OPEN MIC

Well after some absence on the blog, the next mini adventure is an open mic at Page 2 pub down in Nunhead... gulp! It's not like it's a gig or anything but it still involves singing in front of strangers! The butterflies in the stomach are fast turning into elephants!! Here are the lyrics of the two self-penned songs i'm singing. Thanks to Aaron for making the songs sound good on the guitar- some rhythm was missing before... and thanks to my mates from All Saints who will be there, if i get a slot!

Star Somebody

In a world of nobodies and everybodies, there is always a wish to be that somebody please..

Won't you be, that somebody to me?

We're running from the darkness that we can't understand,

chasing the sunlight

the brightness at hand.

Won't you be, that shining somebody?

One star in a million

but it takes all of them to marvel at the midnight sky.

One star in a million but it takes all of them to marvel at the midnight sky.

Maybe in this world, you're somebody special,

maybe in this world, you matter to me

won't you be, that star to me?

A shooting star just waiting to blaze across my life

aiming to touch, my everyday

won't you be-that shooting star to me?

One star in a million but it takes all of them

to marvel at the midnight sky,

I tell you , one star in a million but it takes all of them to marvel at the midnight sky.

One in a milion you are to me.

SECOND CHANCES

Like a first new bud, coming through,

a naked skeleton clothed anew.

Like a first flower petal, comes into bloom

new life, lights up my gloom

dododododo....

Waking up from a deep,deep slumber,

time to make your dreams come true,

forget the seasons past those days won't return,

here's your chance to start anew.

dododo....

Celebrate those second chances,

they come back every year,

here's a season to remind us

life conquers all your fears

his life conquers all your fears.

So when you think that it's all over,

life can't seem to break through

He arrives, so come on closer

a new chance springs out for you.

dododo...

Remember the season will go

night time fades into a daylight glow

an empty space is filled again,

a second chance around the bend, the bend, the bend.

dodododo...

Celebrate those second chances,

they come back every year

here's a season to remind us

his life conquers all your fears

his love conquers all your fears.

dododo.... !
