a glimpse of sharon world...

so wrote a song at about 3:30 this afternoon. i dunno why. i just had the urge to. some people write, but for me my most effective outlet is music. i dunno, there's just something about letting my emotions out on piano keys that really gets to me. i get lost sometimes - i get so into it, that everything becomes nothing but a blur. anyway, these are the lyrics i came up with. nothing too grand. nothing too sophisticated. just my simple thoughts. :) i sang it for my mommy (she's the only one i've sung it to...and possibly the only one i will be singing it to..haha.) and in the middle i almost started to cry. music is so personal to me. especially a song or composition that i've written. it's like a piece of me that i let everyone in on. when i played my composition, "A World of My Own" with the North York Symphony in the George Weston Hall (at the Ford Centre for the Performing Arts) i played my heart out. literally. i cried that day on stage after i had taken my bow because i gave it my all, and the response was overwhelming. as i looked out into the audience many people were crying, my family was crying, people were applauding and all of them were on their feet. that was really something. an experience i'll never forget. i can still picture everything so clearly - like it happened yesterday. i cried because i really didn't know how else to respond. that's the thing with music and me. it makes me feel so vulnerable. maybe that's why i love music so much...oops, sorry i digress - there was a point to me reliving that memory just now. oh yes, so these are the lyrics. my lyrics. this was my heart at 3 30 this afternoon.

*oh btw. there's no title. and the words may not make complete sense where they're placed...that's because without the music, a piece is missing. :P*

i feel so confused,
i can't comprehend anything
how did things turn out like this?
i tried so hard
but Lord i know there's more
that You're trying to teach me, through it all

Lord I know You're there
feeling my pain, letting me see that
You are my best friend
You cry with me, hurt with me
Lord You understand
me more than anyone else can
I need You Lord

help me to let go
it's been so long, i don't know how
help me to move on
but show Your grace, and your love
i need Your strength
so You can lead me on, and show me the way

Lord I know You're here,
Feeling my pain, letting me see that
You are my best friend
You cry with me, hurt with me
Lord You understand
me more than anyone else can
I love You Lord.
