<div align=center>My Silent Hope © Derek Jonathan Oswald 2003 Sitting inside the window, Tears flow in a crescendo, She breaks down, from the sound, Of tears calling down inside, Nowhere left to turn or to confide, As the thoughts begin to cloud inside her mind, She turns and says to me as she begins to blur between the lines: "Have you ever felt so alone? Would you miss me when I'm gone? And if I left this world tonight, Could I depend on you to carry on? Would you keep my memory alive, But always keep me by your side, When all that remains of my existence, Is a picture on the wall?" Silent hope is all she has, As she peers on through the glass, Into a world of pure uncertainty, Of dreams she could never grasp, Nobody can ever hold the key, That will help her get back on her feet, All thats left for her to do, Is to stop living in a world of self deceit "Have you ever felt so alone? Would you miss me when I'm gone? And if I left this world tonight, Could I depend on you to carry on? Would you keep my memory alive, But always keep me by your side, When all that remains of my existence, Is a picture on the wall?" Close your eyes and hold tight to me my love, The beauty in your eyes reminds me of the angels up above, Celestial one dont you cry yourself to sleep, Cause I can hear the angels crashing down, and fading when you weep. "Have you ever felt so alone? Would you miss me when I'm gone? And if I left this world tonight, Could I depend on you to carry on? Would you keep my memory alive, But always keep me by your side, When all that remains of my existence, Is a picture on the wall?" If you left my side tonight, My life would fade away from sight, Please dont fall away tonight, My silent hope.. Info: Written about a girl I like who's going through some very rough times in her life right now. The celestial part in the bridge comes from the nickname she likes to go by.</div>
I rarely come into this forum, but I decided I would when I read Will's comment towards his song he wrote in Random Thoughts. While I was here I thought i'd read yours, and I must say that's a damn good job! I love this part: Would you keep my memory alive, But always keep me by your side, When all that remains of my existence, Is a picture on the wall? Awesome job. You're defidently a talented writer.
And the last line of that part I rewrote more then anything in the damned song because I couldn't get the word count to be what I wanted. So that's why that part sounds so good, it was rewritten a lot. Thank you for the comment! . Although will's PWNZ mine.
HELLO DEREK! i dont know you at all, but you are pretty good at this song stuff... i think you should add a tune... i'd love to hear it. oh and, HELLO DANIELLE!
That's, just, amazing! Man, that's like, the best song i've read on the forums...It's filled with emotion and the lyrics fit together perfectly. You're extremely talented Derek...Use that to your advantage Keep it up...
That's really awesome of you to say . But don't forget to read Will's new song as it's my personal pick for best song on the forums, I think its really well done and something you could see on a major label release. Will doesn't get enough kudos for his talents and I think he deserves it for how incredible a writer he is.
