THE RHYTHM INSIDE
Copyright © 2003 by Eben Brooks

You've been working longer and longer
You've been sleeping less every night
You haven't played or had fun in so long
And you wonder why nothing feels right

You say you don't know who you are
You say you gotta find out real soon
You say you gotta do it without me
'Cause you say I wouldn't give you the room

But leaving me won't solve your problem
Or make you feel less lost in the tide
It won't matter if things around you are different
If you don't change the rhythm inside

You say you want to see other people
'Cause being with me doesn't feel like it should
You're looking outside for something within you
And you wonder why nothing feels good

But you can feel any way you want to
The choice is yours; you only have to decide
Whether to run from your fear and your sadness
Or to change the rhythm inside

You say you love me and you know that I love you
I'll help you find a way to heal your heart
Let's work together to carry us through this
'Cause we're more than the sum of our parts

Of course you don't have to take me with you
Although I'd love to come along for the ride
I only hope that you'll take that journey
To change the rhythm inside

Thank you. Glad you like!

Not a bad song, but the acoustic guitar really needs to be tuned. It hurts.
