Lynn sat in a practice room with her accoustic guitar propped up in her lap and a few sheets of notebook paper on a stand. There were a few lines of words, or better yet lyrics on one of them. Yes, believe it or not she was trying to actually write a song on her own. She wasn't the greatest at it, but sometimes she got the muse to at least try. I just didn't come easy for her.
She had on a pair of purple jogging pants, a sky blue tanktop, and a matching jogging coat. Her glasses of course were where they usually are. Covering her eyes that were just kind of staring unseeingly at the wall infront of her. Her hair was down and in it's natural wave as it usally was as well.
Her hand strummed along as she sang what she had so far.
"In this world of pain and sorrow,
we are left to face these horrors,
but in this darkness there is a light.
It shines so bright with hope and faith..."
She stopped and shook her head gently. "This was a bad idea." She murmured gently rubbing the back of her neck as she repeated the lines she had so far in her head. There was something about that fourth line that just wasn't clicking for her, and it was bugging her.
She sighed softly and then started to play another tune she learned . It was a Kenny Rogers tune, and one of her favorites.
"Oh, the last ten years, it's been quite a trip
Over thirty-six-hundred spins around without a cosmic slip
But within the realm of our atmosphere
We're 'bout as out of whack as we've been in a million years
We watched the Y2K scare in a panic
And we watched as time proved Nostrodamus was wrong
And we watched as Mother Nature shook the planet
And cellular replaced the telephone
We lost Charlie Brown, Ray Charles and Johnny Cash
We even lost Superman"
She continued playing gently as her voice lilted along softly as she sang and thought.
"Well, the last ten years, look at the hills we've climbed
The best golfer's black, the best rapper's white
And it's about damn time
But we best beware, there's a brand new fight, you see
And I hate to say we might be our own worst enemy
We watched Oklahoma siftin' through the damage
And we watched a US President get caught
We watched shareholders watched their savings vanish
We all cried when we watched those towers fall
We lost Minnie Pearl, Ron Reagan and Sam Ahan
We even lost Superman
Expensive gas and free downloads
The dot-com boom, and reality shows
What's gonna happen next is anybody's guess
Satellite radio and hybrid cars
Hand-held computers and a trip to Mars
It's all become a part of who we are
In the last ten years
In the last ten years
We lost George Harrison
John Paul and June Carter-Cash
Hell, we even lost Superman
Gonna miss you, Chris"
