Week of June 2nd Prompt

Write a song! You don't have to be a musician to write lyrics, you know.


Word limit: I looked up the average word count for a song and it said that the average word count in the 1960s was 176, and during the past year it was 436. I really think it depends on the person, and the style of music. I listen to alot of 60s music and my word count was 166. I'll leave this up to your judgement. (Rescorce here.)
Other limits: Don't copy a poem and set it to music, write your own poem
Extra Challenges: 1- Relate it to standing up for something you believe in, or not standing up for something you don't believe in. 2- Write music for it!


Here is my song, I wish I could post the music because that's where it really started, but I don't want anybody to steal it.


‘I won’t Stand’ by Page Ashleigh (me)

I won’t stand for a world
That decides not to stand for each other
I won’t stand for a world
That will not stand up to its problems
I won’t stand for a world
That decides not to stand for each other

When the rain comes down
And the stars won’t shine
I will still refuse to stand

Oh, I won’t stand for a world
I won’t stand for a world
Where you’re not allowed to love
I won’t stand
I won’t stand for that world

I won’t stand for a world
No I won’t
No I won’t
No I won’t
I won’t stand for a world
That refuses to acknowledge our cries

I won’t stand
