YES! I finished the wretched song! I've taken nearly 9 months to come up with a tune that I really like and can be satisfied with.
Have picked up the courage to pen lyrics myself again, finished the text to title song for Buddhist Fellowship's Vesak play/musical called Passage of Time. Here are the lyrics:
Passage of Time
Words and Music by me
The past we know
A figment of the mind
That plays with light
Captured in your eye
The thoughts evoke
A tape-less TV show
A show you can recall
But not in whole
This is what the present does to you
You may not know you may not feel
CHORUS:
Walk that road, there’s no turning back
Keep looking straight, don’t ever look back
Go with the flow; you can’t resist
The seconds left behind out of your reach
No return as you make progress
What you’ve done forget your regrets
Time to forgive and time to forget
What is the past is in white and black
Walk through the passage of time
Forced through the passage of time
Go on the passage of time
Always the passage of time
Someone goes by
He/She walks before the light
That snap of time
Leaves his/her print behind
Frame up that print
A silhouette gone by
And that is all survives
After we die
This is what the present does to you
You may not know you may not feel
To CHORUS
The fun part of this song is the last chorus, where three soloists enter at different times creating a canon over a repeated chord progression (D - D/C - G/B - Gm/Bb -)
