Hello,
 Been having a little trouble with my voice the last few days, not much in my higher register, I had to sing a song yesterday that had a G above treble C, which I usually can hit somewhat reliably, but unfortunately it had some disastrous results that led to some personal embarrassment. So rather than rest my voice ( I had to sing 3 hours this morning & 6 tomorrow) I thought I'd just sing lower! I wrote this yesterday before I became really depressed... go figure! Just me and my Dean Exotica live!

Then We Cry
written and performed by Hook
A Simple Life, It's not like I have one
Struggle & strife are constants like the atom
Some things we see others we just take for granted
We seem selfish in nature, almost as if someone planned it

              We try for a spell
              We lie all to well
              & then we cry

It's not what you pictured & not at all how you planned
This happily ever after seems more like "The Running Man"
Back into the grind of constantly spinning gears
That play tricks on your mind a mirage of irrational fear

             Chorus
 
    I never can accept
   I question all concepts except mine
   I expect the expected
   & can never comprehend what I find

            Chorus

A Simple life, it's not like I have one

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

If Life is a dream then use your imagination

Those things we take for granted - when we're young and immature - will surely return to haunt us when we're old and insecure
