about

This weeks' assignment:
"Choose any song that has previously been submitted to MM3AM by any songwriter other than yourself, and to write a second draft. Ideally, you will find a song that you feel has great promise but never really got where it needed to be. Your job is to get it there. Please choose something that lets you dig in and do a little actual work - don't just grab a tune and change a couple of words!"

I took a song Les Slate (www.mediocrebadguys.com) had started and turned it into this.

lyrics

Come, all ye faithful
Bring your cares to me
I won't forsake you
I'll only bring you peace
Bring your cares to me
I won't forsake you
You can count on me

Even when the skies are turning grey
Even when you've lost your way to me
I won't let you down
I won't let you fall
I won't let you be the only one without a prayer

Come, tired & lonely
Bring your heart to me
I won't forsake you
Even when you don't believe
Bring your heart to me
I'll never leave you
Even when you don't believe

Even when the skies are turning grey
Even when you've lost your way to me
I won't let you down
I won't let you fall
I won't let you be the only one

Does it seem like starting again is something that you could do
Do you think that finding a friend could turn you to someone new

So come, sit beside me
Put your hand in mine
You're so much like me
I think that you will find

That I won't let you down
I won't let you fall
I won't let you be the only one
I will build you up
'Til you're standing tall
I won't let you be the only one without a prayer
