Day After Day

Music is art right? I would say so. Music has the ability to paint a picture in the mind of the listener similar to that of an artwork and even bring out the same emotions that a beautiful piece of art by Manet might be able to (recently I was so taken by Manet's art that I was yelled at by a crazy Russian woman for getting too close to one of his paintings). Anyways... the following is a song that I just spent the last two hours working on instead of doing homework like a good student would do. My dad was telling me earlier about how Nancy Pelosi likes to fly around in a 200 person private jet instead of flying like us normal people do. Whether that is actually true or it is just my dad's extreme conservative mindset at play, it definitely got me thinking. I thought I'd write a song about American wealth/greed/selfishness/etc.... So... here it is.

Day After Day

How can we live in so much vain?
Stumble over these losses, treasures taken away
Living only for material things
Taking all that we can, leave the rest to wait and pray

Cause the land of the blessed has become the land of myself
Tied up in our possessions, looking only for the help
Of false love that lies within and tears at the health
Of you, me, she, he, and everyone else
Oh you tell me you care and you tell me you’ll help
But we only wait for the love of somebody else
Don’t sell yourself for gold cause it all will just pass
Be happy from what you gain and don’t ever look back
Cause what we take from the earth in the end will just fade
But what we give back to others will live on day after day

So how will this world move on?
When one by one selfish love grows strong
And now that we’ve come this far
Even the best of the best are just holdin’ on
Its not this world, its this way that we live
But it seems the more that we try the worse that it gets
So we wait
For real love to be reborn

Take all that you have and embed it in glass
Find false comfort in hiding and let the guilt run right past
But we can all see its there, so what will you say
That you’re saving up your grace to share another day
Well what reward does that give you? Lonely is all that you’ll be
It’ll kick in like a bullet no matter how hard you don’t want to believe
Well maybe if we could switch lives for a day
Then we’d really find out what we want our lives to say
Well I’ll be sorry if I’m wrong, but we all want the same
For our love to shine bright and live on day after day

Chorus

Well for the love of God, lets find His love
Send out to the world what we took from above
Tell them were sorry for the wait, loves train was on delay
But now that she has made it, she’ll live on day after day
Repeat x1

End on Chorus
