Songwriting Contest

I posted my song here Angie for our members that will hopefully show up soon.

I finished recording my song for the American Idol Songwriting contest. I was wondering if anybody else entered?
If I ever had a problem and was stuck with the music part I had my sister, Jodie, help.


Here are the lyrics to the song I entered tell me what you think. Idol Material? Or Not? You tell me.

I Rise Again

I was down
I didn't care
I messed up more than my share
You picked me up
And you whispered clear
You said that you loved me
And that I'd rise again

(chorus)
I've been broken
And I've been bent
I see your face
I smile again
I've walked sideways down a crooked road
I see your face yeah
And I rise again

I was cryin' all alone
Then you came runnin'
You were the one
You give me strength
More than I've ever had
You said that you loved me
And that I'd rise again
(chorus)

I've known hunger
And I've known pain
I've lost somebody
Yet I can't complain
'Cause I've been given
All that I need
And with your lovin'
I will rise again
(chorus)

I've walked sideways

Down a crooked road

I see your face yeah

And I rise again

So what do you think? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Go ahead and tell me your thoughts, good or bad. I can send anyone the mp3 if they want to hear the music part.
