Frog in a Well [Original Song!]

Bout time I made another original song!

Based on the chinese proverb. google it :p

Lyrics:
I look up; turn my face towards the raining sky
Water falls, water rises and I wonder why
Self sufficient and ignorant inside your shell
You would rather stay tucked away in this well

I don't know all that much, but I do know this
A well has no place for active dreamers
Let's get up and go, foot hole by foot hole; if we fall still no wall is too tall for us

For us

And you're scrambling to find some golden eggs to say
When I ask you about the things you did today
Aren't you tired of waiting for something to appear
While you're tied down by some unknown fear

You ask me why on earth I am so eager
I need more than some twelve inch diameter
There's so much more to see than merely stone walls and dim light in short sight and stagnant water

Rest content in what you see as reality
But my friend, that is not enough a life for me
All the stories that I cannot begin to tell
If I spend my life as a frog in a well

I am sure that this place has seen enough of me
Time to make my legs like my mind and wander free
As for now there's a lack of depth to what I see
But soon I will find much larger periphery

The city lights are just around the border
I see them shining shining like no other
Why can't we just be the same, see things in not black and not white and not grey but an array of color?

Rest content in what you see as reality
But my friend, that is not enough a life for me
All the stories that I cannot begin to tell
If I spend my life as a frog in a well

Farewell
I will follow this path
Until
I breathe my last breath
When I'm there
I'll send you parts of the skies
From lands where we
Now only fantasize

Farewell
I'm leaving stone by stone
I don't care
If I do this alone
When I'm there
I will send you a star
The ones that we
Now only see from afar

Rest content in what you see as reality
But my friend, that is not enough a life for me
All the stories that I cannot begin to tell
If I spend my life as a frog in a well

I won't spend my life as a frog in a well

i love! bjork in essence <3

[priszmatic]

wonderful all these different notes & sounds you can hit and make with your voice! & thanks for these lyrics! good reminder to keep roaming colourfully! (btw love your blue guitar!)

[lillilferret]

I liked this. It has a good hook. I would suggest editing it down to about half the current length. Economy of storytelling is important. There isn't much variety and about half way through, even though I was enjoying the song, I was waiting for something different.

[kamikazeflute]

i can safely say that you remind me a lot of bjork, which is a very good thing becuase i view bjork as amusical genius/goddess haha. but seriously, from a singer to a singer, i am glad you have found your voice and NEVER stop singing, you will do the world a favor.
