The words so far...
Verse 1
The children that didn't share,
the adults angry cares,
life is a happy game from Mother's embrace,
The sea has always been,
a friend to you and me,
nothing can hurt you from your Fathers arms....
Verse 2
Ten thousand points of light,
little fingers holding tight,
too young to understand
why everything they had,
everything they knew no longer stands,
what was once a friend,
has now brought a bitter end,
and taken away the arms that kept you safe...
Chorus
The tears on her cheek,
the havoc that's been wreaked,
the joy in her face that has been washed away,
lost her home,
lost her school,
nowhere else to play,
the land that was so green,
golden beaches, the homes we need,
now it's all turned grey...
Bridge / Verse 3
I could never take the place
of the ones you loved,
but if you let me in I'll give you my shelter,
Let me bear you home,
let me share the pain,
and together we can recover,
and build what will come after...
Outro
The tears on her cheek,
The havoc that's been wreaked,
but we'll wash away the pain,
though the future looks bleak,
with one voice we'll speak,
and build it all again...
I'll try to extend that outro chorus a bit but don't have much time to spare this week, any suggestions much appreciated
Don't know about title, Wash Away The Pain, or is that too cheesy??

Alright guys,
We're close to finishing this up. It's going great. We need to finalize the lyrics and the song title. It seems that Alex will be singing the song so he may take singer's liberties and change things around to get them to fit just so.
It should probably be his deal to provide an accurate list of what he will be singing. As far as a title, it should probably be left up to Mr. Base, as he wrote the majority of the lyrics.
John

I'm happy to go with the majority. At the moment I like Ten Thousand Points of Light. I'll toss out The Tears On Her Cheek as another alternative too.
Preferences...?

Anyone, anyone??? Bueller???
The line isn't in the song (but what the heck, Bowie used to do that all the time!!!!), but how about Ten Thousand Tears....? Little less of a mouthful than 10,000 points of light...

I like the 10000 point so flight from the viewpoint that song 1 has the word Tears in it.
Otherwise happy to go with the flow

This isn't Tears of Friendship, so I say we go with the somewhat wordy but apropos "10,000 Points of Light."
