As promised, here's a song of a different genre than the first. A genre I've loved since I heard Chick Corea's Romantic Warrior album so long ago!! Nope I can't play like him, so my keyboards are not nearly as complex and I fixed the errors and even wrote some phrases in the midi editor (because I'm a guitar player more than a piano player!!), but I love to try to write music in that general style.

Hope is a Flame by Gary Ray Knowland

The sun is sinking low, painted skies unfold. Every step feels heavy, stories left untold. I drag my shadow, across this weary road... such a heavy load, It's a heavy load

The night whispers secrets, a lullaby of stars. The planets sing to me, jupiter, and mars. My hope is burning, hoping as I might. For a dawn that brings new light, Give me a dawn that brings new light.

Hope is a flame, keep it burning on. Through the darkest night, till the break of dawn. When the world feels heavy, hope falls from the skies. Hope is a flame, a flame that never dies.

The moon shines down on me, a beacon from above And guides my weary soul, as gentle as a dove. And as the night grows old, I'm praying faithfully, That my hopes will set me free

Hope is to blame for sunny skies Hope is a flame that never dies Hope makes it worth another try Hope is a flame that never dies

Hope is a flame, keep it burning on. Through the darkest night, till the break of dawn. When the world feels heavy, hope falls from the skies. Hope is a flame, a flame that never dies.
