Description
treated myself to a new guitar a few weeks back (Taylor acoustic-electric) and this little 2.4 minute ditty is the first song I've composed and recorded using it. A bit rough round the edges but I thought I'd post it as is, without trying to over-elaborate with drums, bass etc.
Thanks for listening

Lyrics
When you were a little child
And all that passed before your eyes would shine
To wake each day enchanted by your world
Surrounded and astounded by it all
But fate can be as fickle as a breeze
A kick inside to bring you to your knees
I pray someday that light will shine again
As you cast aside those demons and your pain
Why did we wait so long?
To late to notice anything was wrong
Your lust for life - it slowly ebbed away
Replaced by introspection day by day
It hurts to know what you’ve had to endure
But I’ll never leave your side you can be sure
Why did you wait so long?
We didn’t notice anything was wrong
Some get but one chance - to find their way
While others live to fight another day
Some spend their days entrapped behind bars
When they could reach for the sky to touch the stars
Where do we go from here?
Just one life to lead- so show no fear
And all that passed before your eyes would shine
To wake each day enchanted by your world
Surrounded and astounded by it all
But fate can be as fickle as a breeze
A kick inside to bring you to your knees
I pray someday that light will shine again
As you cast aside those demons and your pain
Why did we wait so long?
To late to notice anything was wrong
Your lust for life - it slowly ebbed away
Replaced by introspection day by day
It hurts to know what you’ve had to endure
But I’ll never leave your side you can be sure
Why did you wait so long?
We didn’t notice anything was wrong
Some get but one chance - to find their way
While others live to fight another day
Some spend their days entrapped behind bars
When they could reach for the sky to touch the stars
Where do we go from here?
Just one life to lead- so show no fear

The new guitar sounds great! I think the tune works great with just the guitar and voice. A very nice melody and I love the bitetrsweet lyrics. Great all around song.
