Chapter 5: Who I Am Inside
Renji's ballad for the competition.
Who I am Inside
A Spunky Original Song for the Fanfic!
(Okay, for those curious about the song Byakuya sang (in Renji's body, of course), here is something I hope you will enjoy. I am a fiction writer, not a lyrist, but when readers ask me for something, I do my level best to deliver!)
Heaven isn't just a word or place
It's in the loving smile that's on your face
In every step we take, side by side
We may not always walk in light of day
But together, we can find our way
All we need to get there is just time
Don't let the darkness wear you down
When you need love I'll come around
All I need to know is that you're mine
XXXXXXXXXX
Stay (a little longer)
Help me (to grow stronger)
Tell me (what we feel will never die)
Show me (love is tender)
The heart's (sweet surrender)
You're (the only one who sees inside)
Who I am inside
XXXXXXXXXX
Dirty paths we ran down
Friends we've put into that hollow ground
Tears they made us give away
Hearts that were shattered
Dreams we left scattered
Words no one hears, no one can say
But don't let that weight tear you apart
You've always had the stronger heart
We can survive if you just stay
XXXXXXXXXX
Stay (a little longer)
Help me (to grow stronger)
Tell me (what we feel will never die)
Show me (love is tender)
The heart's (sweet surrender)
You're (the only one who sees inside)
Who I am inside
XXXXXXXXXX
Bridge…if this was actually set to music, which I can't do, because I have no talent for it! But you have a good imagination and can imagine lovely solo on electric guitars with sweet backing vocals or something equally pleasant
XXXXXXXXXX
Tomorrow isn't just another day
It's another step along our way
Out of this place to the other side
No more angry words and useless rage
We've found the light and we've turned the page
Built upon our tears, our love, our pride
Remember that I'm always there for you
And when the rain comes down, it takes two
To feed the love that's never died
XXXXXXXXXX
Stay (here with me forever)
Help me ('cause you never)
Tell me (to give up the things I hide)
Show me (love so tender)
The heart's (I surrender)
You're (the one I'll trust to see inside)
Who I am inside
Who I am inside…
Who I am inside…
Who I am inside.
