This is Me

So I spent my Friday night with the "Chinese Tom Cruise."  Seriously that's what the AD called him.  While waiting between scenes, I pulled out my phone and wrote an upbeat song (for a change).  Kind of forced but the lyrics are pretty solid I think (see below).

This is Me

Here I am wishing again
Falling stars surround my head
Staring through a cloudy night
Future shining oh so bright

Hoping high waking up
Walking by, my head held up
Smiling wide for all to see
Optimist meets reality

(Pre-chorus)
Sometimes I sit in my bed
Wonder why and then again
Sometimes I'm just too damn tired to think

So, strike a match and watch the glow
Nothing left you need to know
Everything is alright
When lit by candle light
And worries seem to just disappear
Dissolve into the atmosphere
Sunsets of pink and gold
Clouds can look so beautiful

And there I go again
Holding on 'til the bitter end
Wouldn't have it another way
Makes me who I am today

And it's alright I don't need to know
A way to be acceptable
I'm fine with who I am
Not perfect but that's ok

(Pre-chorus)
So this is it, this is me
If I changed dunno who I'd be
Why is it so bad to stay the same?

So, strike a match and watch the glow
Nothing left you need to know
Everything is alright
When lit by candle light
And worries seem to just disappear
Dissolve into the atmosphere
Sunsets of pink and gold
Clouds can look so beautiful

(Outro - Spoken)
In the end all I have is me
and I know, I know, yeah I know
Yeah that's alright, that's alright
and that's alright yeah, yeah, yeah!

So, strike a match and watch the glow
Nothing left you need to know
Everything is alright
When lit by candle light
And worries seem to just disappear
Dissolve into the atmosphere
Sunsets of pink and gold
Clouds can look so beautiful
