Poetry Monday

Okay-here's another song published with Ted Daffen Music, its been requested to be recorded by an up and coming vocalist-though its been a bit and I still dont know where its at in the process...I thought I'd share.
I promise next week I'll put in a cheerful song lol.

WATERFALLS

You are the mountain,
Larger than life.
Strong and unchanging,
Though icy winds freeze you and cut like a knife

You keep your secrets,
Hidden so well
Cool and unyielding
Though inside you burn fires hotter than Hell.
And in all the history of history
You never fell.

I am the river
Flowing and free.
I'm going somewhere,
Though I'm not sure just where somewhere might be.

If I stop for too long
It'll kill me I'm sure.
Movement is my life,
Change me and I'll be a river no more.
But changing the course of a river,
Is what a mountain is for.

Chorus:
And the only time,
That water falls.
Is when it reaches the top of the mountain,
And hears the call.
Sayin' go on and give it a try...
You'll never get another chance to fly.
Though you dont know whats on the other side,
There's no choice at all.
When faced with a mountain....water falls.


You keep me close to you,
Take all I can give.
I give you new life,
You give me shelter and reason to live.

Though I keep searching,
you're holdin on fast.
But our world is changing,
and neither one knows how long its gonna last.
I long for the future,
and you can't let go of the past.

Chorus:
And the only time,
That waterfalls
Is when it reaches the top of the mountain,
And hears the call.
Sayin' go on and give it a try,
You'll never get another chance to fly
Though you dont know whats on the other side,
there's no choice at all.
When faced with a mountain...waterfalls.
