I’ve been writing songs before

I’ve been writing songs before

I don’t do it anymore

Music used to give me joy

Now it’s just another chore

They ask me how my next one goes

I answer that my books are closed

I’ve been writing songs before

I don’t do it anymore

Oh, oh, oh

Yet here I am in front of you

I have written down a thing or two

Was always told I have to use

My music for the sake of truth

And is that just a job to do?

Or a gift I give that does me good?

I’ve been writing songs before

Maybe I could try once more

Oh, oh

Maybe I could try once more

So what is on my heart today?

What is there for me to say?

I have nothing only grace

That’s a thing I could convey

That we dont need to try so hard

Empty-handed, open hearts

I’ve been writing songs before

Maybe I could try once more

Letting go

Wasn’t wrong

Now I’m here

And this is my song
