@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?!?!
