An Honest Self-Portrait

Jeff Gordon

August 23 - Sunday skirmish - prompt: “Self-Portrait” - had the song in an hour, took 20 extra minutes to finish the demo, guitar recorded a bit hot, but no time to fix.

VERSE:
It can be hard at times
To be a human being
Many hills to climb
With journeys abruptly ended

Learning to cede control
Allow each one their own path
Anger will take its toll
So we must learn forgiveness

CHORUS:
Make an Honest Self-Portrait of yourself
Take stock of the the good and the bad
And then work to live better
To be the best you can
And leave any regrets up on the shelf

VERSE:
Then when we reach the end
We look back at the hard work
Were we an honest friend
When the road turned slightly bumpy

We can move on in peace
Knowing life wasn’t easy
Hoping we helped increase
Humanity’s big bubble

CHORUS:
Make an Honest Self-Portrait of yourself
Take stock of the the good and the bad
And then work to live better
To be the best you can
And leave any regrets up on the shelf
