After a serious run-in with my pal writer's block, I doubled back for a while to my old songwriting routine of forming the lyrics first, and then building a chordal and melodic structure around it, rather than doing the opposite of that or attacking everything at the same time. That's something I had been doing for a little while. Anyway, as always FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED!!
Here are the lyrics:
Unwavering devotion is a cause I've taken up
Taking up arms again, living in the same old sin
Unmatched by thoughts of passing doubt, I know those clouds are breakin' up
I won't lose this time, it's a sign
Of strength
There's not a lot I haven't seen so convince me if you can
To think otherwise, I'm not like other guys
Brick walls and force fields melt away once I know they're all pretend
It's not a question of my character, it's simply what I
stand
For
Stand up
To all of those who dare oppose
And walk the path that you have chose
With conviction of an every man with fire at his heels
Stand up
You'll face it all head on you know
The future is a silly joke
And you're the only one who truly feels
At home
I got love to keep me grounded and life to keep me high
So come on wise old sage, go ahead and turn the page
Your tome of magic remedies, is pretty little lie
But it won't faze me in the slightest way, 'cause all the world's a sta-
Age
And all of this time
I hadn't a clue
Exactly what
I needed to do
Take a moment to find it's not that far of a fall
And stand tall
