There is something lovely about quiet time. It’s quite revelatory of our true hearts and intentions.
I find it rewarding to comfortably contemplate my core. My character.
Self-development is optimally beneficial for the advancement our existence, don’t you think?
Songwriting is my way of poetically expressing my considerations. Lyrics and vocal melodies flow directly from my head to my pen.
On this occasion, I was absorbing the tranquility of outdoor nature. Immediately, a song of my own came to me. A recollection of ideas and conclusions– delivered to me in one piece.
So here is what I wrote.
I hope it inspires you to claim victory in times of doubt; in times of fear:
”THE MISTAKES THAT I’VE MADE”
Songwriter: © Fatima Morken, 2018 BMI
VERSE 1:
“Is there a reason why I should complain?
Is there a reason why I should regret?
The decisions I’ve made
The mistakes that I’ve made
Is there a reason at all?
Why I should lament?
The mistakes that I’ve made
Is there a reason why I should accept?
Is there a reason why I should admit?
The complications of life
The mysteries in life
Is there a reason at all?
Why I should mistrust?
The mysteries in life
CHORUS:
Well, I can’t live a life of lies
I only want dreams
I only want joy
Well, I can stand strong in the storm
It’s not a hard thing
After knowing what’s peace
VERSE 2:
Is there a reason why my heart should faint?
Is there a reason my heart hesitates?
The conclusions I’ve made
The realizations I’ve made
Is there a reason at all?
Why I should think of?
The realizations I’ve made
Is there a reason why my soul should see?
Is there a reason my soul doesn’t feel?
Or questions the truth
Or question my love
Is there a reason at all?
Why I should have doubt?
Or question my love
REPEAT CHORUS
FINAL CHORUS:
Well, I can’t live a life of lies
I only want dreams
I only want joy
Well, I can stand strong in the storm
It’s not a hard thing
After knowing what’s peace”
