Pen To Paper

(David Cornwall )

As the world turns its back on the written word in hard copy for their space in the cloud, I can at least take comfort that when the power goes out and hell freezes over, my family will have something tangible to read albeit under candle light.

V.1
I don’t shy from indiscretions, look away when the suns too hot
Wilt like two dollar candles, change colour over night for anyone
One life can make a difference, one life can make them proud
One life can shape their future, Share their dreams
record their ups and downs

V.2
Your love can’t carry forward can’t hold onto what’s not there
Written word pen to paper mirrored soul for all to share
I envy all the authors the fools who grace the stage
The simplest back yard poets the ones who mark their grades

Chorus
Don’t need to be a banker, don’t need to be best and fairest
Don’t need to be a Jackson, don’t need to climb Everest
Just put pen to paper the tears the joy and the pain
Right or wrong it don’t matter your dust now stains every page

Interlude

Bridge
Melting snow exposes fossils
Drying the land tumbling weeds roll away
Words by you will be remembered, through song the writers page
I envy all the authors the fools who grace the stage
The simplest back yard poets
The ones who, who mark their grades

Chorus
Don’t need to be a banker, don’t need to be best and fairest
Don’t need to be a Jackson, don’t need to climb Everest
Just put pen to paper the tears the joy and the pain
Right or wrong it don’t matter your dust now stains every page
