I remember the tune

Under the midnight moon

The small town girl

She lived in that lonely world…

♫ ♬♪  

And the music moved

How his journey proved

To that one city boy

Who’d come from South Detroit…

♫ ♬♪  

When the world comes in

Some lose and some win

I won’t stop believin

Must find a place to achieve in

Somewhere in the night…

♫ ♬♪  

Strangers wander up and down

That friendless boulevard in town

Those streetlight people roam

Cast their last dice for home…

♫ ♬♪  

Want to share that smile

See others brightened awhile

Been working hard to get my fill

Doesn’t everybody want that thrill?

♫ ♬♪  

When the world comes in

Some lose and some win

I won’t stop believin

Must find a place to achieve in

Somewhere in the night…

♫ ♬♪  

Oh, that movie never ends

It just goes on and on my friends…

♫ ♬♪

... beautifully written, Craig ... what a song ... so inspirational ... and so earnest ... the risk with writing something like this is that it could go over the top ... but you spin a magic song here ... amazingly well done ... liked these lines a lot ...

When the world comes in
Some lose and some win
I won’t stop believin
Must find a place to achieve in
Somewhere in the night…

[emmajoy]

Lovely song and words from you to match. Thank you.

[Wicahpi]

Love Journey, Love that song.

[The Analog Kid]

Real cool embellishment of the lyrics. The sheet music of the intro adds a nice touch. I love the sound of the piano with the chorus in the intro. I am really getting into spinning off poems from music. Sometimes I do the opposite and just match a song with the poem.

Check out my poem from last year, "The Cabin." I used this song as a time-stamp:) My all time favorite Journey song!

[J Carly]

This is amazing, Craig. This has got to be my favorite Journey song. And you've done very well with your poem. It has great flow, and works perfectly with the song, adding enough of yourself to make it original. Bravo, my friend. I hope you do well in the contest!

[Jenny Nelson]

Very nice! Uplifting. Love Journey myself. Hope you do well in the contest; you wrote a great poem with this great song.
