Skirmish: Imagine the future (@lyricslinger)

Liner Notes

#acousticrock
I wrote the whole song during the skirmish, but memorization took longer.
I am in one of those time loops today, so I couldn’t seem to reach as far into the future as the skirmish prompt surely envisioned.

Lyrics

Imagine a future
When you’re standing by my side
Imagine a future
Then remember your power to decide

I am singing to you from between timelines
Can’t seem to get my feet on solid ground
I know everything is changing all the time
But today feels like the lost and found

I remember I have been between worlds before
It’s a moment to reach for something new
Peace out of war
Rich out of poor
And then a place for me and you

Imagine a future
When you’re standing by my side
Imagine a future
Then remember your power to decide

I’ve been left here to roam and wander
Between the material world and the world of dreams
I’ll stay here as long as it takes to remember
That nothing is as real as it seems

I remember I have been between worlds before
It’s a moment to reach for something new
Peace out of war
Rich out of poor
And then a place for me and you

Imagine a future
When you’re standing by my side
Imagine a future
Then remember your power to decide

Imagine a future
When you’re standing by my side
Imagine a future
Then remember your power to decide

The future is the future. I don't think you missed the mark of the prompt at all. I like the sentiment. Really like the line about being between two worlds. Also the part about staying as long as it takes. Yeah, that's the stuff.

Great lyrics! Feels like it could be an epic rock song. I particularly like these lines 'I am singing to you from between timelines
Can’t seem to get my feet on solid ground'
Hope you get the chance to record it
