A Work in Progress.

This here is a poem written by my dear sister that I think you all should read. I am currently putting it to music. I have all the chords but I still need to rehearse it with the band. So any music people out there who like chords give this progression a try.

Now I think I do believe
in a star will cure
our age old disease
gather round and sing with me a song,
a song about the sea,
where all the stars fell
a soft night in decemember

clouds were weeping
to feel the breaking in their sheets
as the fed the oceans
bright salinity

Oh, like a city with a white stream
a veil or a curtain
God I pray you'll make me see
make me certain of this ever flowing dream
full of brightness not of me, oh
brightness not of me.

I'll surely drink up,
as You'll surely fill my cup
bottom dollar's no lie and so I'll repeat the bet,
"I'll never be thirsty again."
Everlasting, satisfying, oh might
my soul help amend
all sorrow, all strife
all the innocents
whose lives I'd take in a moment just to feel
strangely justified?


Oh, like a city with a white stream
a veil or a curtain
I saw my body come to me
it was more than ephemeral brightness
oh to be tangible, oh to feel
but it was a dream not of me.

Sing not I, not I,
my master's in the sky
left a lantern burning
heart was of the lost and found now
it's in my hand, now it's in my hand
show me how to fly again even though i'm blind
I smell the mud on your hands.

Oh, like a city with a white stream
a torn veil or a curtain
God I pray you'll make me see
make me certain of this ever flowing dream,
full of brightness not of me, oh make me bright
as when i first saw thee.



(intro)Dbpedal in left hand I think this is in 3. (slow three)
the rhythm for the left hand, eventually the bass is:
1-2-3(triplets) eight rest. eighth-two sixteenths)
the notes would be Db-Db-Db- rest - Bb Bb-Db

the chords in the right hand move after the completion of this measure.
DbM7-Ab-Abdim/Bb x2
verse:
FM7-CM7-FM7-CM7-Eb-Fm-cm-Ab x2 second time Bb instead of Ab

bridge: pedal Bb--random things happen

chorus:
DbM7-Ab-Abdim/Bb fm-fm-Eb-Bbm

so, try it out and see if you like it or not. its a good time
