What's up, I posted a song here a year ago but didn't get any feedback, hopefully I get some this time around.
This is a song I wrote for one of my best friend's wedding. It's about the mixed emotions, ranging from fear, doubt and ultimately joy, of a young couple approaching their Wedding Day. I made the beat too. Lyrics below.

Journey
[Verse 1]
Sitting with my whole life ahead of me
24, I'm already ready to write the rest of it
Such a commitment to make at any age
Much even greater when they say that many fail
It's daunting, the pressure is building up
And it's specially getting tough with the dread of splitting, plus
Many of the guys, tell me to try
A slice of every pie, but in my eyes that's a heavy lie
And in my heart of hearts I know I'm right
Seven years by my side, that is clear she's my bride
Or am I just, convincing my self
That's the Devil in my ear, just messing with my head
'Cause to me, when you know then you just do
But there's only a few folks who think it's true
You and I, two souls meant to fuse
You and I, a new road meant for two
[Chorus]
So come walk with me, to greener pasture
I don't ever see, being without ya'
You were meant for me, so from here and after
I ain't going on alone so please
Follow me, come take my hand so we can
Walk right down this Journey
Follow me, until the end
And we'll walk right down this Journey
[Verse 2]
The day with The Big Dress: a little girl's dream
More than tale of a princess, it means the world to me
Such a commitment I've waited to make for days
Nothing is greater than embracing your love this way
Surely I've heard the: "It's too early"
Mommy told me to tie the knot with somebody that's worthy to be
The father of my daughter or the father of my son
I'm pouring out my heart in this, he ought to be the one
But with all the magazines and the stories that you read
From women that you meet or when your friend's been deceived
Hard not to believe that every men lie and cheat
But somehow somewhere deep I know this ain't applying to me
It' something special, such a blessing, see
Call it luck or destiny, but regardless to me
I'm so proud to have landed such a man and a friend
And now is the beginning of plan 'til the end
[Chorus]
So come walk with me, to greener pasture
I don't ever see, being without ya'
You were meant for me, so from here and after
I ain't going on alone so please
Follow me, come take my hand so we can
Walk right down this Journey
Follow me, until the end
And we'll walk right down this Journey
[Verse 3]
Now, here's my message to ya'
Listen to yourselves and no one else, 'cause that's what is love
I'mma be honest, I hardly know a thing about it,
But when I look at you, I think I got it
You alone have a say in how the story develops
Don't be like one of the people who chose to let up
I wish it works forever, this is for worst or better
So when it's storm and rainy weather, think how long you've stayed together
'Cause it's no Journey, without a share of twists and turns
'Cause really, that's what marriage is for sure
But what's a fight here and there in a whole life of joy
When stuff go down, just work it out 'cause no one likes divorce
And I know it's probably obvious, but I hope it got you conscious
To be grateful 'cause most people don't get to find this
Bond, this fondness for each other, two consummate lovers
I dedicate this poem, doing this song was my honor
And my final word is, I wish you the best
'Cause you highly deserve it, this I can bet
Ready for the ride? Guess that's the case
So for one last time look at each other and say
[Chorus]
So come walk with me, to greener pasture
I don't ever see, being without ya'
You were meant for me, so from here and after
I ain't going on alone so please
Follow me, come take my hand so we can
Walk right down this Journey
Follow me, until the end
And we'll walk right down this Journey
