You're a Bright Star (piano/vocal demo)

Jeff Gordon

September 6 - Sunday skirmish, one hour to write a song from the prompt, which for today was “Bright Star.”

VERSE:
Refusal to engage
In the nonsense
That puts me in a rage
Sometimes

You remain above the fray
You may hear an insult
You let the ugly wash away
From your mind

PRE:
Don’t know how you do it
Or how you stay calm through it

CHORUS:
You’re a Bright Star
Showing the way
An example
A dazzling display
You don’t know it
But I know that you are
And I’m so grateful for it
Yes, you’re a very Bright Star

VERSE:
Revenge is not so sweet
So why
Do I enjoy that heat
Sometimes

The wheels just keep spinning
The nonsense
Erase the need for winning
From my mind

PRE:
Every time I see you
I wanna be just like youh

CHORUS:
You’re a Bright Star
Showing the way
An example
A dazzling display
You don’t know it
But I know that you are
And I’m so grateful for it
Yes, you’re a very Bright Star
