write…write…right! (Tribute to Run by OneRepublic) Original written by: Brent Kutzle, John Nathaniel, Ryan Tedder, & Tyler Spry Lyrics: Write, write, write, Write, write, write, Write, right! And read, read, read Read, read, read, Read, read Back as a small kid Learning to get witty Mom and Dad taught me to write write, write, write, right! Caring about the greats Their books too funny Plugged in And Mom called me Hun, Hun, Hun, Hun, Hun She told me the world out there’s tough So make your art bold Listen for the pitter patter of footsteps They’re foretold Carve out fairy tales Cause you’re in one Girl, you need to write, write, write, write, right! So write, write, right! Write, write, write, Write, write, write, Write, right! And read, read, read Read, read, read, Read, read As I was a young kid Uniformed at the ready With books in all my bag bag, bag, bag, bags Never was a time that God didn’t show me To trust in Him for everything Breaking my chains Planting love, seeds sown When I get stuck Masterpieces unfold Leave that writer’s block in the dust So I’ll write, write, write, write, right! Yeah For creepy, seek out Edgar Allan Poe For life lessons, Jordan Peterson’s got more than t-shirts in the mall I’ll scribble until I can’t hold a pen Charles Dickens style Did you get my message?
