Songwriting Skillz

I've written quite a few songs over the years. Most of them I'm not too embarrassed about writing. I even proposed to my wife via original song. (It was a darn good song, if I may say so myself.) Some of my own lyrics continue to resonate in my head... lyrics such as:

- "It's clear that you are all I need, so why do I strive for something else?"
- "That's why I'm here tonight, 'cause I don't want to stay in hiding anymore."
- "I'm letting go of all I've been holding on to for way too long."
- "Nearer than ever before, but still so far away..."
- "It's about enough to bring a man to tears, but I know the one thing that's keeping them from falling: there's too many people here, I can't let 'em see me."
- "I know you know how good I could be for you."

(By the way, all of these gems and many many more are available on my CD, which can be heard at myspace.com/scottduebber or purchased by contacting me via email: scott at impactwest dot com. There, I'm done. The "I'm a pathetic self-promoting whore" part of this post is now complete.)

But never has a lyric brought me to tears (of pure confusion) moreso than this one:

I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside

Isn't that beautifully clear as freaking mud?!?! As is typically the case, first commenter with the correct artist and songtitle wins a cookie. No googling!
