Inspiration

Words and Music by ADDA

I'm gonna force out a song tonight even if it strikes me dead
I've got to make sense of the thoughts and words that are wanderin' through my head

A million stories are born every day, maybe one should get passed down
So the traveling minstrel can earn his keep when he finally reaches town

Life and love and experience are supposed to reel you in
But I can't find you anywhere and I don't know where to begin

The singer can't translate into song the thoughts of an empty head
It seems the story will go untold, but a wise man once said

You come to me at the strangest of times
Never there when I expect you
Never there when I'm in need
So I'll sit by the door and I'll wait for your arrival
The inspiration can be hard to find sometimes

Even as I sit here now the words keep ringing true
The meaning of the song seems lost in the absence of you

Looking to the abstract for a power I don't possess
Guide my guitar and guide my pen and make order of this mess

A title has no purpose without some words to tag along
Please help me now I'm begging you, just give the voice a song

You come to me at the strangest of times
Never there when I expect you
Never there when I'm in need
So I'll sit by the door and I'll wait for your arrival
The inspiration can be hard to find sometimes

The idea's taken shape now and the voice has found it's song
The crowd can start to beg for more and the band can now play on.

You come to me at the strangest of times
Never there when I expect you
Never there when I'm in need
So I'll sit by the door and I'll wait for your arrival
The inspiration can be hard to find sometimes
