N'importe Quoi

  For school this week (and the next) we're having an elective session. Basically you take two classes (each three hours long) with lunch in between and then go home. I ended up taking Song-writing and Lifeskills. Both are relatively pleasant, and I've been enjoying song-writing. Who wouldn't enjoy sitting around for three hours messing with pianos, writing lyrics, and chatting with friends? Not to mention that as long as you eventually write a song it counts for school credit. I already finished my first song. It's no jewel, but maybe my readers would enjoy reading the lyrics?

"Anything"

 I'll keep my eyes open

And deny my fear

the satisfaction of knowing

that the end is near

fighting hard for tomorrow

though what I hold dear

and my resistance to sorrow

is sure to disappear

Chorus: So I'll just tie my scarf a little tighter

and my adversaries will know fear

history proves I was born a fighter

and I'll do anything to have you near

shortcomings can be overcome

and courage can prevail

yet though the battle is not won

all signs say I will fail

I've got my sword and shield

I'm ready for the day

I'm not about to yield

where there's a will there's a way

Chorus

to all who oppose, you'll see

my "white flag" is hard to find

all thoughts of letting you go free

have completely fled my mind

and when the smoke clears

reflected off of broken mirrors

is the promise of tomorrow

a day that's mine to grow

Chorus
