The assignment this week is from AG:
"It’s a new year and should be a time of excitement and hope. Yet, there’s a lot to feel anxious about. Write a song, any style with a hopeful message to help spread positivity and love. Think “blowing in the wind” or “change is gonna come” although it it doesn’t have to be political at all”
lyrics
Hey, look at you
All bright & bright & shiny & new
Hey, look at you
All bright & bright & shiny & new again
I don't how I go this way
I don't how I go this way, but I think I like it
We wake up to a new day
We try to find a new way just to make it through
Figure out what we're missing
And do our best to listen, we want to know the truth
Hey, look at you
All bright & bright & shiny & new
Hey, look at you
All bright & bright & shiny & new again
I don't how I go this way
I don't how I go this way, but I think I like it
Before the clouds, they roll away
Until the crowds begin to fade, we'll always rise above
The days will slowly start to burn
Will we ever start to learn to offer up a touch
Hey, look at you
All bright & bright & shiny & new
Hey, look at you
All bright & bright & shiny & new again
I don't how I go this way
I don't how I go this way, but I think I like it
We wake up to a new day
We try to find a new way just to make it through
