The Songwriter's Song

The Songwriter's Song
Written by Raymond Lee Peltier and Michael Wilde
©2006

As thoughts pass in these waking moments
I dream myself to sleep;
Emotions fill my mind with music
My heart so gently weeps.

From the visions flowing through me
Peering at me from my bed;
I hear "Get with the flow, it's the show of shows
One that must not be mislead."

So I sing a song for the songwriter who writes so much in vain.
A song for the singer who don’t mind singing in the rain.
A song for the musician trying to write that one great song.
And a song for the listener without whom none of these can belong.

Yet this is my dream
A dream of reaching notoriety as strange as that may seem;
Yes this is my song, the one I wrote in fun
It's the song of the writer who has not yet begun.

So I sing a song for the songwriter who writes so much in vain.
A song for the singer who don't mind singing in the rain.
A song for the musician trying to write that one great song.
And a song for the listener without whom none of these can belong.

As thoughts pass in these waking moments
I dream myself to sleep.
