The Man With No Home

[Verse 1]
So desolate, so down
When he looks the people flee,
Sits all alone in his hometown,
He's a patriot you see,
This man is just like you and me,
But with no family around,
No dignity is found,

[Chorus]
He's a lost soul on the road to nowhere,
Switch the penny for the pound,
Trodden dreams upon the ground,
He's a lost soul on the road to nowhere.
Just a lost soul on the road to nowhere.

[Verse 2]
This man fought bravely for his flag,
His shoes with holes upon the floor,
Them dirty clothes are made of rag,
To die in war's considered valour,
Not this traffic and its clamour,
Not indignity's cold quiver,
As he poisons his own liver.

[Chorus]
He's a lost soul on the road to nowhere,
Switch the penny for the pound,
Trodden dreams upon the ground,
He's a lost soul on the road to nowhere.
Just a lost soul on the road to nowhere.

Beautiful song, the words really moved me. Thank you for sharing such great work.

Thank you friend, kudo to @ablaze for his great text!

another great performance

Thanks man !

Thanks man !

very cleverly composed, i can think of few things more tricky that composing to pre-wriiten lyrics, i always work music first. Great words to sing though.

Deon I will kid you not, while I was working on finding chords and melody, I was thinking of the work you do with Madego, and your other friend too that I forgot the name of.

There's a pre-definite amount of "foot" as its called in poetry, and I didn't want to change the text, or add an extra line .
It was super interesting to do and I think I will redo it again, as you say with a text like this one it's probably easier to come up with something nice

That was really powerful @edprivat.. Thanks so much for putting music to my words. The video of you doing the production was a really nice bonus as well. All the very best for the future - it holds great things for you.

Thanks so much again for your amazing entry for the contest, I hope you enjoyed listening and watching as much as I enjoyed making it . I look forward to read more of your poetry and content ! Big up! :)
