Floating on the wind (Don’t take away tomorrow)”

(Christopher Van Name)

For the children of Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and for all the children lost to the madness of untamed violence and lack of common sense gun control legislation. We failed them. Regardless of our differences, we’re supposed to protect them and ensure that tomorrow is their’s.

I saw it all in front of me Where I was going Who I wanted to be Climbing mountains Racing to the stars Nothing seemed too far For me to reach Just a child Still so young Dreams of sailing to the sun Tomorrow was so far away But that was yesterday Please don’t take it All away from me Now I’m floating on the wind High above a world so loud Like a cloud that has nowhere to be Breaking this bond between the earth and me Letting go of it all You can’t touch me now You can’t hurt me now I’ll never be afraid again That I might fall And I know You couldn’t help yourself You were lost in the flood Long ago No one helped you They could have stopped you Until they do We’ll never know Until they do We’ll never know Now I see it all in front of me Where I’m headed Who I’m meant to be High above the mountains Racing with the stars Now that I’m gone Nothing seems too far For me to reach Just a child I was so young Now I’m soaring past the sun There’s nothing you can take away from me And now I’m floating on the wind High above a world so loud Like a cloud that has nowhere to be Breaking this bond between the earth and me Letting go of it all And you can’t touch me now You can’t hurt me now And I’ll never be afraid again That I might fall No, I’ll never be afraid again That I might fall.

Roe vs. Wade. Politicians and their puppets have no say in what a woman does with her body. It’s not for them to say. It’s her choice.

Home Alone

By Rowan Wilton


This song is from the perspective of an ambitious house bound individual who is daydreaming of fulfilling their heart’s wildest desires while enjoying earthly comforts. Though our protagonist has been wronged on many accounts by many past tormentors, there is an overwhelming sensation of bliss captured in the words, and newfound motivation brought forth from the careful contemplation in isolation.

Matters of the Heart

By Brian Hendrix


This one just popped into my head while I was trying to get to sleep. It shares a similar title with other songs, but the lyrics here are totally unique. I like the premise of it and how it turned out. Could fit into multiple genres, depending on any type of arrangement one wanted to put to it.

She never plays fair

By Howard Aronson


This lyric could be about a relationship, or just a friendship where the person doesn't care that you're caught in a web so to speak. Time and time again they let you down, but you keep going back for more. They find it amusing that you do, and they turn up the heat and do it even more. Basically they don't care at all, and think it's funny that you try so hard and they have total control over you. This happens all too often in relationship and friendships. That's because people are so consumed with themselves, it's so selfish that they take whatever they can get from a friendship or a relationship and just keep on going without reciprocating.
