Made for the songwriting course @coursera. Bad singing, but I think the rhythm fits right.


Prayer for a better world

Brief description:

Lyrics:
The best of me

There are a lot of teachers
That some people call my friends
I call them all "my brothers"
And together, we transcend 

They gave me all their wisdom
As a free, stringless offer
They tought me about an anthem
That we sang for one another:

Chorus:
Every day I'll do my best
Open-hearted, for my friends
Make my life an awesome quest
Open-hearted, for my friends

Some friends of mine are younger
I am helping them to grow
I wish they can go further
So I teach them all I know

Will it ever be enough?
This is my biggest concern
Is it all I have to teach?
All I can, for all of them?

Chorus:
Every day I'll do my best
Open-hearted, for my friends
Make my life an awesome quest
Open-hearted, for my friends

So I composed this anthem
I hope you'll sing it too
The best that I could offer
'cause the best of me are you.

Chorus:
Every day I'll do my best
Open-hearted, for my friends
Make my life an awesome quest
Open-hearted, for my friends

The best of me

The best of me

There are a lot of teachers
That some people call my friends

They tought me about an anthem
That we sang for one another:

Every day I'll do my best
Open-hearted, for my friends
Make my life an awesome quest
Open-hearted, for my friends
