Hi!

My name is Alex, I'm a songwriter from Russia.
English is not my native language.

My music style is pop, indie-rock, ballads.

I have finished several recent songs and I want to know your opinion about them.
Are they worth working?
Are they Ok or maybe I need to involve somebody to modify them?

I’ll be very grateful to you if you read my lyrics and give me any recommendations (stylistics, rhyming, use of word, etc.)
 
Some phrases are good to me, some are in doubt. I paranthesized phrases that seem doubtful to me.

Sorry for poor arrangement of demo track. Vocal line is shown with a sax voice and is not very accurate. I recorded guitar for this track but it doesn't sound well.

Thank you!


Lyric is below.

PROPHET (DEMO)

(1)

(Searching for truth) is a good endeavor
But this proud flag is a heavy burden
You want to mix all the colors together
Oh you are such an innocent person

It’s so good to bring some light to this world
But public is waiting for bread and circuses
Each one is so (confident) and concerned
About his own selfish purposes


(Chorus)
Your flatulent words and stump speeches
But each one considers himself as a prophet
These people don’t need a teacher
So, is there a chance, just any droplet?


(2)
They wait for a hero, they wait for a chief
Pop stuff is what they are ready to pay for
(Unfortunately,) you don’t fit their beliefs
It seems you are not in their favor

You say you are fighting some faulty ideas
But you are the first one to be their servant
(Getting) your life split into pieces
(Ambiguous) and so imperfect

(Chorus)

(Instrumental)

(3)
But maybe you’ll find a good key to success
Then they will notice you, they will be watching
Certainly, they’ll say – Oh, who could guess?
They’ll say - Well, fools have fortune

(Chorus)
