Inked Legacies

But words ain't just flowin' like they seem You tell me you're losin' your inspiring dream Then you know that a story inside is expiring And I can see that you're fighting your doubts Not that the muse has left, amidst the shouts I can see that you're riding the trials In the stillness, the quiet where thoughts resound Through the chapters and worlds that you've bound C. S. Lewis, with a pen in hand Spun tales of Narnia, a far-off land [Chorus] So keep on writin', through the pain and fear Your book's a journey, the destination's near When the ink runs dry, and the pages stay blank Just remember the Penderwicks' familial prank Their adventures, the heartaches, the laughter that blends It's all in the journey, with characters as friends Sometimes the pathway feels lonely and stark But with each word you're carving a mark Lost in the night (far in the night) Whispers of Bunnicula, dawn's early light Haunting the pages with tales untold Where vegetables quiver, and stories unfold [Verse 3] With a heart heavy laden, words tangled in gloom You light up the wick, chase the shadows from the room Recall the Boxcar Children's humble start Creating a world from the sum of their parts Unraveling mysteries from dawn until dusk In the warmth of their boxcar, through the twilight hush [Chorus] So keep on writin', let the story unfold Your narrative's precious like the rarest of gold Take a voyage now, Starship Enterprise course Kirk and Spock at the helm, with unstoppable force In your writer's mind, where the final frontier Is the vast universe of ideas so clear Ink-stained journeys with the Boxcar kin Finding solace in tales where wonders begin Pages turn (turn the page) Ink bleeds a dance, a gallant display Legends still breathe in the words we say Puss in Boots, a feline so sly With his sword and his boots, under inked sky Sonic runs through his chapters with speed
