sitting at home alone strumming my guitar and this just kind of came out what do you think? suggestions for a name. if any one is interested ill post the words and chords later

ok here are the words and chords


D                         C                       G               D
I'm sure some where that the sun still shines
I see a ray of hope in the ties that bind
I know somewhere a love still burns
against the storm it still stands firm

chorus
C                 G                   D
hope and promises we keep
as you sow so shall you reap
words that hurt can be so sweet
like an innocent child as she sleeps

D           C                    G                    D
I know somewhere faith is still strong
I'm sure some one still knows right from wrong
I'm sure out there in a world so mean
there is still a place where a child can dream

chorus

I hope that when the time is right
that you and I will see the light
and maybe when the time has come
we wont regret the things we've done

chorus

ok here's my go at good morning America, cut it short because I suffer from OLD and CRS,  forgot the last verse

I'm guilty as well of not giving a lot of feed back on peoples posting I do have a listen to all of them when I see them. but not knowing squat about music other what some else has said " I know what I like" I wouldn't know what to tell some one to improve a song.

I miss all the fun stuff, have a great time every one

ok so here is the do over, some of my critics complained about the chorus (  you know who you are and I thank you for that its the reason I post here) I must say I agree with them so here's the second go round . I tried to record it but I am still suffering from the crud and sounded bad even by my standards so you will have wait a few more days to hear it. that is if this version passes the muster. Let me know what you think

(D)                                 (G)         (A)
knew a boy who was torn in half
(A)                   (G)     (A)             (G)       (D)
watched him sail away on a sunken raft

he lost his mind on a sea of dreams
tried to cleanse his soul in a mountain stream

the prodigal son who would not come home
he was bound and chained to the seeds he sown

chorus
(D)      (G)           (A)       (G)                              (D)
now there's a broken branch in the family tree
             (G)             (A)                    (G)     (D)
yet the tree still grows   it will still be here
            (G)          (D)
when those feelings go
D)      (G)           (A)       (G)                              (D)
now there's a broken branch in the family tree
             (G)             (A)                    (G)     (D)
yet the tree still grows   it will still stand tall
            (G)          (D)
in the winter snow

he could not deny that mistakes were made
but the token queen he could not persuade

closed his ears and he shut the door
that's when I realized it was never more

now life's a two way street
I can only pray that someday we meet
chorus

I don't have a name for this one yet and there may be a another verse added. fighting a summer chest cold and heading to work tomorrow so may be a few days before I post a recording of it. this song will probably not make sense to most of you but to those that know me it will

thanks everyone for the positive comments, seems like the older I get the more  questions I have and fewer the answers become. the one thing I know for sure is that we are just blip in the grand scheme of things.
thanks again Amy for the inspiration,

I had not written anything for awhile for various reasons. the other day I was listening to Amy's new song and reading all the post associated with it and sparked something. so thank you Amy for an inspiration.

well the world wont stop when the well runs dry
(G)                                             (D)                  (A)
just keeps on spinning while problems multiply

the world don't care if we fool ourselves
she cant hear the ringing of our bells

she will still be here when the cities turn to dust
and the sun will rise when our dreams have all been crushed

chorus

                       (D)                            (G)                      (A)
because the world goes on no matter what you do
(D)                      (G)                            (A)
it don't matter what your point of view
(G)                                              (D)                                (A)
because the stars still shine when our time is through


the world goes on when the last king's been crowned
she will still be laughing when the jester's not around

the world wont stop when our children cry
she keeps on spinning while we sing our lullaby's

the world wont stop when the last dollars made
it will keep on turning when the final songs been played

chorus

the world don't care if you loose your way
keeps on turning no matter to who you pray

the world wont stop when we've said our last goodbye
keeps on spinning while the innocent are crucified

the world wont stop when your time is past
live everyday like it was your last
live everyday like it was your last
live everyday like it was your last

nice one Amy

I was KNOCKING around an idea of a song for next month when this show
came ON  tv about subliminal messages and I thought to myself
good HEAVENS that's the song but before I could write it down someone came
to my DOOR and i lost my train of thought
so I'm just going to go along with what ever Roger suggest

https://soundcloud.com/mojo01/wagon-wheel-cover
here's my go at wagon wheel,
nice job by every one so far
and now for some CCR

I own a T5Z just like the one in the picture , I paid a lot less  than retail at a Taylor road show event. still was not cheap and I would not have bought it but my dear wife bought it for me after I kept going back to it after I would try all the other guitars. it sounds great I cant do it justice with my playing but it is easiest playing guitar I have  ever picked up. come on down to Texas I will let you play it all night

that's great bill

its not the cover song of the month  but I had been working on this one and thought I post it. they say music helps you through the tough times I don't know, when I get down I don't feel like playing but this is a song I can play when I am going through a rough patch

thanks for the positive comments on sound cloud as for those subtle changes that was due to me not knowing the song

here's my 2 cents worth
https://soundcloud.com/mojo01/after-the-gold-rus-cover

thanks for the positive feed back folks that's what keeps me posting .
