'Your Star'

This lyric is called: 'Your Star'. It is metaphorical and literal - in the sense that the desire is to make people believe in themselves. I hope most of my lyrics promote good feelings or help one believe in themselves a little bit more.

Hope you like it. It's called:

YOUR STAR

V1:

If I smiled at you

Would you try one on too?

It might just suit you

If I laughed all day

Would you join the craze?

It might just amaze

Chorus:

Cos you are individual

So spontaneous so wonderful

You live for the moment

Not worried about rough treatment

Cos you are so beautiful

And nothing can stand in your way at all

Because once you accept who you are

Nothing can refute the shine from your star

V2:

So what you hiding?

You know it’s gonna come out sometime

Don’t be afraid to let your light shine

How many people there are who feel just like you                         

There’s not much one person can do

To make you believe that it’s oh so true

(Repeat Chorus)

M8:

So no don’t you hide away

Behind that cornerstone hey

You have to have a voice

If you wanna be heard

You have a choice

Now kick up a storm if it’s what you want

(Repeat Chorus)

Thank you for reading.

QUESTIONS OF A BREAKING HEART

V1:

It’s always a heartbreaker

When you see him running off to her

There’s always something going on in your mind all the while

He kisses her and smiles

Chorus:

Why can’t they end?

Why can’t she give up?

These are questions you ask yourself

When you are so in love

Why can’t he see?

That he and I are meant to be

All questions of a breaking heart

V2:

It’s always a heartbreaker

When you see him kissing her so tenderly

There’s always someone who wants to interrupt

But then again he’s happy in love

(Repeat Chorus)

M8:

I know what it’s like

I’ve had this feeling many times

(Repeat Chorus).

'London 2012'

I'm going to ask readers' like you, to help me name this lyric. I want you guys to have your say! Either on my twitter @steph_carfrae tweet me words for titles or on my facebook just post on my wall, or indeed leave a comment at the bottom of this post. Thanks. I will let you know what I've chosen next week!

 What an amazing summer this has been! I never got to go to either the olympics or paralympics but my parents and sister and brother went to the paralympics on the night of Pistorious's 400m final and held the phone up for me! I was just overwhelmed by the spectacular human spirit that everyone witnessed during the games and I hope it continues. So I wrote this lyric the moment after I had finished watching the parade of our greatest team on TV. It's dedicated to all those heroes. I hope you like it.

V1:

It’s over it’s done

Everyone had their moment in the sun

We’ll look back in years to come

And be amazed by the hurdles we’ve overcome

We have exceeded many expectations

And grabbed the world’s full attention

I am proud of everything we’ve achieved

I am talking for the nation we’re one big family

Chorus:

I am so proud of you today and always

You’ll never wipe the smile off my face

You’ve made the impossible seem possible

You’ve taken us on a journey so incredible

I never wanted it to end

But every good thing must my friend

So we can appreciate everything you went through
I wanna thank everyone, especially you

V2:

The final whistle’s blown

I know I’m not alone

In saying you truly inspired

Everyone in their lives to go higher

We have done ourselves proud

Take the words and scream them out loud

I am proud of everything we’ve achieved

I am talking for the nation we’re one big family

 (Repeat Chorus)

M8:

I am so proud of everyone it’s just brought us together

A feeling like this will hopefully last forever

Your smiles will last a life-time

In our hearts and in our minds

Oh yeah yeah

(Repeat Chorus).

'Today Is My Someday'

Hot off the press! I only just wrote this tonight, because I was so inspired by the British performance in the paralympics. Everyone whor got a medal tonight is a true hero in my eyes - Dave Weir to first timer Jonnie Peacock. Honestly can't believe that that was Jonnie's first games he had such great composure and just stormed the field! He is a lil' gorgeous too!

So my song (although it's a love song and maybe wishful thinking about Jonnie on my part) is dedicated to the truimph of the 2012 games - both paralympic and olympic!

I was just too excited to wait another week to share this with you guys - and yes, I will be posting next Wednesday as per usual. Any comments welcome, either on here, on facebook or on my twitter @steph_carfrae !!

So here it is. Hope you like it!!

It's called: Today Is My Someday

V1:

I am so intrigued by you

Got me taking a leave of absence for you

I wanna know more about what you do

So let the rain pour c’mon and show me the truth

I’ll tell you one thing I’m not gonna lie

I think you’ll fall about a thousand times

But everyone needs that to come back with more venom

Next time you just see who’s laughing

Chorus:

I know I can hold you when the nights get colder

I know for me you never have a cold shoulder

And I can betcha

That I’m gonna make my someday today

I know I can cry on your shoulder

When the days and nights get colder

And I can betcha

That today is my someday

Hey

V2:

I am impressed by you

You’re so smartly dressed and good looking too

Just keep talking wind the hours away

I’m mesmerized you’ve got me in a daze

But I ain’t complaining oh no no

You just show me the way to go

It’s taken you to inspire me

Next time we’ll just see who’s laughing

(Repeat Chorus)

M8:

Have you ever thought about

The best feeling in the world

I know without doubt

It’s being called your girl

Cos oh yes I know

(Repeat Chorus)

'Not Alone'

Most of these lyrics I wrote a few years ago, and because I'd never had a way to get them out before, I am sharing them with you now! But hopefully, I will get to put up some modern day stuff if and when I can. I am excited to be sharing these lyrics and getting feedback though, as it has been a long time coming!

'Not Alone' is a response to a song of the same title by none other than Danny Jones of McFLY. Hopefully it promotes the same kind of hopefulness that Danny's song picks up on. Because yes, we all have a hard life and every one of us is dealing with issues, but hopefully through lyrics like these you'll see you're really not alone. Hope you like it. Opinions appreciated. Please leave them below. If you'd like to attempt to put music to any of my work please comment below too.

It's called:

NOT ALONE

V1:

When I have fought

And I’ve given it my all

At my door I see you

And it doesn’t matter whether I win or lose

I know you will be there for me

And undoubtedly you will care for me

I just need to open my windows to clear the air

Chorus:

Cos when the punches have been thrown

And I’m left standing all alone

I know I won’t be on my own

You once told me I’m not alone

When all the bruises have gotten too deep

And the pain I feel begins to seep

I know I’ll never be

On my own

Cos you once told me I’m not alone

V2:

When I’ve seen it through

Endless nights with you

Take me to another place

And no matter what you put a smile on my face

Yeah yeah I know you will be strong

And tell me ooh I need to hold on

I just need to open up and sing my song oh yeah

(Repeat Chorus)

M8:

Baby when I’m lying on the floor

And I really can’t take no more

You cover me in love and make me strong

You give me the will to go on

You say yes the road is long

But you know you’ll never be alone

So keep struggling on

Cos you are never alone

(Repeat Chorus).
