NOW you're talking, Cindyrella. This is a great aspiration, and is probably easier to accomplish than making money at it. To me, those are two different animals.

Hundreds of thousands of people are trying to make money at this and mostly falling on their faces. I wonder how many are trying to change the world for the better, even in a little way?

That sort of aim will work better for all concerned, one way or another. Maybe it's an educational song...maybe it's a benefit for someone with medical bills...maybe it's something for your favorite local business to use.

I say make an impact first, and maybe money will follow more easily. But if you chase dollars with lyrics, well, good luck...at least you wouldn't be alone.

I say do something special with lyrics. Approach the endeavor from a spirit of giving, rather than getting, and it will be greeted by the world with a whole different level of interest.
