The Gift Of Writing Songs

The Gift Of Writing Songs

By Paul McCann

For 40 years or more I’ve been writing songs ,
walking around from place to place ,

leaving footsteps in the sand
lifted above things I could not understand
as things don’t always go to plan.

For 40 years or more , been searching my soul ,
secrets I’ve found , others were told
I’ve shared some with young and old
but there are many that I hold deep within   
in my spirit underneath the skin .

The spirit within me is deep as the sea

It’s a river running free

It’s a bird up in the sky

It’s a land that is fertile and sometimes dry

The property of God on high .

For 40 years or more I’ve found songs out there

On the street , on a beach ,somewhere

It’s a gift so rich and rare
and it was given to me from God above

With my first album There’s Never Enough Love .
