The assignment of the week was to write a song that would (musically) make my friend Jason feel like his team was winning. Not exactly "We Will Rock You," but I dig it.
lyrics
All the things that seem far away
Give your life up for nothin'
Gone tomorrow, here today
Let me tell you 'bout the things I see
Lend an ear for the payback
Hear you tell me what you wanna be
Lean in, lean in to love
Lean in, lean in to love
Mend the fence, then you scale the wall
Free your mind and then it's starting
Close your heart, you begin to fall
Give my regards to your hero du jour
Talk of the town for an hour
Turn your back on what came before
Lean in, lean in to love
Lean in, lean in to love
Your heart is beating faster
Don't know what comes after
Another small disaster
