Verse 1
Four in the morning
One quiet room
A cold cup of tea
Beneath the moon
Searching for words
That somehow belong
Waiting to find
One more song
Chorus
I’m looking for momentum
I’m looking for the flow
I’m looking for the words
That make a song just glow
I can hear the music
I can hear the sound
I can feel the beauty
Swirling all around
Verse 2
Half-finished verses
Scattered around
Chasing a feeling
More than a sound
One little spark
Starts to belong
Quietly growing
Into a song
Verse 3
Nobody watching
Nobody knows
How one small idea
Quietly grows
Line after line
Patient and long
One heart still hoping
This is the song
Chorus
I’m looking for momentum
I’m looking for the flow
I’m looking for the words
That make a song just glow
I can hear the music
I can hear the sound
I can feel the beauty
Swirling all around
Verse 4
Empty pages
Hour by hour
Yesterday’s magic
Has lost its power
Searching for something
Still doing wrong
Wondering softly
Where is this song?
Verse 5
Words keep escaping
Out of his hands
Nothing he’s writing
Quite understands
Chasing a shadow
All the night long
Hoping tomorrow
Will bring the song
Verse 6
Every new sentence
Falls to the floor
He’s been this way
So many times before
One quiet prayer
Before the dawn
Please let me find
One honest song
Final Chorus
I’m looking for momentum
I’m looking for the flow
I’m looking for the words
That make a song just glow
I can hear the music
I can hear the sound
I can feel the beauty
Swirling all around
Final Verse
Morning finds the window
The first birds softly sing
He reads the words before him
And smiles at everything
The song he’d searched for all night
Was waiting all along…
He’d finally finished writing…
The Songwriter’s Song.
