NaPoWriMo Day 27: Cover Version

Posted on April 30, 2023 by Mabh Savage

We talk about the power of words

How someone can sing

So hard

So passionately

Words that are not their own

I always felt grateful

I could write my own words

Feel my own story

Make my own melody

Yet I can’t deny

The draw

To sing someone else’s love

Another’s anger, joy, peace

There aren’t many cover versions

Better than the original

But sometimes, just sometimes

Someone nails it.

There’s always someone that gets you

Really gets you

It’s okay for them

To sing your story.
