Lyrics

I wrote a song! I rather like it. Here's the lyrics:

Feeling First (based on an ee cummings poem)

"I think that in a past life I must have been a pirate
They tried to teach me about my life from books
And I set out for the sea
Now I'm just a little girl who's read of many places
And bored as hell from living in a Detroit Library.

Chorus:
Good Lord get me out of here,
Sweet Jesus rescue me
And save me from the doldrums of a one-place-destiny.
I've been itching for the road just as long as I have known
That kisses are a better fate than wisdom.

Teach me how to breath by breathing on a mountain top
Teach me how to walk by walking on an old dusty road
Teach me how to love by strolling under nightlife city streetlights
Teach me how to find my balance sailing on a weathered sailboat.

Chorus

Fill my life with faces of friends and enemies
By loving them I'll learn to love you more
Teach me about sorrow from dining with the rich
Teach me about joy from laughing with the poor

Chorus

Teach me to forgive from forgiving
Teach me how to love from loving
Teach me how to give from giving
Teach me how to live from living

I stand before you Jesus as an open book
My empty pages waiting for your pen
'Cause no one tells a story like a Living Word
So kiss me Lord, and let my life begin"


And Chuck Wilkinson said it sounded like Woody Guthrie! Ta DA! Take that fascists! Hahaha.
