Song A Song is an expression of a poet's personal emotions, meant to be sung. Lyrics in a song contain verses (lines that make up a song; sung poem) and a chorus (a repeating verse in a song (refrain).
Example: Empty Wishing Well
You say your eyes are a wishing well And the future you can tell You asked me what is my sign I said Scorpio was mine You told me that astrology Had to do with cosmic harmony You read divining signs to see what's up And the tea leaves in your cup
(Chorus) But If you're so psychic, why couldn't you tell? Where was your warning when you fell... Into your empty wishing well
You crossed the gypsies palm with gold Then you had her read me the Tarot I watched you cast the rune stones And then you tossed the bones You looked into your crystal ball Then you turned over the eight-ball You told me that your clairvoyance Is good for problem avoidance
(Chorus) But If you're so psychic, why couldn't you tell? Where was your warning when you fell... Into your empty wishing well?
You say your souls like a lotus flower And you believe in pyramid power You found your way through the shaman's drum And through the words of the chosen one All your past lives you say you can see But your present life's a mystery Aren't you afraid you'll fade Into a Mercury retrograde?
(Chorus) But If you're so psychic, why couldn't you tell? Where was your warning when you fell... Into your empty wishing well
