One of my first experiments with AI music. I set the lyrical prompts and stylistic parameters, hit the button and got two tunes built on the same lyric. I chose this one to use and develop, tweaking the lyrics a tad. I’m a premium Suno member, so I retain the rights to this song and performance.

The inspiration for this tune is a pesky little health issue I’ve been dealing with for several months now. I may or may not write more about it in the future… though I have been thinking lately I should take creating content more seriously. Have started playing guitar again, for one thing. What do you think?

LYRICS

[Verse]
Woke up to a battle I never chose
The mirror reflects what the chemo shows
But there’s steel in my soul and fire in my veins
Through every tear I’ll face this pain

[Verse 2]
The doctors talk in words I can’t control
Like storms carving rivers into my soul
But I still see sunsets and hear the rain
I’m holding tight while I’m still sane

[Chorus]
Oh God I’m down here on my knees
Through the struggle through every please
Lord grant me strength to face the fight
And lead me through the darkest night

[Verse 3]
Scarred and changed but I’m still me
Every wound’s a chapter every bruise a plea
Each prayer is a flame that won’t go dim
I walk on faith when the path grows grim

[Bridge]
Not asking why not cursing the sky
I’m learning to smile as the moments fly
It’s hope that feeds this healing fire
A song of faith lifting me higher

[Chorus]
Oh God I’m down here on my knees
Through the struggle through every please
Lord grant me strength to face the fight
And lead me through the darkest night
