First chance to get the guitars out in a while and this came to me.

(Up-date wasn't happy with my singing on the first line so I resang it this morning and uploaded new version.

it is what it is.
The sun, the moon, the stars, still shine
The sea, the waves, the tide, in time
I try to break the rules by trying not to rhyme
But I can't help myself, it happens all the time
And I'd tell you what you know
If I only knew what you know
And I'd tell you what to do
If I only knew what to do
And each and every day, brings something new
The sun it shines on me and you and you and you
I'm feeling good, I hope you don't feel blue
But if you are, I'm here to help you through
And I'd tell you what you know
If I only knew what you know
And I'd tell you what to do
If I only knew what to do
But I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
No I don't know what to do
Do you...........

Wow James this was easy listening. There should be someone if not yourself who could become famous with your sublime lyrics.
By the way, speaking of wich can't you republish your " This is your story" while you juggle some fruit.
That is the song you inspired me with to sing. I would very much like that
I do have an electric bass and guitar, i do have an acoustic guitar. I even have a keyboard and a Roland drum set What I seem to miss is skills. So to cure my at least 40y frustration I dicovered my instrument being my voice. So I finaly had the nerve to take singing lessons and make my voice heared thanks to Songcrafters.
