I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...

dare to dream - finished

I wrote three verses:

 

she has her head in the clouds
romantic dreams fill her mind
you may find her singing aloud
she's of the far-away kind

she does not care for career
she offers her love without guile
when she leaves her celestial sphere
she grants you her open smile

she seems to live out of this world
inhabited by you and me
but you can tell that this girl
lives her life quite happily

 

It's always risky to swap the person within lyrics. Here, the verses are in the third person, whereas the chorus adresses the second: "dare to dream, your dreams belong to you...". I actually mean 'you' in the general way, like 'one'. Or you could say that I address the listener, not a person playing a role within the text. Nonetheless, such subtleties might get lost when people only listen to a song. They might find it irritating that I first talk about 'her' to switch to 'you' in the chorus. Hence, it might happen that my lyrics will have to be re-written. No big deal with regard to the first two verses, actually:

 

you have your head in the clouds
romantic dreams fill your mind
one can find you singing aloud
you're of the far-away kind

 

you do not care for career
you offer your love without guile
when you leave your celestial sphere
you grant me your open smile

 

Rewriting the third verse might prove slightly more cumbersome, maybe:

 

you seem to live out of this world
inhabited by guys like me
but I could assert that my girl
lives her life quite happily
