I turn to you

Skirmish: I Turn To You (@s7even)Liner Notes
I liked this prompt and came up with. this...
Lyrics
When things were tough and I was feeling down I turned to you, like some comfortable shoes And I gave thanks, as I papered over the cracks But it didn’t last and I didn’t move on And so I listened instead to some sad songs
And the funny thing was they didn’t make me sad They made me realise the good things I had So I listened to all the heartache poured out And I wondered why I was ever in doubt It’s funny sometimes how we look at the world
The power of the mind is a wondrous thing It can raise you up, make a pauper a king The power of the mind is an incredible thing It can reverse the scorpion’s sting The power of the mind, when thoughts are refined
I turn to you, I turn to you, I turn to you

I found myself thinking of a further metaphor of your shoes idea...maybe turning to someone while wearing comfortable shoes with a practiced step or perhaps a gentle dancing movement.
Nice work, wonderfully written and wonderfully played. Like the harmony. Really cool take on the prompt. Well done
Wow, two great entries to the skirmish. Loving both of them. Great harmonies on this one.
