Come On Over to the "SOLID" Side
[***SEEKING CO-WRITER FOR MUSIC***]
If this post is in-appropriate, will the moderator please delete it. The forum says: ANY songwriter related notes, etc., but others seem to think this does not belong here. You decide and advise me. - Thanks
(Slow “Randy Travis” style country song)
[V1] I hope this letter finds it’s way to you To the little brother who thought I had died In its contents you will discover Feelings that may cut like a knife Every since dad went and left us We’ve been running wild and trying to hide But this prison has taught me to question This rusted-out junk called: "my life"
Chorus:
And I couldn’t fit all the pieces together Of my shattered, - "case-hardened" heart Then I dreamed of a "blacksmith" last night As I watched over his shoulder He was arc-welding the "seams" of my life When He turned I saw it was, - "Jesus" When I looked in His eyes, - I couldn't hide And He said, - “Come on over to the “SOLID” side”
[V2] I know that you’ve had your share of troubles And if they knew about all of our crimes We ‘d both get fried, - or at least sentenced to life And you’ve been trying to deny, - every since mom died That big ball of pain that’s been locked up inside But in "drinking and drugs," and "hanging" with "thugs" You won’t find what you need,- till you fall on your knees Then you’ll find that He's kind, - and there's peace for your mind...
Bridge:
And I know you’ve been lied to, - but if you’ll only try to …Come on over to the "SOLID" side
Chorus:
‘Cause I couldn’t fit all the pieces together Of my shattered, - "case-hardened" heart ‘Til I met a man with the answers And He gave me a brand new start In my cold cell I was kneeling With my hard heart, - finally yielding When I looked in His eyes, - I couldn't hide And He said, - “Come on over to the “SOLID” side”
[V3] The last time I saw you was ten years ago And though you loved her, your feelings did not show When you looked in her casket, all I saw in your eyes Was contempt for the way she’d lived her life But little brother, - there is "another" Who won’t hurt you and he'll help you recover His name is 'Jesus," and He only "sees" us As "children" who’ve been, - left on their own...
Bridge:
And I know you’ve been lied to, - but if you’ll only try to …Come on over to the “SOLID” side
Chorus:
And I couldn’t fit all the pieces together Of our shattered, "case-hardened" hearts ‘Til I met a man who with the answers And He gave me a brand new start Now I’m free from that cell And I want to find you and tell you I've got nothing to "sell" you But you need to, - “Come on over to the "SOLID" side”
Listen my brother, and - come on over to the “SOLID” side!
...There's no place like the "SOLID" side!

There are two lyric forums for posting lyrics. This one is for songwriter discussion topics.
Marty my home Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again!

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Marty Helly: There are two lyric forums for posting lyrics. This one is for songwriter discussion topics.</font> I understand. I'm seeking a co-writer for the music composition. I forgot to add that detail when posting, but it's there now. Thanks, Stan

You should still post this lyric in one of the two lyric sections... even if you are looking for a collaborator.
