After all
of my drafting I was watching American Idol set in Southern America which
included many country artists, country singing is soulful and is generally easy
to write.
All of
the problems which I wanted to write
about I listed and made them into a list and used them to form my pre-choruses
which addressed the problems of the world. The chorus was to be an
inspirational message to listeners and the bridge was a change in vocal style -
with a gospel choir layering of voices (working together) which gave my
perspective on what the future would be like.

I managed
to write the first verse and pre-chorus which I could then use as format for
the rest of my song. When I first wrote I was humming tunelessly but I made an
initial recording once I spent a long time practicing different sounds and
establishing what tone and accent (I wanted it to be country but it was
difficult for me to sing with a strong southern American accent) I was going to
use.
When I
was younger,
I built a
castle,A group of hopes and dreams all crafted from the sand,
Of course crumbled down, oooo down,
Now I think to myself o, about that land,
No wars,
no sadness, no people dying or crying or lost in the madness,
No
droughts, no floods of tears, because the world is together and together is
here, honey,
My first
initial recording is inserted here:
