Song of Life

I am a man in small town called Star
Who loves to play his famous guitar
Some would say my music went too far
Maybe I played in too many stadiums or bars

Music is everything, anywhere I went
From a small town of Ida to the large city of Kent
To some, my music was considered a bit unusual, a bit bent
Others tried before me, could not make a cent

Chorus
Sing it out loud
Stay clear of the clouds
Hear the crowds
Sing from the heart, I take a bow

In the beginning, I tried to make music, good, just right
Did not seem easy, more like a fight
But to stop is wrong, to continue, is seeing the light
Now I must continue on, never to lose sight

Now, after hard work, there is nothing but the stage
Since the early years, I have been kept in a cage
Reviews come and go, used as my gauge
It’s a new life now, new rifts and a new page

Chorus
Sing it out loud
Stay clear of the clouds
Hear the crowds
Sing from the heart, I take a bow

It used to be, I let things pass me by
Time to reflect, and ask why
Times seem low and now I am high
Life can be full or empty before you say bye

The music I play, before thousands at night
I have to keep my music strong; I see so many candle lights
And keep my songs of life, never lose sight
Beautiful thoughts happen; my heart will soar, this is so right




Chorus
Sing it out loud
Stay clear of the clouds
Hear the crowds
Sing from the heart, I take a bow

So now you know, things can be
What a guitar player can do and see
Soon, I will be with my Marie
And sit in peace near in my small home, near the sea

I will pass my talents to another for sure
And try to keep the music good and pure
Some would listen and say my music is obscure
With an answer, no doubt, there is a lure

Roads are long and wide for the guitar fan
As I write, take as much as I can
Or as much as I can stand
For the road is life, with or without the band





Chorus
Sing it out loud
Stay clear of the clouds
Hear the crowds
Sing from the heart, I take a bow

Chorus
Sing it out loud
Stay clear of the clouds
Hear the crowds
Sing from the heart, I take a bow

Chorus
Sing it out loud
Stay clear of the clouds
Hear the crowds
Sing from the heart, I take a bow

What music genre, and approx year would help.

Any other info is always appreciated.

You've gone and spoilt it now.

I was having a little fun with the poster, and was wondering what their response was going to be.

Sorry, but I was not really in the mood for silly jokes when I posted.
Plus, I did not realise you were "just playing." I actually (!) thought you had mistaken his lyrics "contribution" for an ID request.

Yet you were in a catch-22: spilling all the beans beforehand would have spoilt too much of it all

I believe these lyrics can be used in Rock or Indie genre and year is current year. Thank you for your response and if there is anything else you would like to know. I do think these lyrics would serve as a good ballad as well.

I am new to this website so tried to submit to forun to submit but can try to submit now. Thank you for your responses.
