This a draft with me singing. I will not be the final artist.
The music produced with ProTools doesn't sit well with me.
My goals are:
to get this to have more of rap in the bridge. I have to add more lines for that and I have a draft of additional lyrics
Also I love how your songs have an uplifting message. You've inspired me to change or add a verse with a moral to the story or a message for future generations to overcome this type of scenario. 
So I'm looking for a cowrite.
Let me know your thoughts...
thanx

The #Songstuff.com challenge to write a song for a specific artist/band. I chose The Eagles. Here is "Moonrise Highway"

Moonrise Highway

This is the song I sang at my brother's funeral in 2014. I want music for it so I made some up and it's too synthesized but will have to do for now. As I have no recording space my voice sounds like it's in a tunnel...Miss you Michael

Be There In Heaven by Lisa M. Guzda 1/13/2014
(For my brother Michael 7/23/1970 - 1/20/14)

It's just a little rain 
What I need to ease the pain 
Cause I have a broken heart
You're in heaven, time to start

Letting you go
Letting me know
You're safe in HIS arms
Flyin high in the stars
Do you see heaven
Do you feel heaven
Be there in heaven

I haven't said goodbye 
Seems I've run out of time
Too slow I missed my chances
Go on to the Lord's mansion

No matter I was not with you, we've been apart so long
Like a twin who feels your heart beat, you have been my song
all along

Letting you go
Letting me know
You're safe in HIS arms
Flyin high in the stars
Do you see heaven
Do you feel heaven
Be there in heaven
Be there
Be there
Just be there in heaven

Lyrics by Lisa Gates, Music by Paul deMarco
This is a rough draft. I have added more lyrics for Verse two that will be on the next draft. 
 
Truth be told, I was wrong
I didn’t tell you no
I didn’t turn and go

You lived life with no cares
Drinking away your pain
Mem’ries of you remain

How you left me all alone
With haunted eyes from your lingering lies

Like the soft Tennessee wind
That whispered your name
Now that you’re gone
I’m moving on
On the soft Tennessee wind

Short instrumental break

Remember, when you laughed 
I knew something was wrong 
It's so clear now you're gone

Lonely path, without you
Following my big dreams
Mending my broken seams

Of how you left me all alone
With haunted eyes from your lingering lies

Like the soft Tennessee wind
That whispered your name
Now that you’re gone
I’m moving on
On the soft Tennessee wind

Never could see through all the love I had for you
Blinded by the lies you told yourself
So I’ll let this country air clear my mind
And put the past behind 

‘cause it’s the soft Tennessee wind
Calling your name again
But I know you’re gone
So I’m moving on
On that soft Tennessee Wind

Playing in the snow by Taylor Sappe and Lisa Gates

Revised 12/7/17

Mom woke up the TV blasting
Look what the weatherman's forecasting
Snow! snow! snoooow!

Put on your boots, coat, and hat
Lets find where the biggest hill is at
Slide! slide! sliiiide!

Playin in the snow
Till we freeze our toes
Watchin' the snowflakes blow
Playin' in the snow
Playin' in the snow
Till it's time to go
Watchin' the snowflakes blow
Playin' in the snow

I'll meet you for school break
Get ready to fly on the frozen lake
Skate! skate! skate!

It's only cold when the wind blows
Lets fall down and make angels in the snow
Snow! snow! snooooow!

Chorus

It’s time to come inside
Let the fireplace warm our cocoa
Close our eyes just a little bit
And then we can get back to

Chorus

Playin in the snow (snow snow ho ho ho)
Till we freeze our toes (don’t you freeze your toes)
Watchin' the snowflakes blow
Playin' in the snow
Playin' in the snow (snow snow ho ho ho)
Till it's time to go (Oh please don’t say it’s so)
Watchin' the snowflakes blow
Playin' in the snow

This is our Time (Lyrics by James Anderson and Lisa Gates (Guzda) Melody by Lisa Gates (Guzda) Music by Simon Darveau)

I know it’s not easy
I know I’m too proud
To say I love you
To say it out loud

I’m willing to try
I’m willing to fly
To the moon and back
Into the pitch black

This is our time, listen to me
Don’t make a sound, we can be free
This is our time, hold on to me
Baby here in your arms, safe as can be
This is our time

I won’t wait too long
I won’t make it hard
Wanting to see you
I’ve traveled so far

I need to see you
I need to feel you
In my arms at last
This time it won’t pass

This is our time, listen to me
Don’t make a sound, we can be free
This is our time, hold on to me
Baby here in your arms, safe as can be
This is our time

Fate has brought us back together
Now we know that we belong
I never once forgot your charms
Look at me, hold out your arms

I know it’s not easy, 
I know I’m too proud
