song in 5/4

[watupgangsta]

not a poem.. this is a song, that im not sure is complete, its in 5/4. i wrote it for a friend of mine who plays drums and has struggled with heroin and coke in the past. let me know what you guys honestly think of it.

 

I’ve seen the road you’re taking lately, man I’m proud

Ain’t no shame in knowing what you’re about

Don’t let it hold you down any more

We know the direction it steered you in before

Easy when it’s easy, won’t always be easy man

But when you feel all alone and weak, I know you can

Rise above and reach for so much, you can take it all

And I’ll be there to push you back up if you fall

 

Never forget the reasons

You fought hard for your freedom

 

You and I we see the road back to from where you came

We don’t need no easy way to bring back all the pain

We don’t need no crystal ball showing us how

Ain’t really so hard to see man that it’s better now

Temptation can kill, if you’re hand's in the cookie jar

It’s a fast track to the way back, you’ve come this far

Hundred thousand smiles to wait for, you could wipe away

Won't you share them with a friend cuz I’m here to stay
