Bernd's lyrics for Bernd (no title yet)

The guidelines are rather strict, and I couldn’t always heed them. Also, I’m not really content with the order of my lines in the first verse, neither with the chorus that at the moment seems to end rather weak. But first things first:

the verses consist of three parts, syllable counts should be: 5,2-3,5 / 5,2-3,5 / 5,3,4,5
the chorus also consists of three parts, syllable counts: 4,4,6 / 4,4,6 / 4,2-4,6,3 the first two lines should always begin with “keep on” (don’t ask me why).

After putting down a few lines I consulted RhymeZone  rather heavily:

sing - swing - bring - cling - ring - fling
dream - beam - scheme - gleam
smile - pile - file -
dance - romance
ground - found - sound - abound - around
clever - whatever - however - whoever


And this is what I've got so far:

Chorus:

keep on dancing
keep romancing
and let your dreams fly high

keep on beaming
keep on gleaming
like the stars in the sky

keep on swinging
keep on singing
like/be a star, don't be shy
don't be shy


Verse I:

you say you'll never
give in
you will stand your ground

there'll be forever
fun and joy
for everyone abound

life is a feast to
celebrate
humanity
and its own mystery


Verse II:

you say you've learned to
ignore
what the moaners say

and you'll get on with
looking
at things your own way

life is a feast to
celebrate
humanity
and its own mystery
