A new song that I finished today. It’s called “Before Life Will Cut Me Down”.
The song is part of the “Exercises in Style” project: a cappella, american folk style.

Lyrics : Before Life Will Cut Me Down

Before life will cut me down
I sing for you while breath in me.
Before life will put me down
I cry with you while tears not dry.

A sound in the forest, steps on wet leaves,
The rain is talking to us.
We stop and listen to the waves,
And watch the colors of the air.

Before life will cut me down
I raise for you a glass of hope.
Before life will let me go
I pray for us to find again.

Grains of life and happiness,
I want to witness them with you,
With lows, and highs, and in between
We’ll live together one more bite.

Before life will cut me down
I sing for you while breath in me.
Before life will put me down
I cry with you while tears not dry.

I see the edge of my self,
The origin of fear so near.
I wipe out the human thought
To hold you close to my soul.

Before life will cut me down
I raise for you a glass of hope.
Before life will let me go
I pray for us to find again.

The wind penetrates my cloths,
My shirt too thin against the air.
Sharp bite of the cool breeze,
I hold you close in my arms.

Before life will cut me down
I say to you good night.
Before life will cut me down
I say to you good-bye.

Before Life Will Cut Me Down
