My words set to music by AI. Yikes! (Title: Gratitude Waves)

[Verse 1]

Tender footed first class,

Never seeing star light

Or the life of eagles

But the life of the master

Float across the stage of

Make believe romances

Baroness who dances in

The set builder’s eyes

[Pre-chorus]

Words never fit even what they are trying to say at

Invented by those who need them to fill up their lack

[Verse 2]

Simple strength of quiet fortitude

Crowning servitude

Ethic born of a Navy blue collar

Never asked permission

Of the man whose mission

Is to hold tradition up more loosely than love

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Gratitude waves crashing on the shoreline of sorrow

Levying back all the tears

All the todays make me hungry for more tomorrow

Adding to hope not to fears

[Verse 3]

Build a house or maybe

Build a home for baby

And a baby’s siblings

Home is wherever the heart is

Generations progress

Joyful heart reflection

The giver’s given shines in the giving back

[Bridge]

Wings of the Dawn glowing red warning 

Mercy’s kairotic passage to come

[Verse 4]

Half a cent to sixty

Rushing’s not your forte

Height and depth and length and breadth

The breath of a lifetime

Waiting for your room to be prepared

No need to be scared

Simply fall into His arms.
