Day #9- "A Hundred Million Reasons"

I need to start writing these earlier in the day.

Today I got home from work at around 12:30. For some reason, I feel most creative at night. But I also tend to feel sleepiest at night. Surprise. Thus the paradox. Tonight's was written in the twilight right before sleep in around 20 minutes. I've found the more I get in the habit of writing, the less hyper-critical I am with myself and my work- especially my lyrics. Since I know every day will lead to some form of expression, it takes the pressure off of me to make every song perfect. 

I need to find ways to spark my creativity in daylight methinks though.

"A Hundred Million Reasons" (totally used a Jon Foreman lyric in this one. see if you can find it)

There's seven billion heartbeats on the earth tonight
Seven billion mouths to feed, seven billion lives

I am not the man to save the world
I am not the one to heal it's hurts
This heart of mine gets surrounded by weeds on all sides
Distracted by myself
I could never form a plan
I can't help you
But I know the one who can

A hundred million reasons we can't ever change
Greedy politicians and fools behind the reigns

I've come to expect manmade solutions
Will always lead to dissolution
Your heroes always let you down
Distracted by ourselves
We could never lend a hand
We can't help it
But I know the one who can
