This song started as a sardonic commentary on what happens at open-mic nights and then got more serious. I'm finally going to get to present it live at an open-mic night at my wife's 50th college reunion in a week or so. Wish me luck!

Key: Dm (7/Gm)

We Were Young but Daily Growing


Dm------------------------------------F--------C------Dm
We sat there in the dark, each im-patient for our turn,
-----------C-----------------Am----------F--------Dm-----C-Dm
Yet we did not know the words, nor had we learned the tune --
-----------------------------------------------------F---Dm
Some would rise and fall, some showed no con-cern;
--------------C---------Am----Dm
We were young but daily growing.


There were no easy answers, no whispers in the night,
Yet we had the strength within us, the strength to get it right;
And if we had no leaders to guide us to the light,
We were young but daily growing.

We marched and sang together, who knew where we were bound?
Yet we knew our cause was just, who could us all confound?
If I were back there now, would I dare to sing this round?
We were young but daily growing.

Now our time is drawing near, and yet the work remains,
May another generation, step up to the game,
And may your songs ring truly, and shelter you from pain,
You are young but daily growing. (2X)

Thanks, Sandra, for fixing the link! It kind of makes sense that one needed to be "down under" to see where things went astray.

Cheerily,

no worries, mate!

DaveRo created the linkifier when I was having trouble using Mudcat's blickifier with very long URLs, so I like promoting it. It's a very useful tool.
