Story Behind The Song

Hello, as with almost all the songs that I write, I put any lyrics in that sound like they nicely suit the melody and tone when the idea for the melody comes, then lyric the rest of the song when I have a clear theme from the initial lyrics. Stacy Hogan helped me finish off the song.

Lyrics

I tried to find my way in life
Chasing my dreams they're never out of sight
I left my town of New Orleans
In my brand new jeans, I'm ready for tonight

The moment is here, it's time to get it right
Nothing can stop me tonight

I'm not thinking bout yesterday
I live my life each and every day
Moving like a candle in the wind
I'm living real hard, but I won't burn out
There's plenty of time to find what life's about
Till then, I'm moving like a candle in the wind
Till then, I'm moving like a candle in the wind

I used to worry what others think
Hiding my dreams afraid to let them shine
But now I know it's up to me
To make my own way and leave those fears behind

The moment is here, it's time to get it right
Nothing can stop me tonight

I'm not thinking bout yesterday
I live my life each and every day
Moving like a candle in the wind
I'm living real hard, but I won't burn out
There's plenty of time to find what life's about
Till then, I'm moving like a candle in the wind
Till then, I'm moving like a candle in the wind

The tears used to run from my eyes
Like an ocean that never dries
Like a beach that has no tide
The tears kept falling from my face
I thought I'd never find my place
And now I wouldn't have it any other way

Because, I'm not thinking bout yesterday
I live my life each and every day
Moving like a candle in the wind
I'm living real hard, but I won't burn out
There's plenty of time to find what life's about
Till then, I'm moving like a candle in the wind
Till then, I'm moving like a candle in the wind

I'm moving like a candle in the wind
I'm moving like a candle in the wind
