A. wow, that's wicked good
B.  what a pain it would be to write the verses for it.  I mean it's not about love, or angst, or my woman left me.

So I picked it.

I don't know if I'm finished yet.

The lines in the verses go short, long, short, long, speed wise.

One more thing, it isn't a love song.  You may hear it that way, which would be great, but deep down it's about politics and our political leaders.  I can't tell you how many songs I've sung for years without having the foggiest idea of what they were truly about.

I have a sound in my mind for it that is like CSNY.  Let me know what you think.


Broken
Promises
Deceit and sorrow
touch me now
But cold tomorrow
Yesterday
I promised not to call you

Hearts are made
Just to be broken
Shattered by
the storm unspoken
yesterday
I promised not to fall for you

pre chorus:
promises....
hearts....
dreams....

(Up tempo change/mood change/meter change)

Chorus:
Broken to one
Broken for all
Promises hearts and dreams are calling
Please heed the words
Your children have spoken
Don't leave us alone on a world that is broken

(Back to original tempo/meter/mood)

Dream a dream
Don't dare wake up
Nightmares wait
Behind the make up
Yesterday
I dreamed a dream of love

pre chorus:
promises....
hearts....
dreams....

(Up tempo change/mood change/meter change)

Chorus:
Broken to one
Broken for all
Promises hearts and dreams are calling
Please heed the words
Your children have spoken
Don't leave us alone on a world that is broken

(Back to original tempo, meter, mood)

Promises...
hearts...
dreams...

Broken

Promises
hearts
dreams

Broken
