lyrics

HERE'S WHERE STING WOULD SING

VERSE 1

i'm not selfish by nature

I fear this world wants me to be

don’t want to compete with guys

with slicked back hair and shifty eyes,

no, that's not me

I wanted to live out in the country

i always found it peaceful there

but city life is calling me and

all this new technology

its taunting me it wants me to be there

PRECHORUS

if my dreams were real

I'll tell you how i'd feel

I'd be sure that nothing in this world could stop me

my life would make some sense

I'd step over the fence

and just as soon as I'd stop singing

CHORUS

Here's where Sting would sing.

If I was somebody

Here's where Sting would sing.

and I would be your hero.

VERSE 2

It's probably futile to wish upon a star

here i’m singing at this same old bar

playing for drunks for free I live my mediocrity

that’s the life for me

PRECHORUS

I'm nothing in this world

I've got nothing for a girl

no Wikipedia page has much to say about me.

I’ve got to make my mark

but I'm stabbing in the dark

I'm broke and I know everybody's laughing at me.

CHORUS

But here's where Sting would sing.

If I was somebody

Here's where Sting would sing.

If anybody knew me

BRIDGE

He’d say

“everything is destiny

all will flow accordingly

what you're gonna give is what you get.

life’s gone for centuries

your soul goes on eternally

slip into the timelessness of bliss.

Natures child is who you are

taming fire from a star

take your time and let it come out right

this is what the scriptures say

so live your life out every day

you will find the answers that you seek
