Lyrics
SIMPLY AMAZING
Words and Music By Susan DeSousa
Now tell me who do you call?
You’re far away from it all
And you don’t know a soul
You’re up against the wall
Tell me who do you call?
Tell me who do you call?
When the pain is so great
Inside your brain oh, it aches
You just gotta escape
Before it gets too late
Tell me who do you call?
Well, sometimes in this world
You’ve got to go it alone
You’ve gotta know what to do when it’s all up to you
It’s amazing
What we learn in our lives
As we journey along through our struggles and strifes
You are a mighty one
You know more than you let on
You’ve learned some wonderful skills along the way
You’ve caught a tiger by the tail
You’ve beat all the odds your way
You are remarkable, you are incredible, you’re simply amazing
You’re simply amazing. You’re simply amazing.
(REPEAT THIS VERSE and end with You’re Simply Amazing x3).

Bio
My name is Susan DeSousa, AKA SukiTsuenami. I began playing guitar at age 6 and began Songwriting at age 12. My songs have always been focused on Social Consciousness and shedding light on the core of feelings that people don’t want to talk about. I believe songwriting gives a way to say what others want to share and say but feel stifled. I hope my words touch one person at some point.

Comments:
A nice lyric to help someone realise they’re amazing.
I think trying to use less perfect rhymes might make the lines feel less predictable. Near rhymes can open up lots more options.
