Resistance
something deep inside of me swells up like an ocean wave
as I gaze at the stars tonight, alone but for the wind at my side and I hope your looking up too, and feeling the same thing seeing all is not lost, that tomarrows another day here we are in the brackish of life , things are not going all that well I belive things happen for a reason ,all part of a greater plan and I hope you are in it, I pray that your in it I didn't ask for any of this, it was all given to me and I'm glad I had no choice, cause I might have chosen otherwise when things started collecting, and dammed my river you were the path of least resistance, by which I flowed on here we are in the brackish of life ,things are not going all that well I believe things happen for a reason, its all part of a greater plan and I hope your in it, when this storm passes, I pray you'll be standing there |

Come on, you are better than "tommorrow's another day". Here's a general tip for writing lyrics. If the listener/reader KNOWS what is coming next--don't do it. That always has served me well. I am searching for some flow here, as well as a theme, but the theme doesn't need to reveal itself in the first stanza, necessarily. Also, the vocabularly could probably use a little help. "Feeling the same thing". I don't know, try to mix it up a bit. That is really simple. Again, nothing special here. I definitely wouldn't repeat "you're in it". While it is passable for one line, sort of, definitely not worth two. Try some variety. Maybe something like "And I hope you've been in it, since the day it was written" or just something different. No no no. Do NOT repeat words in the same line unless there is a specific reason for doing so. All it does is make it sound like you wrote it in ten seconds and couldn't think of anything better. Do somethign at least like "I'm glad I had no options, cuz I might have chozen otherwise". Although I don't really liek the "otherwise" anyway, at least then you would be using different words. That last line is just bad. Sorry, not much else I can say about it. Not only are you using a cliche (cliches=bad) but then, "by which I flowed on" is just a grammatically tortured, flow-killing, detrimental line. So yeah anyway, the theme is pretty obvious. It is a usual one, though. I have always said songs should either have new themes, or express old themes in new ways. I'm not really sure this one did either but at least, except for one line, it wasn't bad. So in review: No cheesy rhymes No forced rhymes Don't repeat words unless there is a very specific reason to Try to keep it unique Try to use some better vocabulary Maybe a bit longer, also AVOID CLICHES If they know whats coming, that's a bad thing Hope I helped.

^The point of sharing songs is to get other's reviews and advice.

^I know but since I can never understand what you are saying I thought I should clarify what I was trying to do... Wasn't sure whether you understood or not since, well, I'm NEVER sure exactly what you say...
