“06 – Lyrics / Poem to Lindsey Stirling’s "Heist” song”

Details

Description

These "Lyrics / Poem" are actually my my 06 edition in Lindsey Stirling's newest CD "Shatter Me" that has 15 new songs on it. I mispoke in the video.

I am using Lindsey Stirling's instrumental song "Heist" in the background as I read and attempt to match the lyrics / poem I wrote to the song. Please excuse my terrible singing because I am a writer, not a singer. :)

Lindsey Stirling's song that I wrote lyrics / a poem for is "Heist" and the official music video can be viewed on YouTube here:

(I do not own the rights to the "Heist" song, obviously, however the poem / lyrics I read is my own original work) I will post the full written poem / lyrics at the very bottom of this because God knows, my singing is no bueno. ;)

“06 – Lyrics / Poem to Lindsey Stirling’s “Heist” song”

A long time ago in a time filled with fear and doubt,
This permeating feeling stretching far out, across all lands,
Affecting all hearts, clouds darkening skies,
Something stolen from our eyes, (0.33)
A longing dreadful lingering, outside non-revealing,
Yet inside echo, screams and cries,
So confused, we don’t understand, how can we have so much,
Yet we are still sad, (0.43)
You and I, are the same, desiring a simplicity of life,
That can, be achieved, no one to blame and no one to fear and shame, (0.54)
This life is no illusion, love is no silly game, please, hear these words,
Take my hand, overcome this pain, now,
Rally quick, do not think, do not allow,
Yourself to slow down, you are finally covering ground,
Now to change our patterns and routines,
If you fall or trip, pick yourself up, maintain your grip,
Do not focus, do not see, daily petty dealings,
Surrounding all of we, push on through, only then you’ll see,
The chains that bind, you and me,
A ripple effect, daily felt, media seen,
The time to ignore, this exodus of dreams, slowly disintegrating our core,
leading us to be so critical and truly downright mean, (1:44)
To everyone and to everything,
Not thinking before we speak, regrets for, no one else,
Shunning the meek for not fitting into “my best”,
Why do we feel so alone, with so few who understand,
From where, we come, yet, most of us come from,
Just about the same place, commonalities abound,
No reason to shy, no call to scowl, think,
Put aside your hurt, focus on my pain,
I will be there for when you need me, and together,
We will push through, a reacquisition of a lost happiness,
Then and only then, can we pursue, this goal,
For the rest of the world, finally knowing, showing this love to,
Anyone, and everyone you come into contact with,
Showing kindness and understanding,
Exercising forgiveness even when, you do not understand,
Through these simple actions, we can, take back,
Reacquiring that hope in our eyes,
Relearning to love yourself will allow you to learn to love the world again and all of those within.
