A couple of songs

Ene, I followed your advice to write what I feel, and Iridescent_Revival_<3, I followed your advice: kia kaha, stay strong, and to be proud of what I write because it's a part of me. These two songs are what came out of that advice


Moving On

This is the beginning
I unfurl my wings
I reach out my arms
Beneath a brand new sky

For the first time ever
Believing in myself
Believing I can leave
Who I thought I was behind

All is said
All is done
I forgive you now

What you did
How it hurt
I forgot somehow

All that matters to me
I see right infront of me
I lift up my eyes
I'm moving on

I'm never going back
That's another life
Just what's here and now
I'll carry it with me

Looking to the future
Towards infinity
Believing in my dreams
Now all the pain is gone

All is said
All is done
I forgive you now

What you did
How it hurt
I forgot somehow

All that matters to me
I see right infront of me
I lift up my eyes
I'm moving on

Underneath the night sky
Counting every star
Every one a blessing
I've come to know so far

Do you think you've hurt me?
Do you think I'm scarred
By all that's in the past?
I'm stronger than you know

You know my name
But you have no clue who I am
Now watch me shine
As I take all my dreams and make them mine

All is said
All is done
I forgive you now

What you did
How it hurt
I forgot somehow

All that matters to me
I see right infront of me
I lift up my eyes
I'm moving on

You can go your own way
Knowing I will be just fine
I lift up my eyes
I'm moving on


Shine

Let me catch your smile
I'll put it in a little jar
Save it for a rainy day
For when I need
Some sunshine

It's times like these when
I could hold you for eternity
Never want to let you go
Oh, please be mine
Just be mine

I want to keep you in a golden cage
So I can love you for a lifetime
But maybe one day you'll spread your wings
I'll let my tears shine your way to the sky

Because I love you
Though my heart might not be your home
You brighten up my every day
Right now, for me
That's just fine

You're so much brighter
Than any star I've ever seen
So keep the Moon, Neptune and Mars
Oh, please be mine
And just shine

I want to keep you in a golden cage
So I can love you for a lifetime
But maybe one day you'll spread your wings
I'll let my tears shine your way to the sky

Just fly
Don't look down
But don't forget me
I know I shouldn't
Hold on but I

Want to keep you in a golden cage
So I can love you for a lifetime
But maybe one day you'll spread your wings
I'll let my tears shine your way to the sky

I want to keep you in a golden cage
So I can love you for a lifetime
But maybe one day you'll spread your wings
I'll let my tears shine your way to the sky

Just fly...

Even though I wrote Moving On about three weeks ago and Shine just now, there seems to be a trend of wings, flying and stars, planets etc...I was thinking of changing their lyrics a bit so they weren't so similar in that sense, but obviously I changed my mind. I wonder if my lyrics are trying to tell me something, or it might just be that I have a same-y mindset. Who knows? xD

I don't really think the lyrics sound too similar. If you hadn't mentioned it I wouldn't have even thought about it.

And.... wow. Amazing The first one is so beautiful. I love the chorus and the bridge. It's really powerful!

Ahhh! Thanks Whew, so it was just me thinking they were too similar. I need to stop thinking about my writing like that. It's become a bad habit xD

It means a lot to me to know you think that Your lyrics are so lovely, I felt my two didn't scratch the surface of yours, but I told myself that was probably just me and put them up. I'm so glad I did now. When I read them back, I find myself feeling more and more pleased with them

loved moving on!

I love, love, love!! Your songs are so beautiful!!

very beautiful
