Doing ‘it’.
For 1500 people from various nations,
or only for one faithful reader,
I want to keep on doing what I love.
Doing it like everyone is watching
Doing it like no one is watching.
Not for useless recognition and instant gratification.
There’s too many people doing it for fame and money.
“The skies already got enough stars.”
Only few people doing it out of love, and I don’t mind being a minority.
To those lonely nights where I felt I was the only one,
to those mockery and cold stare people gave.
“How can you make money out of doing ‘THAT?” they asked.
I answered, “I don’t mind starving to death if that’s what it takes. I can’t help it, this is what I love.”
Frankly, i still don’t know. The future is still unknown. But I know the One who knows, that’s what truly matters.
“I enter the rooms and hope they notice me.
To fill my social insecurities.
I’m asking if there’s any hope for me.
‘Cause there is only room for one.
“Why are we so convinced a bigger audience is simply common sense to have?
Maybe success is measured best by nothing less then our obedience
So if I’m destined for a small stage, the small crowds and the small pay, then maybe even in a small way….I can bring You fame
And if I’m here to write number one
To get gold maybe platinum
Make me a singer who is unsung
Cause You won’t share your fame.
Help me to get back to the reason I sing..”
(Jimmy Needham - The Reason I sing)
Help me to get back to the reason I write…
Off i go,
muSHAdool.
