Topic: My world has changed

When lockdown began I was quite relieved, I like staying in and don't mind not boozing. But Sunday I realized that I'm beginning to miss the gigs, the traveling freely and all that. So this came to mind. Please feel free to add your own verse about how you are and have been affected.

My world has changed.
It's not what it's been all my life.
Truth be told I wanted it to stop.
The gigs, the traveling, the work.
The drinking, the doing the same thing, week in.
Week out
After these months of doing nothing.
Wouldn't it be good to do it all again? 

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: My world has changed

Phill I like your words. After loosing the end of our summer to being locked in it was great to get out and do my thing again even though it is winter here now.. Here is my attempt to add to your words.

Truth be told I wanted it to stop.
Before they put our life's on hold.
The gigs, the traveling, the work.
My world has changed.
With my mind rearranged
The drinking
The  traveling
The Work.
What I thought was a pain.
I would love to have again.
The drinking
The  traveling
The Work.
Another gig wouldn’t hurt.
It doesn’t seem like work.
The drinking.
The traveling.
The Work
After these months of doing nothing.
Wouldn't it be good to do it all again? 
The drinking.
The traveling.
The Work.

Nice one Pete, I like the way you found a hook line, or three lines! Anyone else have anything to add? Please do

Re: My world has changed

Phill,
Nice mind teaser !

Peatle - cool addition.

Here is my contribution -

This could become a song if we tried hard enough smile  !

This old world has changed,
It changed my perspective on life
I’m ready for these troubles to fade away
I used to complain, looking back it was sad
I guess my life really wasn’t so bad,
wouldn't you say?
Seems like the goods things, we take for granted
But when they’re gone, we wish we never had.

Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.
