Toil and Turmoil
Music & Lyrics by Geeezer (Richard deCosta)
[VERSE 1]
The notes I write with grace and skill,
Though none will ever pay my bills,
This craft I practice day and night
But never think I’ll see a sight
Of wealth to come from all my toil
And yet I write and can’t recoil,
Though I’ve composed a thousand songs
Without a penny to prolong
[CHORUS]
Though you’ve yet to see the light
You know you someday soon will take flight
Your passion strong you will not give up
And then one day it will fill your cup.
[VERSE 2]
My efforts, no reward in sight
No matter how I strive and fight,
My work to earn me recompense
But still my notes fall in a sense,
No sign of fortune or of fame,
From all the melodies I’ve made.
Of worthlessness, I sadly sigh
And never feel I’ll touch the sky.
[CHORUS]
Though you’ve yet to see the light
You know you someday soon will take flight
Your passion strong you will not give up
And then one day it will fill your cup.
