I would like to remove this post - could someopne do this for me or tell me how to do it?

Or could someone report me?  I tried to report myself and it didn't work!

Thank you.

As for "ly-di-di-da-da" (or so) - the lyrics are fine as they are (remember Adiemus?).

As for "silentium" the girls might have to wait 20 years before singing it ;-)

I'm writing lyrics to match other people's music all the time. Yet I've never done choirs. And I would need help with the subjects and messages (the outlines of the songs) since I'm male and 62 years old. I tried writing for very young guys once to come up with songs for elderly people (similar to "silentium")...

Anyway,
I wish you luck!

There are people that are not even interested in their own posts...

Anyway, here is "cycles". I scrapped the 'girls choir approach' in the bridge (would have to be rewritten if the old idea pops up again). And I added the complete structure of verse and chorus (refrain) again at the end to round it off.

VERSE
the rain feeds the rivers
the rivers feed oceans
oceans feed clouds that again feed the rain
though all plants will wither
in droughts or in winter
once that the rain falls they come back again

CHORUS
each cycle completed
can fill you with wonder
a world of pure beauty, magic, and joy

VERSE'
though all plants will wither
in droughts or in winter
once that the rain falls they come back again

VERSE
the nights chase the days as
the days chase the darkness
the east falls asleep as the west comes to life
come springtime, come summer
come autumn, come winter
as each circle closes it's finding new drive

CHORUS
each cycle completed
can fill you with wonder
a world of pure beauty, magic, and joy

VERSE'
come springtime, come summer
come autumn, come winter
as each circle closes it's finding new drive

BRIDGE
Oh, I wonder
if we are living a dream
Oh yeah
yes, I wonder
if we are living a dream

rest in my arms, try to open your mind
when you use all your senses you'll see what I mean
Oho, open your eyes, ears, and your sense of touch
forget stresses and strains so you can come clean

rest in my arms, try to open your heart
when you use all your feelings you'll see what I mean
Oho, open your love, open your sympathy
forget stresses and strains so you can come clean

VERSE
continents float because
seafloors are spreading
to be devoured where their masses converge
violent explosions
of mighty volcanoes
bring back ash and rocks recreating the earth

CHORUS
each cycle completed
can fill you with wonder
a world of pure beauty, magic, and joy

VERSE'
violent explosions
of mighty volcanoes
bring back ash and rocks recreating the earth

" think of the past and
when we used to talk just
the sound of your voice was familiar and warm
...
We haven’t spoken for many a year
...
The years I should know you are wasted and gone
..."

"many a year" cannot have been THAT many if you're, say, 15 years old. My text is a 100% fit until the end of the bridge. Then I omitted two lines and added a complete 'block' (that I titled 'verse' and 'chorus'). But never mind, as for the bridge I disregarded the concept of a girls' choir ("rest in my arms...").

Good luck with your project(s).
