Love is a River
This song is somewhat of a jam-sesh. I wrote it yesterday afternoon after tiring of reading my business associations textbook. Whenever there's musical inspiration, I like to run with it and finish my homework later. :) Please excuse the choppy cuts here and there--I kept forgetting the words (and chords) since I was still kind of making it up as I went. Here are the lyrics...
Love is a river
Love is a fire
How can this be?
It flows the deepest
It burns the brightest
in every part of me.
What will happen
When I find a way to set it free
Let it be?
It will light the night
It will drown the fight
It will set the captive free
It will start a blaze
In these trepid days
one the blind can't help but see
And believe
Love is a passion
brought forth from ashen
things been burned away
Love is a feeling
the power of healing
washes over me each day
What will happen
when I meet you face to face
All fear will flee away
Where Hatred, Anger, Darkness linger
Love will battle through and renew

1L
Here's another song of mine--written during my first semester of law school. It represents the very frustrating, challenging months of that first year, but also has a glimmer of hope and vision for what's to come. I now present: "1L."
Why do we cry?
Why do we wallow?
Pity our lives
For others to follow
Why don't we try?
Stuck in our sorrow
Throw off our lives
When there's hope in tomorrow
Look beyond the case and brief
See the time when you and me (I know, I know...you and I)
We will be the judge.
That's why we try
For those filled with sorrow
We hold their lives
And seek justice for tomorrow
All you knew, all you were
All you thought about the world
Is overturned
