Hello!
These are some lyrics to a new song I wrote. The song is about dementia/alzheimer. The lyrics are written from two different point of views, grandson and grandfather. Please share some feedback, so I can learn to better express myself with my words. THANK YOU!
Grandson:
Your mind's a dark, lonely place
The light in your eyes is growing faint
Oh it's growing faint
My name, you no longer know
Just a flicker of remembrance now and then shows
That you still the same
So help me understand
How can you be right next to me
And at the same time a world away
How can you be ...
How can you be ...
How can you be ...
How can it be?
Grandfather:
Let me live and remember the sun
or let me drown in the after-glow
Let me live and remember the sun
or let me drown in the after-glow
Grandson:
There is a place in your ribcage
A palace buried in your chest
We can hide there (We can hide there)
Stay forever like that
My hand holding on to your thumb
Like it did back then
I can always (I can always)
I can always find you there
Grandfather:
You will always find me there
Let me live, Let me remember the sun
or let me drown in the after-glow
Let me live, Let me remember the sun
or let me drown in the after-glow
