You're language Arts class should be teaching you basic writing; Like punctuation and capitalization. ;D 
However, I think @mmoul would be able to help you with this one when she comes on. :)

@rebeccaskell94 "You're" is a contraction that replaces you are. There should also be a comma after "like," and like should not be capitalized. Sorry I couldn't help myself. 

@mrorchestra57 What I would do is create a motif which features throughout the song. A really easy way to write a song is to write 4 bars and have bars 1 and 3 be the exact same and have bars 2 and 4 be variations of each other. This makes the song sound balanced. I think this is called a period. I could probably help more if you need it =)
