    Sample text.

    Get Back, get back again and again
    I've been here since I can remember when
    My life is a boat, being blown by you
    With nothing ahead, just the deepest blue
    
    To me you're like a setting sun
    You rise then you're gone
    To me you're like a setting sun
    You rise then you're gone
