Liner Notes

I had the pleasure of turning @cindyrella 's great poem into a song.
I like basic melodies and strumming patterns. This is one is in E major 4/4.
It kind of surpised me what it became but I think it's pretty much how I wanted it to sound. Too late for the chorus only challenge, I guess...

Lyrics

Dust
(c) 2024 Cindy Prince

We are dust
Even as we take our first breath
The cup is broken
Even as we sip our tea
We are fragile
We are mighty
We cower
Yet we roar
We hold tightly
Even as the strands disappear
We stand firmly
Even as the earth quakes
We are heavy
We are flying
We fall
Yet find our way
We are dust
Even as we take our first breath
The cup is broken
Even as we sip our tea

-- My modified version
We are dust
Even as we take our first breath
The cup is broken
Even as we sip our morning tea

We are fragile
We are mighty
We cower
Yet we roar
We hold tightly
Even as the strands disappear
as the strands disappear

We stand firmly
Even as the earth quakes inside
We are heavy
We are flying
We fall
Yet find our way
We fall yet find our way

We are dust
Even as we take our first breath
The cup is broken
Even as we sip our tea
