Sara Bancroft

Hi there! This music contains songs I composed between 1994 - 2006. They include work in my music studio, live performances at coffee shops, and from my piano recital in 2000. The very last song is the first song I ever composed in the 6th grade (1978). I'm currently studying the flute while working on some piano/flute pieces with my instructor. Future music will have a different website. I'll direct you to it when the material is ready. Thank you for listening! Sara

Story behind the song

The media keeps discussing how Bush doesn't have a plan for the Iraq war. I put a spin on it by turning the lyric canvas on the mother. If she could save her son, in a codependent manner, perhaps she would hand him a plan for future wars.

Lyrics

FORGET YOUR PLAN
(An open letter to Barbara Bush)


VERSE
Dear old lady staring in the window
Searching for a life sign in the room
Dear old lady knocking rather heavy at the door
Shouting that you wanna go home soon
They'll let you in 
If you won't sin
And tell them they're not damned
But.....

CHORUS
Forget your plan
For the coming war
You cannot help them out of this one, Barbara
Forget your plan
Just give 'em "civil cheer"
Show them that you're near
Without the fear of the damned
Who hold no plan in their hand.

VERSE
Dear old lady come right in and try and take control
Staring at those swollen eyes today
Maybe you can move together further down the hall
If only they can use you as a brace
They'll let you in 
If you won't sin
And tell them they're not damned
But.....

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

CHORUS REPEAT AND END
Just give ‘em “civil cheer”; standing on your peer
Without the fear of the damned
Who hold no plan in their hand.
