    My first attempts at writing a song! How to make it better?
    Hey guys this is my first attempt at writing a song, and I really need some help on the lyrics, and how to make them better. I wrote the verse, the prechorus, and part of the chorus because I got stuck.. so please help! Here's the bits I have written/. And maybe also you can suggest a title for it :-)


    When I look back at my life
    So filled with misery and strife
    I can't help but burst into tears
    Wish someone was there to wash away my fears


    When I look at this crazy world
    Lying, betrayal, guns and swords
    Into the hopelessness I stare
    Wondering why nobody seems to care


    PreChorus

    Yes, life is unfair, life is mean
    Makes me want to cry, want to scream
    But don't fret, there is still hope
    The one life saving rope:


    Chorus

    Jesus, our saviour and only hope
    Even in the times whe life is the hardest cope

    It's good, but if you want some advice- Sometimes when we write lyrics, we can focus too much on making it rhyme and fit, and in doing this, we sometimes lose the meaning of the lyrics and limit ourselves to what we want to say.

    I'm guessing the song has Christian relevance, so you could refer to the bible for title ideas.

    I really like it :). Rhyming is on the safe side. But it really depends on how you want your temp to go. I think that you should for with silverfox's idea and do a bible reference. How about one that talks about how your empty without the Lord? Um.. Psalms has some good ones :)
    Hope this helps,

    Yeah um. Basically, what inspired me is the suicidal moments I have had about a week ago that lasted well 3 or 4 days until I snapped out of it and realised that well God is still there He has never and will never give up on me... even though my life sucks and this world is well bad.

    Hope that gives you more information to work with!

    It's good and clever. But, try to think about each emotion you were feeling at momeant. Just beacues one word sounds good with another doesn't mean you have to wright it.:)
