THEME
The theme of the contest has been suggested by the winner of our first contest 3 months ago, it was @ablaze
Go check the man's skills, he is a talented writer and a good friend now!
THE THEME IS : GRATITUDE
GOOD LUCK!!!
I would write one where the lyrics are just "thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you" but Natalie Merchant beat me to it. Will have to ponder.
Hahah thanks I like your spirit ! Ponder my friend...Ponder!
You might not be where you want to be
Neither are you where you used to be
I guess that's the way the life goes
Don't let yourself be dragged down by woes
I mean, what's life without a little gratitude
Chorus
No matter the struggles and pains
No matter the money and fame
Just be thankful for where you're right now
Oh what a small price to pay
Down along the way
Just give thanks
For all the little things
I mean, these little things define our lives.
Chorus
No matter the struggles and pains
No matter the money and fame
Just be thankful for where you're right now
Thanks for your entry !
What a beautiful contest and great opportunity that you give to all of us who can participate, I am not a writer but I have always harbored in my heart the desire to thank life for the mere fact of existing, here my creation, to which I call:
Ode to my life
First stanza
I'm living a dream, where I can walk, laugh, sing and dream, that's why I want to give thanks, first to God, for giving me the tools to live in harmony in a world without equal, for living in a world, that although many times hurt you teaches you with every gesture to love and forgive, then to my parents who with love and perseverance have taught me to fight, to always want to overcome every challenge of destiny.
CHORUS
Thank you my God, for having taught me to love without complaining and to forgive without judging, thank you parents, for giving me the tools to fight without resting and my goals to reach.
Second Stanza
To my friends, who have always been in the good and more in the bad, when I do not want them to apply me, but let me see the mistakes in my way, even though I may be annoyed, finally, thanks to those who do not want me But they are still there for my mistakes and they make me think that if I can get up and start over.
Thank you for your entry!
Verse 1
I was walking down Daddy savage road yesterday
I saw a man on one leg, limping happily
My heart sank when I remembered all I had done was complain all day
With two feet, two hands and a job that paid handsomely
Chorus
Gratitude, the ultimate attitude I need to cultivate
Lord help me thank you for all I've got,
I don't want to be an ingrate
Let me be thankful for provisions even when they come late
Lord help me be grateful lest my insatiable desires turn me to someone I know not.
Verse 2
I stood, staring at the one-legged man limping into the distance now whistling
And I smiled as tears ran down my cheeks
My heart resolved to be thankful for life, family, love and every other thing.
Now I would be grateful for everything, even the air I breathe
Thanks for your entry!
