across the room... looked out the window.. walked back to the table, and

<erjent> Never before would you see anything like that
<lilangel> the situation left my mind blank, and my body still
<DaleB> the teenage girl stood speechless as she walked in on the body
of her boyfriend who had just commited suicide
<Liane> suddenly I found myself in a cloud of nothingness as I realized
I was paralized with fear

<Marty> can be both.
<AXEMAN> (Liane): yes
<hotrod> my head throbbed as the adrenaline rushed with my rage

knife taken from my back
<Angie1> hi all

<Liane> wow
<AXEMAN> (erjent): Hotrod should have come up with that one
* Soulhat looks around for copyright directions lol
<hotrod> lol
<Liane> Soulhat that looks as though you had already worked on a lyric
rather than a spur of the moment thing... that's exellent
<DaleB> next is sadness
<hotrod> as cold as night his stare showed the truth
<Soulhat> well...its kind of half and half...i had "for the love of
hatred" floating around in my head
<Soulhat> and i just worked with it on the spur of the moment
<Liane> in the brightness of the day, all she could see was dark dismay
<Marty> a well bursts forth from her eyes each time a flower dies.
<Soulhat> i'm good at improv =)
<lilangel> tears that come too freely, overwhelming my very being
<hotrod> is
<Liane> you sure are Soul
*** Angie1 has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
<Liane> anyone else for 'sadness' before we go to the next one?
<erjent> happiness being turned upside down, a crowd of one looks on
<DaleB> cried so much I'm out of tears (maybe a country song?)
<Soulhat> umm...time marches to its doom, trapped inside a growing
gloom?
<Liane> Dale sounds like it to me!
<Liane> Soulhat is very good at rhyming
<DaleB> There's a tear in my beer
<Soulhat> in a room with a zoom and a boom...
<Soulhat> =P
<hotrod> lol
<Liane> lol
<Soulhat> its the dr seuss school of improv...pick a word and look
for others that rhyme with it hehe
<Liane> not sure if 'hurt' should be the next one... hurt brings both
sadness and anger which we've already done
<Marty> the pain in her heart was but a cut of the knife in her life.
<AXEMAN> (Soulhat): you sure you're not the cat in the hat come back?

<DaleB> we're not going to make it through the list at this rate
<Liane> space was more spacious
<lilangel> after years of not breathing, finally breath comes deep
and refreshing
<Liane> wings flew higher
<Marty> the tingling feel of a spring days rain.
<Liane> fish swam faster
<erjent> like a baby bird falling out of it's nest,waiting for the
wind to blow
*** JamesBMitchell has joined #Christian-Songwriters
<DaleB> wb James
<Marty> Welcome Back James
<AXEMAN> like the first light of a new day

distracted)
<lilangel> ok newfound freedom? Cause Jesus died and then he rose again
and now you're free from your sin, so be free!
<lilangel> lol
<DaleB> throwing off the chains of guilt and worry, the new Christian
looks brightly to a new day
<hotrod> the first breath was like the rush of a fall breeze
<erjent> knowing i don't need the drink, taking it anyway
<Liane> erjent that was freedom?
<erjent> could be
<erjent> i was thinking of an alcholic
<AXEMAN> suddenly It hit me...I can fail... and it's ok
<DaleB> Go Axe!
<Liane> next: disappointed/discouraged
<Marty> like a sea worn beach.
<Liane> she felt the life drain out of her
<lilangel> when trouble comes your way, and you don't even know what
to pray
<JamesBMitchell> living life in a rodent's wheel, going 'round and
around and around
<hotrod> man this can be hard
<Liane> yeah!
<Liane> good exercise huh?
<DaleB> after seeing the "No" in her eyes, the suitor put the once
shiny ring back in his pocket
<AXEMAN> It seems that everything I touch dies
<JamesBMitchell> head heavy, heart on the floor, giving everything,
still needing more
<AXEMAN> (JamesBMitchell): WoW
<Liane> good one James!
<Liane> next: joyful
<hotrod> im not a very good or experienced writer anyway
* lilangel already wrote that song though LOL
<Liane> you're doing great hotrod
<JamesBMitchell> (Are we going for lyric format? or phrase? Still
a little confused)
<Marty> the beauty of birth, a child's life and it's mirth.
<Liane> lyric... phrase that can be in a lyric
<AXEMAN> dancing with joy
<DaleB> I'm not a great lyricist, so if I get a phrase at all
I'm doing good ;-)
<lilangel> joyful: new heights of a happy heart, the soul that finds
a new start
<Marty> a rainbow of hope, the colors of joy.
<JamesBMitchell> My spirit's above my head, dancing among the trees...
<erjent> candy store---kid with a dollar----gettin them 2 for 1
<lilangel> lol erjent
<Liane> another good one James
<Liane> yeah erjent.. lol
<AXEMAN> a prisoner pardoned
<DaleB> as Charlie Brown brings out a fresh bowl of food, Snoopy dances
with glee
<JamesBMitchell> supper,supper,suppertime!

<Liane> her heart began to dance unending
<Liane> I typed that BEFORE reading the charlie brown comment!!!

<AXEMAN> kids on christmas morning
<Liane> good one Ken
<erjent> mom and dad on christmas night
<JamesBMitchell> arms opening wide to embrace the day, heart pounding
like tumbling puppies at play...
<Liane> self pity
<AXEMAN> nobody loves me everybody hates me ...think I'll eat a worm
<Marty> he swore at his situation, felling his own frustration.
<AXEMAN> opps I did that already
<Liane> no cheating!!
<AXEMAN> well you'd be paranoid too.....if everyone was out to get
you!!!!!
<Liane> I'll never love again
<lilangel> self pity: why is it me, always the same, a self centered
plea, only one in the game
<Liane> no one has my problems
<DaleB> Gloom, despair and agony on me!
<lilangel> lol
<hotrod> if i only knew my efforts were getting through
<erjent> in the depths of dispare with no one but
myself god turned away from me
<Marty> Like Jonah and the Whale, all I could do was wail.
<Liane> lol
<AXEMAN> so low there's no place lower to go
<Soulhat> no matter how low you are, there is always someone to look
down upon
<JamesBMitchell> What in the world has the world got against me? What
did I do to deserve such a life? Two kids, a wife, and a mortgage to haunt
me, no one who wants to enliven my life.
*** WWJD_david has joined #Christian-Songwriters

<Liane> or maybe you just 'saw' God's grace and mercy and love for
you for the first time and it hit you like a ton of bricks
<AXEMAN> You touch me Lord and I'm undone... my darkness shattered
by Your Son
<DaleB> With all that I've done, how could you love me? I just don't
understand. I push you away but you're always there with open arms, ready
to take me back to you.

face
<erjent> in box overflowing paddling upstream
with broken oars

<Lyndra> hi james, hi ken
<Liane> next: feeling sorry
<JamesBMitchell> Sorry in what way?
* Lyndra waves back at lilangel.
<JamesBMitchell> remorseful?
<AXE> So listen brother and know that it's true .... christ died for
me.. and he died for you too
<Liane> you messed up and want forgiveness
* DaleB is a sorry individual.
<Liane> yes
<Lyndra> how do i play?
* Lyndra snickers rudely at dale.
<Liane> describe the feeling in a lyrical way
<DaleB> (as a lyricist)
<lilangel> feeling sorry: I know I was wrong, let me try again,
I am only a human, emersed in my sin
* Lyndra quotes Patsy Cline
<Liane> the pain I caused bounced back to me
<Lyndra> ./~ I'm sorry, so sorry, please accept my apologies ./~
<JamesBMitchell> Here I am again, asking once again, for what I don't
deserve.... forgiveness.
<Liane> straight and to the point Lyndra!
<Lyndra> or are we going for original?
<AXE> the Katinas..."I lay it all down again"
<Liane> no cheating!
<DaleB> supposed to be original
<Liane> next: someone needs your forgiveness... describe your feelings

[DaleB SOUND]
<JamesBMitchell> I'm thinking on this one...
<lilangel> the hurt is still there, it rubs against my heart, But the
Father forgave you, and it is yours to keep, I'll do the same, pain is
superficial, forgiveness is deep
<AXE> this may be hitting too close to home for me right now
<Liane> no one knows what it feels like?
<JamesBMitchell> good one, angel.
<Liane> oh I see
