This song came to me as a sudden flash of inspiration on tuesday and I worked non-stop to finish it (not counting school or sleep of course)
It was one of those things that just need to get out as quickly as possible and I am quite pleased with the result.
It was also somewhat of an experiment because it has (lo and behold) lyrics attached to it... No, no singing from my part, I don't have a very good singing voice, but you can read along as the song plays I suppose

These Years

My life has never been an easy one
And I have lost so much more than I can count
I long have done the unforgivable
It's just as if I lost my ties with the ground

In my solitude I'm searching for answers
but I found nothing but pain
You stepped into my life and changed me forever
Just like a cleansing rain

In these 80 years I lived
I have seen the world's true face
And all I have experienced made me realize this haze
In these 80 years I lived
I have felt the hands of fate
But now everything is different, and I no longer hate
In these 80 years I lived
I have seen the world turn round
And I no longer am shackled, my wings are no longer bound
In these 80 years I lived
I have felt the hands of fate
And I need to learn to live with my new live that you create

I was sure that I had lost you
and yet I found a way to bring you back to life
For all these things that you give me
I will be thankful for all eternity

This is my new beginning
A tale of joyful rebirth
You broke through my isolation
and taught me my own life's worth

In these 80 years I lived
I have seen the world's true face
And all I have experienced made me realize this haze
In these 80 years I lived
I have felt the hands of fate
But now everything is different, and I no longer hate
In these 80 years I lived
I have seen the world turn round
And I no longer am shackled, and my wings no longer bound
In these 80 years I lived
I have felt the hands of fate
And I need to learn to live with my new live that you create

After all these years I lived
There is still much left to learn
And I finally will find that inner peace for which I yearn
After all these years I lived
I've become a bitter fool,
yet I finally have realized that this calm is mine to rule
After all these years I lived
my journey has been dark and cold
because no one lives forever and only few age to be old
After all these years I lived
I am one among the few
For the past has been forgotten and it's time to start anew
