Rebels out for glory

Welcome home!

It's time for all of us here
To have some fun in the sun
With all of our peers

Write a song
Then share it to the rest of the crowd
Let's have a talk after dark
And discuss what we sound

There's plenty of room
For a whole bunch of tunes
They may not be the best
But I'm sure they will do

Because it isn't about the prize
If you know the whole story

We're only rebels out for glory

---

So what'd you think?
If this has been your first time with us
I hope you'll stay and relay
In our musical bus

Tap your feet
And listen to the rhythms of songs
Don't mind the heat as we compete
And the beat travels on

And if you don't pass the round,
Then don't feel down.
You can still release a shadow
For the rest of us now.

Because it isn't about the prize
And you've yet to tell your story

We're only rebels out for glory

-----

Sometimes it hurts
To hear when a friend feels burned
Some would say it's all a game
Until someone gets hurt

But if you wait,
Like any game, you'll soon have your turn
So don't give up, try again,
Show us all what you've learned

From your lungs to your lips
At your firm fingertips
Your shadow could surround us
Like a solar eclipse

And as these bodies of light combine
I begin to see the story

We're only rebels out for glory
(we're only rebels out for glory)


Reflected Glory

I’ve always been someone
Who’s longed for my day in the sun
My chance to shine for all the world to see
Though I tried to fly alone
I can’t shine here on my own
I need your light so I can have
Reflected glory

When you shine over me
In the night I would light your dreams
And just be happy, I can share the sky with you
Don’t need to glow when it is day
I find I just get in the way
And when I do the only thing they see is you

I’ve always been someone who was lesser,
Hoping to be seen
Trying hard to please
My emotions can rise and flow
Like tides in the sea
Sometimes I want to hide
Sometimes I want to shine
I have learned that I shine best
By your reflected glory

(And just be happy I can share the sky with you)
