Starlin waited backstage, she enjoyed the other music immensity, but as their time grew closer she got more and more nervous. this was a new song, and they hadn't practiced nearly enough, but this was the song she knew she should play.
Please don't let me mess this up Starlin prayed quietly as the people before her band finished.
With a deep breath and a smile she and her band walked on stage. "hey everyone, how are you all doing today!" Andrew called into the mike. the crowed yelled back. "Good, this is a song called Trail of Tears. I hope you enjoy."
Andrew stepped back and Starlin started to play on the piano, it was an eerie like sound going up and down the scale. but soon Andrew broke in with his guitar and Starlin was right behind on her bass. Eric the drummer started a beat with a smile, he was also the backup singer.
This the trail, of a thousand of tears that I have cried.
Cause I have failed, at every attempt that I have tried
To get out, of this box I’m living inside
Waves of doubt, rush in just like the oceans tide
(echo)The oceans tide
I know it’s time
(echo)I know it’s time
To grab a hold, of one last breath, before I go under,
I’m sinking deeper inside myself, beneath these uncried tears
I let it out, I let it go, dropping all I have to follow
I lift my eyes, to the skies, and for the first time in my life
I see hope, I see truth, forgiven this and healing wounds
I step in faith, and will not wait, for tomorrow is to late
Andrew stepped back from the mike for his guitar solo, Starlin grinned as she watched him. he had come a long way. Soon Andrew stepped back.
This is the trail, of the blood my savior has bleed,
I hold the nail, I pierced your hands, now mine are red
As I fall down, I see I cut you deeper my King
Now all around, guilt creeps in, to sweep me off my feet
And all I need
To grab a hold, of one last breath, before I go under,
I’m sinking deeper inside myself, beneath these uncried tears
I let it out, I let it go, dropping all I have to follow
I lift my eyes, to the skies, and for the first time in my life
I see hope, I see truth, forgiven this and healing wounds
I step in faith, and will not wait, for tomorrow is to late
For the next part Eric starting singing "I let it out", again while Andrew sang "I can jump.."
I can jump, in the river of fear or of love | I let it out, I let it go, dropping all I have to follow
And I will jump in the sea of guilt or of blood | I lift my eyes, to the skies, and for the first time in my life
And can kneel in, the guilt of hope or of fear | I see hope, I see truth, forgiven this and healing wounds
And I will follow, my savior or my tranquility | I step in faith, and will not wait, for tomorrow is to late
(scream) Trail of tears
I let it out, I let it go, dropping all I have to follow
I lift my eyes, to the skies, and for the first time in my life
I see hope, I see truth, forgiven this and healing wounds
I step in faith, and will not wait, for tomorrow is to late
Starlin grinned as the crowd applauded, she breathed a quiet prayer as she and her band left the stage. it had gone very well.
