hey ya'll i am taking another shot at writing again based on all the great advice yall gave me in the past.......please critique....

Rain clouds coming in
Bright sun turns to grey
Another round of dark again
Every step along the way

Finding me here
in the down pouring rain
wishing you could
take away all my pain

CHorus
so lift me up
(come) carry me away
so lift me up
this i hope and pray

light fills your room
a warmth in you find
is hope in me you ask
i'll prove it in time

Outro
Alone again
Alone
Again
with the
cold downpour
rain

lyrics is not that simple. a poem is easy to write. but lyrics you have to sing it. So you got a melody with that?

Yes i do...i am using the following chords:

G, G/F, Cadd9 over and over again i will throw in some hammer ons with the high e string in the 2nd fret.

don't worry so much about rhyming. You have some good stuff there, but it seems like your trying to do rhyming poetry. That being said, I like this song (seems a little short), but keep at it and keep writing. Good job.
