Time Will Fly: Romany, age 10

Romany from Queensland, Australia sent in this song complete with an audio file that she created. You'll hear Romany singing all the vocals and playing piano, too! Her 15 year old brother did the recording at home. I think it turned out great, don't you? I absolutely love the first line of this chorus..."Time will fly, and tears will dry"...how excellent is that? Congratulations, Romany...you wrote a hit song!

Time Will Fly
by Romany, age 10



Verse 1
I can see people living on the land
The rain won’t come so the rivers turn to sand
The cattle are starving and the crops are dying now

Pre-chorus
The farmers look to God and say how,
How will we get through this?

Chorus
Time will fly and tears will dry
The rain will fall, the grass will grow
The farmers then, will reap what they sow
Time will fly

Verse 2
I can see homes burning in the fire
The smoke and flames getting higher and higher
The horses are running, and the kids are crying now

Pre-chorus
The families look to God and say how,
How will we get through this?

Chorus
Time will fly and tears will dry
The rain will fall, the trees will grow
The families then will make their way home
Time will fly

Verse 3
I can see floods flowing over roads
The trucker’s sitting there wondering where to go
The clouds are black and heavy and the river’s rising now

Pre-chorus
The people look to God and say how,
How will we get through this?

Chorus
Time will fly and tears will dry
The roads will clear, the clouds will go
They’re happy now because they know
Time will fly

Time will fly and tears will dry
The roads will clear, the clouds will go
They’re happy now because they know
Time will fly, time will fly, time will fly.

Once Upon a Time: Chloe, age 10

Chloe from Renoldsburg, Ohio sent in this song (our second winner from Ohio...you guys are creative in that state!) Songwriters often use a traditional or common turn of phrase to make a song sound catchy and familiar...Chloe does this very nicely with the phrase "once upon a time." I also like her line "too real to be true." Congratulations, Chloe...you wrote a hit song!

Once Upon a Time
by Chloe, age 10

Once upon a time I forget my line and
Wished it never happened
Every dream, every once upon a time
You'll only find it way up high in the sky
Ohhh

Chorus
Once upon a time a dream will come true
Once upon a time a story will be told
Once upon a time true love comes
Too real to be true, yeah!

Once upon a time a dream will come true
Once upon a time a story will be told
Once upon a time true love comes
Too real to be true, yeah!

Don't think it will happen to you for real
Oh all you gotta do is hope, yeah
Just hope for the best, yeah

Chorus
Once upon a time a dream will come true
Once upon a time a story will be told
Once upon a time true love comes
Too real to be true, yeah!

Just dream once upon a time
And calm yourself down
Do it once upon a time

Someone Else: Lorenzo age 8

I received this song from Lorenzo in Westerville, Ohio. I especially like the line "Time to say goodbye to the before girl." It's a perfect, simple, catchy way to describe letting go of the past. Congratulations, Lorenzo...you wrote a hit song!

Someone Else
by Lorenzo, age 8

Someone else
My love you see, How can this be?
This girl who is she is a mystery.
I found a girl who understands me.
Time to say goodbye to the before girl.
Someone else out there,
Someone else out there.
Time to say goodbye to the before girl.
I know she said it.
She didn't care about me.
Someone else out there.
I know someone cares about me.
I know someone understands.
Don't cry. I'm here to comfort you.
Trying to make you the best you can be.
Don't you see?
Someone else out there.
I know someone's out there caring about me.
Someone else out there for me.
Someone. Someone. Someone else.
