write in the key of c, bpm 120, 4/4 time for me
is that way too easy? if i write so plainly
can't pretend that i know music theory
is it alright if i just use the same dang chords
over & over again?

& i wonder would it be better if i didn't care?
wonder why i worry so much that i have to adhere?
blunder, wouldn't it be better just to be myself?
blunder, already tried that and came out insecure as hell

i like songs that sound cutesy & cheesy & corny & everything
but when i write like that a voice screams it's not everyone's cup of tea
if i write cooler songs will people listen to them more willingly?

i think i'd prefer if my imperfect stabs at art
could exist free from its human counterpart

your art comes from a human heart
your art comes from a human soul
even if you stand apart
your art comes from human ego

art comes from the human heart
art comes from the human soul
even if you let it stand on its own
art comes from human ego

take it all away again
my fragile confidence
take it all away again
my insecurities
throw it in the ocean
into the deepest sea

though life is hard & you wanna do your best
keep your heart inside your chest
though you'll certainly make mistakes
& your self-esteem may fade
that's the part of you that makes you human
though you can't change the past
you can look to the future
each & every new day is a brand new opportunity

never give it up, keep it moving forward
though it may be hard sometimes
never give it up, keep it moving forward
you have gotta find your light
never give it up, keep it moving forward
make the most of your life
never give it up, keep it moving forward
we don't really have much time
