I Am Here To Stay

     Oh, what a great image. Lol. But yeah. Here is my new song. :) But that is the end of the story.
     The story begins with my love of Michelle Branch music from my pre-teen years and my admiration that she wrote her own songs. I have since then written songs, but they all stayed in my poetry notebook, because I couldn't accompany myself. So I set a goal to learn how to play guitar. Took the beginning class a year ago last Spring...Check! And I had the goal to write a song on my guitar, so I could serenade people... Just last month... Check! And this is the 2nd song that has fulfilled that goal. (I will record the 1st one soon). Next up... perform on stage? Hmm, it might be awhile. :p

 Oh, and upon demand, here are the lyrics. Sorry by guitar was louder than my voice.

 

Hey, you told me I should run,

But I can't see why.

A princess isn't meant to be saved.

Let me stand by your side,

Lend you sight, be your guide.

Just please let me stay!

CHORUS 1

I (don't want to) give up today.

No, I (don't want to) run away.

All the world may (come) to fight us,

But I (prefer) to stay.

Yes, (please let me) stay.

I know there's dragons, pirates, thieves,

And of course I'm scared of these,

But I can hold my own with a sword.

Who cares for treasured gold

From stories 'ever old?

When our love shall be our reward!

CHORUS 2

I (won't) give up today.

No, I (can't) run away.

All the world may (try) to fight us,

But I (am here) to stay.

Yes, (I am here) to stay.

Yes, treat me like a queen,

I'm a fan of chivalry.

But you're my prince and I wish to stay by you.

I know alone you are strong.

You may win before long.

But together we can't lose!

CHORUS 3

WE (won't) give up today.

No, WE (refuse to) run away.

All the evil of darkest night

we will conquer and set right

We will greet the light of day

But WE ARE HERE to stay. 

Yes, I am here to stay.
