Together We’ll Rise

I have been writing some lyrics in my time away. At the moment it’s a sort of poem, but in time I hope to turn it into a song.

Someone here inspired me to write this. She knows about it and in fact came up with the title and suggested I post it here, so thank you young lady. :folded_hands:

Verse 1:
In your night of darkness, I will be there
In your day of tears, my shoulder to share
It may be long, it may be brief
It can only help us through the grief

Chorus:
When the storm is raging, I’ll stand by your side
Through the waves that crash, and the tears you can’t hide
We’ll find our way, even when it’s tough
Together we’ll rise, when the world feels rough

Verse 2:
When the silence whispers and you feel alone
I’ll be your voice, bringing you home
The road may twist, and shadows may fall
But you don’t have to carry it all

Chorus:
When the storm is raging, I’ll stand by your side
Through the waves that crash, and the tears you can’t hide
We’ll find our way, even when it’s tough
Together we’ll rise, when the world feels rough

Bridge:
And if the night feels endless, like no light’s shining through
Know that in this heart, I’ll always be with you
Every tear you cry, every dream you chase
You’re never alone in this sacred space

Chorus:
When the storm is raging, I’ll stand by your side
Through the waves that crash, and the tears you can’t hide
We’ll find our way, even when it’s tough
Together we’ll rise, when the world feels rough

Outro:
So when the dawn comes, and the shadows retreat
You’ll find me beside you, strong and complete
In your night of darkness, I’ll always be there
Together, we’ll heal, together we’ll care.

Thanks

You take care as well as

That’s beautiful, I have written a few songs. I write the lyrics then use an AI program for the music, I will post a link here to my latest soon. I lost my wife 5 years ago, an ordinary day that turned out to be the worst ever, it helps getting the words out of my head. Thank you for sharing.

Verse 1]
I came in quiet, didn’t want to wake you
Evening light was falling through the blinds
Your hand was cold, iit didn’t reach for mine
I whispered your name like a prayer in my mind

[Chorus]
I thought you were sleeping, just lost in a dream
Never knew the silence could cut so deep
you had slipped away from me
When I thought you were sleeping… you were already free

[Verse 2]
Your coffee cup still waiting in the kitchen
Your sweater lying where you left it last night
The radio played our song without knowing
That you’d never dance with me in that light

[Chorus]
I thought you were sleeping, just lost in a dream
Never knew the silence could cut so deep
One last breath, and you slipped away from me
When I thought you were sleeping… you were already free

[Bridge] (soft and stripped back)
If I’d known that moment was the end
I’d have held you close, told you once again
You were my home, my forever, my truth
And I’d have given the world just to stay there with you

[Final Chorus] (emotional lift)
I thought you were sleeping, but you’d already gone
Now I’m just here to keep singing our song
One last touch, one last memory to keep
When I thought you were sleeping…
I was the one left to weep

[Outro] (long fade).

That’s lovely Chas.

I wrote a poem to be read out at my wife’s internment of her ashes in the church where we first got romantically involved and eventually married.

@Tammy25 used AI to turn into a song. When I move back to Wales, I intend recording it with either me or our band singer.

Amazing what AI can do

Put the poem together with a sunset pic taken by the same young lady.

Spent most of the day coming up with a slow Blues in a minor key of this song. The vocals are beyond my meagre capability, so used AI to produce a demo.

So whilst the lyrics are mine, the instrumentation and vocals were done by AI. Funny enough the guitar sounds like me. Our singer even thought it was me.
