So I started writing a song awhile back and i just re-found it on my computer....and i decided i really like some of the lyrics...theres a story behind this 'song' or 'poem' or whatever it is...if youve ever heard the Taylor Swift song "change", it kinda is along the same lines. Taylor Swift wrote her song when she was trying to be successful in her dream, being a singer/songwriter. How she tried and tried but it never came, how she continuely got rejected, how everytime she tried so hard to get to the top she got knocked right back down. She gave up writing the song until the day she won her first big award. She then when home and continued to write the ending of the song, telling the people listening to the song, that this is what has happened, this is what i went through, and this is where im at now, look at me. Ive gotten a lot of inspiration from that song of hers and to this day I tear up hearing it because of how successfull she is and has become. Anyways, I was in Florida this past December, and for all of you who know me know im madly in love with Florida, and how its always been a dream of mine to get the heck out of Iowa and move to Florida where I can sing/perform at DisneyWorld. We were there this past december and the night before coming back to Iowa we stayed at this extremely nice hotel...our hotel was a suite so there was the actual bedroom where all 4 of us slept in, and then it had a living room area off of the bedroom. Mom, Scott, and Madison went to bed but of course I couldnt sleep, because everytime we leave to come back home from that amazing state, i get extremely moody. So I couldnt sleep, but I had my computer. No internet though, so what did I decide to do? Write. I had nothing to write about since I already wrote journal entries for every day that we had been in Florida, so I decided to turn my iPod on and try to revamp all my thoughts. The 1st song that came on was Taylor Swifts "Change", and thats what gave me inspiration. Like her song, I have this dream....a dream that seems way too hard to reach at times, but in the back of my head, for some weird reason, I feel its possible....now, unlike Taylor, I wrote the entire song even though Im not successful like her and I havent been through the crap she went through to get where she is....but besides all that, this song is powerful to me, as well as hers is to me. So Im going to share a little of it with you. Whether its a "song" or a "poem" or just my way of venting, id like some input. Im in no way a songwriter, and I never have claimed to be, I just like certain lyrics out of this.."whatever you wanna call it".. and I hold them dear to me when I think about my "future".....so bare with me and tell me what you think....theres two certain parts of this that I really like and Ive listed them below. I dont feel like putting the entire song down just because im not fully HAPPY with it....so just deal with what i like so far....thank you and goodnight
CHORUS 2
What if your life changed in front of you
What if you had the power to change
What if you got the choice to stay or leave
Would you do it or hesitate
The wonders of the world can only be seen
If you take that chance and never wonder what might have been
You can only wonder now
The tears keep comeing down
and wonder if theres still a chance to do..
do what?..if what?..what if....
.....AND......
ENDING
This time I seen the world like it could never be seen
I took the chance of lifetime,just like in my dreams
Its up to me now In wondering whats written in the text
I just know now..It's not what if...it's whats next...
