Steemit Open Mic Week 76 - Original song "Eternity"

This is my entry for Steemit Open Mic Week 76.

I wrote this song tonight after various discussions on @MSP-Waves Radio / P.A.L Discord chat this morning (Aus time) got my head loaded with thoughts and ideas.

As a newcomer to Steem and Discord, I'm constantly in a state of what I can only call "blown-away-ed-ness", though after listening to Steemit Musicians and Minnow Town Hall today I was more determined than I've been in weeks to pick up my guitar and make some room in my head.

@nathankaye and @aggroed planted a seed that quickly started to germinate and it took over my idle thoughts for the remainder of the day.

We are all connected. We see a physical plane, yet we walk on energy and light. Trust in and be true to yourself and you can achieve anything.

While this song isn't honed to my usual self-imposed standard, to be honest it's more what I'd usually call an idea, I felt that I needed to share it today. It's a warts and all performance but life has ups, downs, bumps and scrapes.

Lyrics:

There’s a man who once prayed for me
He gave rise to my prosperity
Shifting sands thought they could drag me down
Played for foolish, they now see my crown

The secret keeps me strong
I’m right where I belong
The secret keeps me safe

I don’t leave it up to chance
Because one chance is all you get
I don’t search for the key
Because the key is to believe it’s real

Daily habits keep my vision true
No need to ask, it belongs to you
See the numbers, keeping me on course
Drawing down from vital source

The secret keeps me strong
I’m right where I belong
The secret keeps me safe

I don’t leave it up to chance
Because one chance is all you get
I don’t search for the key
Because the key is to believe it’s real

It’s better when spoken
I’m taking control of this whole big mess
And when I’m broken
You know where you can find me
