Another Song

Hey guys!

I haven't posted for a while and that's because I'm finishing up my first year in college! YAY!!! This coming week is the last I'll have to spend here until the fall, so I've been writing again and as you know, I write songs for my books sometimes if the scene calls for a bit of musica. Welp! The one I was working on last night definitely needed a song and so ya'll get to see the lyrics to "I Asked the Clouds to Rain" by a group of mine named Evermore.

I Asked the Clouds to Rain
by Evermore

            I left this road as a tear on a crowded street...

            Left it behind, but somehow it has found me again.

            Looked to the sky and closed my eyes— sorting thoughts in my head.

            Let out a cry and realized this was the end of the old me.

            ‘Cause now it’s time to find my voice. Honey, I’ve run out of choices.

            I’m tired of holding onto things

            That only bring me down. It’s time to learn to stand on my two feet.

           

            So I asked the clouds to rain; I asked the clouds to pour.

            I asked them to erase the pain I couldn’t carry anymore.

            I already saw yesterday, so tomorrow seems bright,

            And was given a new today so as I blew a kiss to the sky

            I asked the clouds to rain.

            I said goodbye to that old world that I knew…

            I said goodbye, but somehow it has found me again.

            It’s hard to fly when your mind is stuck on dry land.

            And old me tried staying behind but now I’m tired of suffering.

            I have to try to find my voice. ‘Cause in the end I know all choices

            Boil down to these two things:

You can sit and burn under the sun or fight for liberty.

So I asked the clouds to rain; yeah I asked the clouds to pour.

I asked them to erase the pain I couldn’t carry anymore.

I already saw yesterday, so tomorrow seems bright,

And was given a new today so as I blew a kiss to the sky

I asked the clouds to rain.

Love,

Deserae

Prerna- Thank you! I will continue to power through because you're right--- I don't avoid edits because I think they're hard... I'm afraid of doing everything I can for a manuscript and having it be finished in a "The End" sort of way. That's crazy sounding to me!
