taylortotmom Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Last year, I told Sunfish I would write a song for her while she was in the hospital. Well, here you go Melissa- this one is for you- I just wrote it Swimming Towards the SunOne more battle for you to faceDemons dancing ?round all over the placeBut you?ve got what it takesTo bring them to their kneesYou?re a fighter with a heart of goldand you?re gonna be okay- wait and seeSometimes you gotta choose to sink or swimKeep your head above water when the tides move inAnd I know you, you?re a strong oneYou?re swimming towards the sunLife can throw some curve ballsThat can nearly knock you off your feetNot sure which way to goOr what destiny you?ll meetBut you gotta keep goingThough it seems like such a fightSometimes you gotta choose to sink or swimKeep your head above water when the tide moves inAnd I know you, you?re a strong oneYou?re swimming towards the sunAnyone else might?ve just sank down but you just keep on splashing around??.(Repeat chorus)Carmen M.

flop Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Wow Carmen, that's fantastic.I was sort of singing it in my mind as I read it - i wonder if my tune was anything like the tune you've written for the song?Would you be able to make a home recording of it to send to Melissa - I bet she would love to hear it.Flop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
