Writing song lyrics is a great way to express yourself. What are you thinking about? How are you feeling? What makes you mad, sad, happy, or afraid? What do you wish for? Write about it in a song.<\/p>

Don\u2019t know where to start? Listen to your favorite songs. Write out the lyrics. If you can\u2019t make out all the words, search for them online. When you have the words in front of you, study them. What do you notice? Is there rhyming? What\u2019s the pattern? Notice what is the same and what is different in the songs you like.<\/p>

Song lyrics are made up of verses and a chorus, the part that gets repeated during the song. Many songs have a bridge, a part that is different than the verses and chorus. It provides more variety to your song. But let\u2019s not concern ourselves with bridges at this point. Let\u2019s keep it simple.<\/p>

Do you play music? If so, you can start by developing a melody you like and then adding the words to it. Or, you can begin with the lyrics. Select your topic and stick to it as you write. One way to write lyrics is to start with a title. Ask yourself what you want to say about the title. Then, say it in your verses and chorus. Try to create a rhythm in your lines that sounds good when you say them aloud. If you\u2019re using rhymes, make them consistent. Use an online rhyming site to help you.<\/p>

When you\u2019ve finished, you can add music if you haven\u2019t already done it. If you don\u2019t play an instrument, you can create the melody with you voice. Or, you can find someone who can add the music. That\u2019s what I\u2019ve done. I showed some of my lyrics to a guy who has been in the music business for 40 years, who\u2019s been in bands, made records, and written his own music. He really liked the lyrics I showed him and has been creating the music to go with them. The songs will be made into a CD when we have enough.<\/p>

Below is an example of one of the songs we\u2019ll be recording. The lyrics reflect my thoughts and feelings about about fall. What do you think they are? How do you know?<\/p>

Round, Round, Round<\/p>

Fall is falling<\/p>

Falling fast<\/p>

Fall is falling<\/p>

Nothing lasts<\/p>

Round, round, round<\/p>

Round we go<\/p>

Cool and crispy<\/p>

Morning air<\/p>

Cool and crispy<\/p>

Everywhere<\/p>

Spinning round, round, round<\/p>

Spinning round, round, round<\/p>

Round we go<\/p>

Stretched out on the ground<\/p>

Arms opened wide<\/p>

Living this moment<\/p>

Nature\u2019s the guide<\/p>

Bursts of colors<\/p>

All around<\/p>

Bursts of colors<\/p>

Not a sound<\/p>

Spinning round, round, round<\/p>

Round we go<\/p>

Traces of smoke<\/p>

Burning leaves<\/p>

Traces of smoke<\/p>

Trees grieve<\/p>

Spinning round, round, round<\/p>

Round we go<\/p>

What a show<\/p>

The best you\u2019ll ever know<\/p>

Ever know<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
