Steemit Open mic Week 125 : Can't Complain/Ballad of the Mars Rover(original)
Happy Full Moon Steemit!
This week, my song was written for a songwriter's challenge that we have been doing at our open mic in Minneapolis.
This week's phrase was 'can't complain.'
I wrote the song from the perspective of the Mars rover 'Opportunity' in it's final days.
Full lyrics:
I've seen the moons as they danced over
I had quite a view when I was young
In my day I was a handsome rover
And as the dust settles o'er my eyes
I have to say
That I can't complain
I hope we've met our expectations
Me and my kin so far from home
I've so enjoyed our communications
And as the dust settles o'er my eyes
I have to say
That I can't complain
As I roll into the lonesome valley
In my core I know I'm not alone
The makers speak my name at my grand finale
And as the dust settles o'er my eyes
I have to say
That I can't complain
As the dust settles o'er my eyes
and it's getting dark outside
I can't complain
