@Lauren_Alaina Your song "Doin Fine" was the soul inspiration for my song "Who Are We Today Anyway". Please take a look at my lyrics and see what you think. I am too scared to sing it because I dont know how to sing.
Title: Who Are We Today Anyway
By: Cyrus Tchamanzar
Album: Name Just Like Yours
Mom’s a drunk and Dad’s a slave
Yeah, who are we today anyway?
I’m tryin’, but I’m lyin’ if I told you I’ll never make it
Singin’ through the pain, livin’ in vain
Nothin’ but problems in life every day
I’ve tried and tried and never felt more pain
Strugglin’ just to stay alive, so I walk, talk, run real fast…
But every day I feel my life blowin’ away fast[Chorus]
’Cause who are we today anyway?
Who are we today anyway?[Verse 2]
Got an education, learned three languages or more
Economics all I knew, but we were still real poor
Mom and Dad from here and there — don’t wanna talk about it no more
Mom and Dad said “be gone today”… ten years gone twice as quick[Chorus]
’Cause who are we today anyway?
Who are we today anyway?[Verse 3]
Became a man and tried real hard, yeah…
Don’t wanna tell you, but they chased me with whores
Goin’ the wrong way in this maze of pain and doors
So I ran real fast right out that door
Hopped a flight and LA said, “Well, let’s elect your smart ass”[Chorus]
’Cause who are we today anyway?
Who are we today anyway?[Verse 4]
Fightin’ wars I ain’t sure I’m even in
Yet I’m singin’ the enemy’s sin
House of Israel taught me, but it still causes war
Can’t get a job, can’t prove I’m smart no more
My world has changed and it’s full of shame
Every day I’m sure of tomorrow or today
Then I lived my life without the fear of death…[Chorus]
’Cause who are we today anyway?
Who are we today anyway?[Verse 5]
If I don’t try then why would I live this life?
I’m super sure — if it’s life, it’s now
Don’t drink and drug through the fog with my wife
It’s Laura, and I’m real sure she’s got wings, but she never made that flight[Chorus]
’Cause who are we today anyway?
Who are we today anyway?[Verse 6]
Can’t make it past the bridge to another man’s life
So before I feel the fade before my Christ
Never thought her choices would kill me this quick
When you see me choke up, it’s from a team I missed
Might’ve lost a few, so I pray for them…
’Cause for me, this is it[Chorus]
’Cause who are we today anyway?
Who are we today anyway?[Verse 7]
Made a choice — it was real damn hard
Had a new life, a new way of livin’ every day
Yet I’m pushin’ real hard to stay His way
Fight the fear, pray for life, be unafraid
Pray out the fear and pray for strength
God bless my family and help them see
Make my kids real smart and better than me…[Chorus]
’Cause who are we today anyway?
Who are we today anyway?[Verse 8]
Connecticut, Kansas, Texas, Colorado, and Tennessee
Y’all still wanna know who the hell are we?
Family scattered here and there, but we still live real poor
Traveled the world and seen some way cool things
Hundred billion gone in a second — it wasn’t meant for me
Life’s a real challenge, but I’m still fightin’ through
No matter who you are, there’s someone who made you[Chorus]
’Cause who are we today anyway?
Who are we today anyway?[Verse 9 / Bridge]
Mom and Dad back in my life
Tryin’ to make them proud
Standin’ for my rights, wonderin’ if this is how
My life for yours ’cause that’s the deal we made
I’ll give ’em a crowd — wow, it won’t scare ’em today
It burns real bad and tears me down
When I see them kids cry, it kills me inside
Won’t wait for more ’cause that kills my pride
Time to fix broken hearts, communities, and more
’Cause it’s the USA — I’m real, real proud[Outro]
God blessed me with the life I’ve lived, loved, and led…
I don’t want you dead, just better now[Final Chorus / Tag]
’Cause…
Who are we today anyway?!
Who are we today anyway?!?!
