Lyrics Winner

We had a real hard time picking a winner from all the great lyrics submitted - they were seriously awesome.

However we had to choose one…

Congrats to Rita W. who penned the following second verse…

See, we are in this race together
so how can one look farther when eyes wont chase sight
Rather, sedentary in settings where we settle with
lids shut tight, but if one sways one we could strum
our harps to the same rhythm, instead of pulling strings
like mannequins, Man it can be beyond the blind ballet
in the heart of the man in tin
We’d have a better connection hand in hand,
taking this load one step at a time
giving direction down this yellow brick road
we’re running in our minds

So lets imagine our old tattered shoes into
golden slippers, as we become the Artist
painting new hues over this discolored picture,
yesterday, framed as life
but before we click our heels
and chant our way home to the finish line,
we should heal those who can’t find
hope for the better, and remind
those eyes that can’t visualize
the beauty of being alive is that
WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER.

Congrats, Rita. One of Travie’s New Era Staying Alive caps is on it’s way to you!

    but great for you :)

  4. Mikey says:

    I’m a little upset that I only entered 8 bars. If I’d put down a whole 16 I’m sure I would’ve killed those. I guess fortune favors the overachiever…sure, I’m not bitter
