Examples

 * "Gold On The Ceiling"**

Down in the waves She screams again Roar at the door My mind can’t take much more I could never drown in

They wanna get my… They wanna get my Gold on the ceiling I ain’t blind Just a matter of time Before you steal it It’s alright Ain’t no guard in my house

Clouds covered love's Barb-wired snare Strung up, strung out I just can’t go without I could never drown in

They wanna get my… They wanna get my Gold on the ceiling I ain’t blind Just a matter of time Before you steal it It’s alright Ain’t no guard in my house //[x2]// this is an example because it is an actual song to be sung and it expresses a personal message to the reader/listener


 * "The Wind"**

Oh, my God, I think I’m lost at sea These silent waves are my company And, I lost the line between the sky and sea I’m wondering will the wind ever come for me. Yeah.

‘Cause I don’t know, I don’t know where I am Can you tell me, will I break or will I bend? Will the wind ever come again?

I feel the sun coming up, rising from the east I see the empire falling to her knees I lost the line between her and me My troubles are gone if the wind ever comes for me. Yeah.

‘Cause I don’t know, I don’t know where I am Can you tell me, will I break or will I bend? Will the wind ever come again?

I dreamed I found the shoreline You’re standing there I dreamed I found you waiting. You were waiting for me, waiting for me.

I try to kiss the emptiness, I lost the line between the sky and sea I feel the sun coming up, coming up, coming up, coming up

And I don’t know, I don’t know where I am I will break or I will bend Will the wind ever come again?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

here is another example of a lyric poem it is another song and it expresses an emotion to the reader/listener

remember if it can be sung its lyrical
