Sinking Ships

Turns out that my song was used in a youtube video that has over a million views not including the ones that are just the song itself. I didn't learn about it for about a week when I listened closely.

Okay,

The world presents some problems,

and you don't know what to do.

You've come to see your feelings aren't exactly what you knew.

The odds are stacked quite poorly,

and without a winning hand.

But bear in mind,

your bearings are only worse if you don't

chin up, don't plan on sinking ships,

because they'll turn your ships to trash.

you've got to set your sights on hopes of not to crash,

the truth can seem bleak,

if you don't make your plans unfurl.

I would not let that far,

or my opinion of the...

The fact is that if you could fix the feelings of the current paradine,

we would have a hero who's both illusive and unkind,

just one time.

And then we would all contrive new conflict,

so just chin up,

don't plan on sinking ships because they'll turn you ships to trash.

You've got to set your sights on hoping not to crash,

the truth can seem bleak,

if you don't make your plans unfurl.

But I would not let that far,

or my opinion of the world.

"So this coming from a person who's spent the last three months mopping."

"Well, they let me take time off work for my emotional recovery. So..."

"That is completely appalling."

"Well, I do feel badly, and my job sucks. Look, I'm not saying to follow your heart or something dumb like that..."

Just chin up,

don't plan on sinking ships,

because they'll turn your ships to trash.

You've got to set your sights on hoping not to crash,

the truth can seem bleak,

if you don't make your plans unfurl.

But I would not let that far,

or my opinion of the...

Stipulations placed before you,

to get all the things you really need,

Mr. Big may make it hard,

but you have got to plant your seeds.

Go to war,

fight more,

your dreams thrive by competition.

You'll find that no one famous

ever got there just by flinching at their foes,

cling against the torment,

claw with all your might and what you know.

Don't let go,

just grow,

don't wait or play to end decisions.

Chin up,

don't plan on sinking ships,

because you've got to be more grand.

You've got think ahead,

and carry out your plans.

The truth can be of use,

when you can see,

we're all to blame.

Don't quit on hopes or dreams,

when you've simply got to,

chin up.

Don't plan on sinking ships,

because they'll only drag you down,

you have got to keep on sailing on even when you want to frown.

Because the world will keep on turning 'round,

no matter where you land,

you might as well keep running when your feet hit the sand.

"Okay, so what your saying, is that the world is going to screw us left and right anyway, so we may as well screw it right back?"

"No, I'm saying that the world is a hard place, and that if you ever need a leg up, then I can be there, but I think that you'll be okay as long as you just keep on trying new strategies. But really, I just want you to..."

Chin up,

don't plan on sinking ships,

because you've got to be more grand.

You've got think ahead,

and carry out the things you planed.

The truth can be of use,

when you can see,

we're all to blame.

Don't quit on your hopes or dreams,

don't plan on sinking ships,

because they'll only drag you down,

you've got the means to live and needs merely to be found.

Tyr managed to sink many of my ships in the tub I remember. :) But - I see what you are saying here. Live positively and keep at the wheel. Don't let your ships sink.

You mentioned your song was used in a video, do they have the rights for that ?

[Lily]

I never copy right, nor do I particularly care, it's their video. Not much I'm worried about. A lot of my work is put in videos.

[dw817]

Is there a Youtube Video URL link ?

[Lily]

No, just look up rainbow dash presents bittersweet. Another fan made thing. But, don't bother yourself, it's their video, and I just like writing, if it gets used, then I'm happy.

[dw817]

Bunch of bronies it looks like. Ah well, hang in there then. :)

[Lily]

Yup, I've seemed to have acquired a fan base.

Turns out that my song has been used in a very popular video, the video, without all of the videos that have just the song or a reaction video, has somewhere around 1300000 views. Yay.
