Lullaby [Goodnight, My Angel] {Lyrics}

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Jun 22, 2007


{Verse 1}
We often wonder if the stars taste like a bit of success, but we'll never know;
And we wonder what the sky's really made of; that black velvet blanket.
We wonder so much, but where are the answers to this universe of jokes?
I guess until God let's us by His side, we'll have to guess from where we are here below.

And maybe when God choses us over anything that we can compare,
The disease won't settle in and the hunger will subside for only a moment.
We'll ask for God's hand in the inevitable force of life that we beg to leave,
But He only pushes us away and begs us, "Blame it on Adam and Eve in your dispair."

{Hook}
There's just something about those shining stars that beckon us to the Holy skies,
And we wonder often why God doesn't want us by His side, but we try to understand;

We're part of God's children, but what are we really here for?

{Chorus}
Don't put your hand in the candle, just like those burning dreams,
We want to sing you to sleep, but we're also scared of your monsters.
You can pull the bed sheets tight to your face and pray the moon saves you;
We'll hold the stars close to our faces to hide the visible screams.

And maybe if we close our eyes and pray the monsters will go away,
God won't have to save us just yet; we'll save ourselves.
We'll ask God for His hand in the inevitable force of life, but He returns,
"Blame Adam and Even in your dispair; My dear child, please learn to pray."

{Verse 2}
If we hold onto theories of God, that might not really be there; it's only a taste of the Skies;
Where are we left to stand, but on our own? Isn't this what the Messiah taught us?
If we step lightly, the treading will become a burden we cannot want to bare,
But there's something about the twinkling of the stars that promises us He'll be there.

{Hook}
If His hand touched your face, would you sin anymore?
We're part of God's children, but what are we really here for?

    I see that these are song lyrics... but they are hard to follow. Perhaps because I don't know the beat :/

    We'll ask God for His hand in the inevitable force of life, but He returns,
    You have used we'll here, therefore you should use He'll.

    If we step lightly, the treading will become a burden we cannot want to bare,

    we cannot want to bear does not go well here. Perhaps you could say instead that we will not want to bear OR that we do not want to bear.

    It was my pleasure to review your poems. I hope that I have been a help and have not offended in any way :-D

    Oh, I really like this. It definitely isn't what I was expecting. From the title, you'd never have guessed that this was about faith/religion, which was a refreshing and interesting treat.

    "If we step lightly, the treading will become a burden we cannot want to bare,
    But there's something about the twinkling of the stars that promises us He'll be there."

    ^ That was [beautiful].

    I also love how you ended it with two questions, it leaves your readers thinking about what you wrote; it makes an impact.

    How poignant. Glad to see Ms. Sheena writing about a poem in regards to Faith. It seems to me that the subject, in the midst of turmoil and disdain, in the midst of doubts and uncertainties, feels directionless in life, yet maintains a charming confidence to the Most High. Lovely work. =] 5/5

    I like how you took the title and made it your own. This was definitely not what I had in mind, but it's better. Great job on this song. It's fresh. There are simple little errors though, and I'm being nice enough to tel you considering this affects your placing in the contest. Change he to He, and whatever little errors you find.

    5/5.
