Topic: Outside looking In

Here's a new lyric I've been working on. I haven't got the arrangement yet. Still a work in progress. I see it as a kind of introspective spiritual thing...with the chorus asking the question...


Outside Looking In

I’m on the outside looking in.
I’ve been watching the wind.
I’ve been down on the beaches.
I’ll go there again.
In wondrous amazement I look to the sky,
At the stars up above me,
Questioning ‘why’?

Chorus
What do you believe in?
I believe in love.
What do you believe in?
I believe in love.
But do you believe in Heaven Above?
I believe in love.

I’m on the outside looking in.
I’ve been talking to friends.
Not one here among us,
Knows where I’ve been.
In my mind in the morning, and the deep, darkest night.
Drinking in creation,
Until the sweet By and By.

What do you believe in?
I believe in love.
What do you believe in?
I believe in love.
But do you believe in Heaven Above?
I believe in love.

I’m on the outside looking in.
I must be myself.
No good to be someone,
For somebody else.
I’ll try in my lifetime to be true and kind.
Walking through the forest,
Hopeful and blind.

What do you believe in?
I believe in love.
What do you believe in?
I believe in love.
But do you believe in Heaven Above?
I believe in love.

Hi Snowden 300,

I’m on the outside looking in.
I’ve been watching the wind.
I’ve been down on the beaches.
I’ll go there again.
In wondrous amazement I look to the sky,
At the stars up above me,
Questioning ‘why’?.

I love these lyrics. Only i dont ask "WHY" anymore. I enjoy and soak in everything..

very well done!

Re: Outside looking In

hey thanks all, as I said, it's a work in progress. As soon as it's refined more I'll revisit it. No doubt there will be changes...always is.
