The prompt for this skirmish was "learn", and although I'm a music teacher I had a really hard time thinking of lyrics. In the end I liked what I came up with, but I feel like it needs way more development.
I can't learn in a lifetime what I teach in a day
I'm just trying to follow on a path that's been laid
So I can learn to find my way
Even when the tune is wrong
I can learn to sing along
I'm not sure now
If I ever wrote a song
I can't learn in a lifetime what I teach in a day
I'm just trying to follow on a path that's been laid
So I can learn to find my way

I'm pretty sure you've written a song with this one! I really like the melody and chord progression. I think it would be worth working on this one

An introspective look at learning. I learned a lot teaching. And my reading got a lot better too.

Pretty especially love the bit that slows down . Some very appealing chords and lines. Such a nice song!

Yup, I teach music too. Yup. Nice work on this song. Great singing great words, and guitar work as well. Well done.

I like this! I teach at a university (though not music) and have this sort of feeling sometimes too... it reminds me that, the more you learn, the more you realise there is to know.

Loads of great things here! Introflection and great skirmish song!

Great lyrics - but the way you sing them really gives them power. Beautiful skirmish! Well done!

To me this speaks of a kind of hard-won humility, a lesson that many of us could stand to hear. A clean and well-paced write and an enjoyable listen.

This is a really interested take on the prompt. I like the introspection, and I like the song!
