I wrote this song for my son before his senior season of high school football.
Yes feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you for the feedback Robert. I wrote the song to try and capture the beginning of the season season , the end of the season, and how quick it all goes by.

Not any critical feed back from me, just something I’ve found helpful. Other than singing your song back to yourself to see how easy it is to sing is to also count the number of syllables. Usually if the syllable count is similar, the words seem more uniform in flow.

Well it is Friday, the day is finally hear
Kickoff is just hours away, it’s the start of a new year
You began this journey many years ago
From a little kid into a young man you have grown
You have put in the work ever since day one
From running routes in the front yard and all the practices in the sun
All of your hard work has led you to tonight
It’s your senior year, the last season under these lights
Chorus:
The band starts to play, that crowd starts to roar
As the team takes the field looking to win one more
The butterflies are in your stomach as that anthem plays
Once that ball is kicked off they will all go away
Side by side with your brothers, a bond so tight
You only got a handful of these left…..under these lights…)
The weather begins to change, the season is winding down
It’s been a great ride, y’all have captivated the town
Now it’s getting close to the end of the line
As you put on that helmet and pads one last time
One final pre game speech then one last trip out the door
It’s all flown by so fast, can we have just a few more
Chorus:
The band starts to play, that crowd starts to roar
As the team takes the field for a final time trying to win one more
Tears fill your eyes as that anthem plays
Before that ball is kicked off you wipe them away
Side by side with your brothers, a bond so tight
It’s your final one together…….under these lights…)
Well the clock hits zeros, that final whistle sounds
You embrace with your teammates and take one last look around
It’s hard to believe that it’s came to an end
Seems just like yesterday that this journey began
It’s the close of a chapter in your young life
Your story is just beginning, still lots of pages to write
But you don’t wanna leave that field, wish you could stay here all night…
And take in every last second…..under these lights……
Under these lights……….

Congrats on the song. It’s one that parents can relate to. Having said that, it’s a little confusing because in the beginning of the song it seemed like the football season was just starting and then at the end of the song it seemed like the season had ended. I think you could make it stronger by starting out by saying it’s the end of the season or it’s the last game of the year. Just my .02
