Poetry Corner: Sky Fall Away

I much prefer writing song lyrics to just writing poetry. This is a realization I have come to in the past few years. I love writing poetry, but hearing my words turned into music is just one of the most rewarding things I've ever experienced.This is another song that Brittany commissioned a while back. Another one I don't know if she ever got around to writing music for... but hopefully someday!This song is based on the story of Chicken Little... but with a twist...Sky Fall AwayOn his head the acorn fell we know the story wellWhat if that little chicken was too afraid to tell?Perhaps a lot of others, would not have gotten scaredThey also wouldn’t know how much their king really cared.[chorus]Sky, fall away, send us running to our KingHe will calm our hearts and all fears we may bring.So sky, fall away, fall away, fall away, fall awayTroubles bring us fears and doubts with questions like, “Why me?”Caught up in our moment, we can find it hard to seeThat big or small, real or imagined, with everythingLike that little chicken we should run straight to the King.[bridge]Time and again, in our lives,We hesitate to do what’s rightTerrified that no one caresThat no one listens to our prayers[chorus]Sky, fall away, send us running to our KingHe will calm our hearts and all fears we may bring.So sky, fall away, fall away, fall away
