Peavey ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Howdy everyone,
Well, what an inspiring week! No long stories why, but I've been in a mood to write and this is the newest. What kind of music do you hear behind it? I haven't even touched the guitar, yet- I wrote this today while driving around for work.
(This one was inspired a bit by the rhyming thread, too. I tried to keep the verses in AABC DDAC. Kinda fun and challenging.)
Chris
“The Mouse and the Eagle”
(Verse)
At times I feel I’ve got tiny ears
That stress and stretch and strain to hear
The faintest hint of coming danger
And scurry back to my hole
And when I’ve wandered out too long
I get the sense that something’s wrong
And cast my eyes about in fear
Of something I don’t know.
(Chorus)
It’s a wide, wide world when you feel so small
I’ll just hide in the grass from the size of it all
I won’t even see the sky when it falls
Just the ground I’ve always loved
(Verse)
At times I feel I’ve got broad wings
That catch the lift of the wind as it sings
And carries me far from coming danger
To a freedom lost to the low
And when I’ve soared above too long
I get the sense that something’s wrong
My eyes have shown me all the things
I never wanted to know
(Chrous)
It’s a wide, wide world that makes me feel small
I’ll just hide in the sky from the size of it all
I wish I could stay in the sky till it falls
With the winds I’ve always loved
(Ending)
So the mouse will stay will his brother and sisters
And hide in the brambles and stone
While the eagle will soar above ever so high
The eagle will soar alone
The eagle will soar alone
