Song4 - On My Feet

I came into FAWM with grandiose delusions which were swept away like so much shredded New Years Resolution. This being my second year I should have know better.

I have had chronic Migraines for 12 years. Standard treatments for the condition have failed to produce any results for me. After a while it can get to you. This is my response.

This is all single take work, a lot off the cuff, including the solo and the "ahs" so forgive the roughness. After all it is FAWM and it is a Demo.

It is not how I normally write. I'll let you be the judge of whether it is a good thing or not.

LYRICS

On My Feet

I went 15 rounds with the boogeyman
I’m battered and feeling bruised
My senses dull, my mind is numb
My body feels abused

48 hours with 2 of sleep
I’m sinking like a stone
Weariness worn like wool on sheep
It’s sticking to the bone

(chorus)
I’m still on my feet
Thanks to the Lord above
I know that life is sweet
And I know it’s full of love
All the pain in the world
Can’t take that away from me
All the pain in the world
Can’t take that away from me

I can’t remember ever being whole
It’s a bitter pill to take
I’ll be here till judgment day
Complaining of this ache

And I know I’m not alone
This stone isn’t mine to take
With you here by my side
I’m never gonna break

(chorus)

{bridge}
Ill armed, like a newborn
With stick to a hurricane
I’ll stand here beside you
And take aim at the rain

Rise up in the morning
Start to move again
Got my stick and rubber band
Bring on that boogeyman

(chorus)
