NEW SONG: Leap of Faith (1st draft)

[khaosworks]

1st draft, really, and right now the tune is a little high for my own voice. A bit nervous and wary about the whole thing because it's the first original song I've written for nearly 4 years. Comments welcome.

Leap of Faith
Music and Lyrics © 2008 Terence Chua

Hello Sam
I've been watching you
Stamping on your toys
Trying to make out a message
Straining through all the noise
Girls in red dresses
With long flowing tresses
And clowns holding hands
Searching around you
'Cause right here you know
No one understands

Take a look at the lawman
Flying high on a leap of faith
Is the world around you really here
If you can't feel alive?
Maybe this is the make believe
Does it matter anyway?
All the questions left unanswered
As you take the final dive?
Is there life on Mars?

Goodbye Sam
You were always trapped
It was such a crime
Hanging there in the morning air
Caught between two times
Things just were never
The same or whatever
Since you got back
Nothing makes sense
And you know it won't ever
Till you skip that final track

Take a look at the lawman
Flying high on a leap of faith
Is the world around you really here
If you can't feel alive?
Maybe this is the make believe
Does it matter anyway?
All the questions left unanswered
As you take the final dive?
Is there life on Mars?


And you told her that you'd never leave her
It's a promise you don't want to break
But if one isn't real and the other's a dream
From which one do you want to wake?

Take a look at the lawman
Flying high on a leap of faith
Is the world around you really here
If you can't feel alive?
Maybe this is the make believe
Does it matter anyway?
All the questions left unanswered
As you take the final dive?
Is there life on Mars?
