SONG DRAFTS
THE LYRICS re-thought (Examples)
Verse 1
Goodbye to the world
Those could be the words we have to say
If we continue like we do
And we do not change our way
You had the grace, were beautiful
Before you met the human race
We set you on the treadmill
And we made you change your face
Chorus 1
And it seems to me you live your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain sets in
And your beauty will always stay here
When we are so long dead and gone
Your candle will still burn so bright
When we see what we have done
Verse 2
Dignity we’ve lost
We didn’t care about anything around
Made ourselves to superstars
And didn’t hear earths weeping sound
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
What we’ve done to you – througout the years
Chorus 2
And it seems to me you live your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain sets in
And your beauty will always stay here
When we are so long dead and gone
Your candle will still burn so bright
When we see what we’ve done
Verse 3
Hello Mother earth
I apologize for what we’ve done
You had the grace to bear all that
Out of billions I was one
Hello Mother Earth
Maybe we can realize our past
And start to treat you otherwise
So we can change the lane at last
Chorus 3
And it seems to me you live your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain sets in
And your beauty will always stay here
When we are so long dead and gone
Your candle will still burn so bright
When we see what we’vre done
Your candle will still burn so bright
When we are so long dead and gone
The Days 2 Come
[Verse 1]
Yesterday, all our troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay,
We can’t go back to yesterday
[Verse 2]
Suddenly, nothing is just like it used to be
There are shadows hanging over me
Oh our today came suddenly
[Chorus]
Why we went too far, I don’t know, I couldn’t say
I know there’s something wrong, now I long for yesterday
[Verse 3]
Yesterday, peace was such an easy game to play
Now we need a place to hide away,
We can’t go back to yesterday
[Chorus]
We have to change our world , yes I know, and have to say
I know there’s something wrong,
We have to act and start today
[Verse]
Yesterday, I did not know what had to be done
Now we need to act, stand up as one
Oh I believe in the days 2 come
Hollywood Hills (They’re Burning)
– written 2 years BEFORE it actually happened –
[Verse 1]
No, this is not the time or the place for narrow minded
Cos this is the end of the rainbow
Where everyone should be sad
No, I don’t want all that but I must face the facts ahead
Cos my life belongs to this part of the world
Right Next to the ocean’s waves
[Chorus1]
Bye, bye Hollywood Hills, they`re burning
Blazing fires keep on churning
I can’t come back to walk these streets again
Don’t go Hollywood Hills forever
[Verse 2]
They are gone the morning walks on the sweet sunset
There are only smoking ruines
That’s no fantasy, you can bet
I take a part of you with me now and you won’t get it back
And a part of me will remember,
Wanna keep it forever, dear
Woouuoo…
[Chorus2]
Bye, bye Hollywood Hills, they`re burning
Blazing fires keep on churning
I can’t come back to walk these streets again
Don’t go Hollywood Hills forever
Bye, bye to our old world, we have to
Change lanes where ever we need to, we will
Come along, so we can stand together
Come back Hollywood Hills but better
[Bridge]
Long decisions here do not work
Everybody around should be fighting
For a brand new start,
Really brand new start
[Chorus3]
Bye, bye Hollywood Hills, they`re burning
Blazing fires keep on churning
I can’t come back to walk these streets again
Don’t go Hollywood Hills forever
Bye, bye to our old world, we have to
Change lanes where ever we need to, we will
Come along, so we can stand together
Come back Hollywood Hills but better
Bye, bye to our old world, we have to
Change lanes where ever we need to, we will
Come along, so we can stand together
Come back Hollywood Hills but better
[Outro]
Hollywood Hills forever, yeah,
Hollywood Hills forever
