SAYS20 Competition 13-18 year old category

This is the Song Academy song! Written by the Song Academy Team.  We want all young people to 'Sing It Out!' 

Founded 13 years ago, Song Academy was built for young creators aged 8-18. Our mission is to help every child, from all backgrounds, find their voice and find their tribe, through writing their own original songs at a formative time of their life. Our unique focus on the craft of songwriting, creating lyrics and music, enables young people to express themselves powerfully and be heard. Song Academy nurtures the next generation of creative leaders (young writers, artists, musicians, producers & creative thinkers) who will be shaping the future. We run songwriting clubs, holiday workshops, song feedback reports, birthday parties, bespoke songwriting sessions and The Young Songwriter competition.

What difference is Song Academy making? Song Academy is a force for good, nurturing the next generation of creative leaders. Inspiring young people to express themselves and share their songs is having a positive impact on their well-being, self-belief, self-esteem, confidence, creativity, social skills and motivation to achieve their full potential.

LYRICS
I see your face 
In their golden embrace
But reality is bleak 
So I dare not speak
I just give you space.

My heart is burning 
But you’re not earning 
My trust, my trust , my trust.
Will the world keep turning 
If we keep spurning 
This love , this love , this love?

Her face is bliss 
Beneath his kiss
But mine twists and sours 
Thinking this love of ours
Can never exist.

My heart is burning 
But you’re not earning 
My trust, my trust , my trust.
Will the world keep turning 
If we keep spurning 
This love , this love , this love?

Their cosmos is gold
But ours is cold
So counting the cost 
Our love must stay lost
Never to have nor to hold.

My heart is burning 
But you’re not earning 
My trust, my trust , my trust.
Will the world keep turning 
If we keep spurning 
This love , this love , this love?

My heart is burning 
But you’re not earning 
My trust, my trust , my trust.
Will the world keep turning 
If we keep spurning 
This love , this love , this love
This love , this love , this love.

The Kiss - Original - Live recording.
