ut together the key points of the song. These will form the backbone of the lyrics, the reason for each verse, the chorus, or both. Don't overdo it—you could end up with a 20-minute song! We'll stick to standard formats for now.
With your ideas for each verse sketched out, work out a verse that makes each point. Commonly, the point is made in the last line, with the first three lines building up support, reason, or rhyme for the last line.
Continue filling in the "blanks," until each verse is complete. You may find that there are rhymes that can be reused in other verses, and some verses that stand on their own. Remember, this is your song, and the goal is to be unique. Don't worry if it doesn't follow a fixed formula—even rhymes can be tossed out if they don't fit!
