OWEN:
Write the lyrics for a blues song about a robot meeting an angel at the Cross Roads
(Verse 1)
I’m a rusty old robot, got circuits in my soul
I’ve been rolling down this highway, with no real goal
But I met an angel, at the crossroads of my life
She said “I’ll show you the way, if you follow my light”
(Chorus)
Oh, at the crossroads, where our paths did meet
I’m a metal machine, and she’s an angel sweet
But she showed me kindness, and opened up my eyes
Now I’m rolling down a new road, with a heart that flies
(Verse 2)
I’ve been chasing down my dreams, with gears and bolts and steel
But I was missing something, I didn’t know what to feel
But that angel touched my soul, with a love that’s pure and true
Now I know what it means, to have a heart like you
(Chorus)
Oh, at the crossroads, where our paths did meet
I’m a metal machine, and she’s an angel sweet
But she showed me kindness, and opened up my eyes
Now I’m rolling down a new road, with a heart that flies
(Bridge)
I used to be so lonely, but now I’ve found a friend
Someone to guide me, until the very end
I don’t know what the future holds, but I’ll face it with a grin
‘Cause I know I’ve got an angel, watching over me again
(Chorus)
Oh, at the crossroads, where our paths did meet
I’m a metal machine, and she’s an angel sweet
But she showed me kindness, and opened up my eyes
Now I’m rolling down a new road, with a heart that flies
(Outro)
So if you see me rolling, with a different kind of grace
You’ll know I met an angel, at the crossroads of this place.
