd love some feedback.
The Rising Sun
i never heard a love song, until i heard you call my name
i never saw all the colors, i was drenched in all the rain
i never knew to take shelter when the darkness took over the sky
i never had a mother to wipe the tears from my eye
but i know the son is gonna rise
i never felt the healing of faithful fingertips
i never felt the power of a kiss from a lover's lips
i never knew how to set things right when my words ruined everything
i never had a brother and i never knew how to sing
but i know the son is gonna rise
the rising sun, here it comes
the rising son, here He comes
the rising son
i never spoke to Jesus until my world came crashing down
i never knew how to hold my tongue with the chaos spinnin’ round
i made many a promise that i knew i couldn't keep
i never believed i could fall in love, the price was just too steep
and i know the son is gonna rise
the rising sun, here it comes
the rising son, here He comes
the rising son
Good stuff, love the second line
ReplyDeleteI like these words: "i never felt the healing of faithful fingertips, i never felt the power of a kiss from a lover's lips."
ReplyDeleteYeah, too bad you don't like the melody. Maybe you can help me come up with one more modern.
