It started off as a dream
Of riches and fame
The world in my reach
The game of all games
But it grew to be more
The highest of highs
Soaring like eagles
Miles in the sky

All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
It’s all in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll

It was a fantasy
That could not be lived
Ah, beautiful women
Money to give
But it grew to be more
Now rock is my game
Baby I’ll share with you
My riches and fame, yeah

It’s all in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll

Gave my heart, I gave my soul
I lost my ears to rock ‘n’ roll
I gave my youth, I gave my life
I lost my wife to rock ‘n’ roll, yeah

All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
It’s all in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll

Oh God is it a dream?
Am I insane?
A song in my heart
I feel no pain
But it’s more than a dream
The furthest of far
Burning like fire, yeah
Glowing like stars

All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
It’s all in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll

It might have started as a dream
Of glory and hope
Sell out live concerts
And parties and dope
But it grew to be more
The freest of free
With its power and riches, yeah
Rock ‘n’ roll made me

All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
It’s all in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
It’s all in the name of rock ‘n’ roll

It’s all in the name of 
It’s all in the name of 
It’s all in the name of 
Rock ‘n’ roll, yeah

Dear friends, I am sometimes not able to write comments here - Sorry!
Hi - this is my new Repost page. You can find my own songs: Bengt Erik Roth User 188944807.

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories - and I've been doing that since. At the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past two years, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on Kompoz. I release many of these songs here and compile the best into albums released under Captain Stormfield's Trip on Spotify and other platforms (see links below).
