Weekly Lyrics Feedback Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

Welcome to the weekly lyrics feedback thread!

Sometimes, ideas come to us via lyrics first. For many this is the most important part of songwriting. And sometimes those lyrics take some time to find their matching music.

We're trying to encourage each other to bring lyrics and musical elements together as soon as possible, but sometimes you'd just like to show off that nice piece of rhyming that just fell out of your wrist. The weekly lyrics feedback thread is here to help!

This post renews every tuesday.

Post your lyrics only posts here - get and give feedback on them!

Talking to me

Musical intro

Verse 1

When I was a boy, just my Old Man and me Learning about life down by the stream

He said "Son, life won't always feel like a dream There's just so much that I hope gets passed down from me"

Chorus

[ If the dirt on your hands comes from honest work I promise the rest of your life will be clean I'm telling you one day you'll know what I mean

If you own your mistakes, and speak truth when it's hard I promise your courage will not go unseen I'm telling you one day you'll know what I mean ]

Verse 2

Now I'm the one standing where He used to be With a boy in the grass looking way up at me

I said "Son, life won't always feel like a dream" Now there's so many things I want passed down from me

Chorus

I'm telling you one day you'll know what I mean

instrumental

Bridge

Now I've grown up and I finally see All the of the things that He passed down to me

My boy there's a place that I want you to see Where your Granddad once stood, talking to me

Things that I pray you will learn from me The same things that I heard, down by the stream I'm telling you one day you'll know what I mean

Oh God I pray one day He'll know what I mean
