This was my view out my train window during a delay.

Well the odds couldn’t have been more against me this go around for the 7in7 challenge: I was out of town or on the road for work 5 out of 7 days, and then I lost my voice. But I decided that it doesn’t matter – I will still post the songs I started during the week. The main point of 7in7 is to stimulate the creativity in artists and make them produce work. Who says I can’t do 7in7 during Thanksgiving week? Or a week in December?

The song I’m posting today is called “Worth It” which was inspired by my extra long train ride home last week. But I will admit that unlike the person in the song, I was traveling by train to see my family. My first ever journey by train was a success and I recommend it (although I would give a couple extra hours for connecting trains or flights in case of delays).

Worth It (clickable)

I’m going home, going home on a train.

I don’t care how much time that it takes.

Every hour I waste sitting on those rails,

Will be worth it if I see him again.

I’m packing light – only for a day.

Leaving my guitar back in its case.

I’ve got paper and a pen, and the words here in my soul,

I will write him a song so he’ll know.

I close my eyes, and I can see his face.

I remember the strength in his embrace.

I miss his eyes, and the way his smile draws me in.

I’m on a train just to see him again.

I’m going home, going home on a train.

I don’t care how much time that it takes.

Every hour I waste sitting on those rails,

Will be worth it if I see him again.
