    For Granted

    it's the story they've warned us about since the beginning of time you can be born rich then die without a penny to your name and just because you worked hard doesn't mean you can't lose it all you can swear you're sound of mind but...

    • And you are right…Nothing is guaranteed in life. Powerful piece. Nice work.

      • Definitely. I wrote this a year or so ago after my uncle died. He was a man that worked all his life. Was someone that was financially stable, and overnight got dementia and lost everything. Didn’t even have a penny to his name when he died. Just made a lot of bad decisions and was stubborn when it came to preparing for tragedy.

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Yes ,this sound advice. No one is promised anything so you should be happy for the now.

    • Brilliantly penned, Nick. This is an incredible write my friend, and all very true. To quote David Lee Roth: ” There’s not much distance between a pat on the back, and a kick in the pants!” Appreciate you.

    • We only get one shot for all we know so might as well do our best to enjoy each day of peace.

      Thanks so much for the read, friend.

    • Can’t take for granted the privilege we get even if there are daily struggles.

      Thanks for the read, friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. That was a good line, I had so many though in this one. One of my all time favorites I ever penned. Appreciate you.

    • So glad to see a familiar face, loved your work on DU

    • Your a great poet/lyricist. Nice work here Damian.

    • Damian, I sense nuances of a spiritual battle. This made me think. I love this.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. There was in a sense, the inner conflict that goes on inside my head. The proverbial devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. Good vs. Evil, Light vs. dark, etc. I think we all have a spiritual battle going on inside, as well as in the world. That’s just my opinion though. Appreciate you.

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That was a belief of mine when I wrote a lot of my lyrics, I always wanted a glimmer of hope to hold on to. Appreciate you.

    • Could see this being a kick ass song. Great ink

    • I swear, you’re able to write in a way that it’s like you’re writing my thoughts or feelings. There’s an undercurrent of spiritual searching in this that I think could be a finding of self. Which is about the deepest of spiritual journeys we can undertake. It feels brooding but with light glimmering through it. Truly gifted you are, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with these lyrics my friend. I told you, we’re kindred spirits, we think and feel very similar on a lot of issues. It was spiritual, I was always searching for my identity, I knew I didn’t know everything at that time. Mistakes would be made, but I wanted to understand why humans hurt each other, why I got bullied in school, I wanted answers. And not some flimsy excuse being substituted for truth. I always instinctively would put glimmers of light in my lyrics, because deep down I still tried to have hope. It’s really hard to do since I’m pessimistic by nature. lol. This was the one song I thought could have been a hit. I mean big hit, gives me goosebumps good. Joey G, always called this song, “The Ace Up His Sleeve” hit. If needed he’d always say. Had a little Lindsey Buckingham vibe. Personally, I’ve grown to believe over time that it was a carrot to dangle. That was deep… Thank you for such an awesome compliment. Appreciate you.

    • Beautifully penned, Cipher. A great tribute to Mr. Wilson. The heart and soul of, The Beach Boys. Much like, Terry Kath, was the heart and soul of the band Chicago. Neither band was quite the same without them. R.I.P. Brian Wilson. Appreciate you.
