Maybe you're in need of lyrics and can't think of any, here is what you do... Want to write a hit song? Develop the patience to practice. Almost anybody can write a really good song. Learn to enjoy the feeling you get when other people enjoy your song. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced songwriter, here's how to tap your potential and bring out the music inside you.

1.Learn music theory. It is helps to learn from experts.

2.Use the clock. Try writing songs from 12 pm (Noon) to 4 pm. This is commonly known as "song writing prime-time" - when your creativity is at its peak. Don't miss out by sleeping in!

3.Stop thinking about writing a song, and start writing. Songs will not just come to you and say, "Hey, I'm a good song. Write me!". You have to listen to your surroundings. It's the song you'll hear inside your head, so you start singing it. Find the missing words you need for the song inside of you.

4.Think of a subject you want to write about. Whether it is about a break-up, or partying or even a very fun event, stay focused on that subject. It will make it easier!

5.Listen actively to a lot of music. Good poets read other people's lyrics. Good songwriters listen to songs. As you listen, think about what you like about a song. Are the lyrics unique? Do the song's chord changes perfectly capture a mood? Do you like the transition from one part of the song to another? Find out about song arrangement.

6.Get technical. You do not need a degree in music theory to write a good song. Song structure is good to know, because it mirrors poetic form. There are infinite ways to structure a song, and a common sequence is found in pop and hymns. Study and understand common song forms. As you listen, try to identify chorus (refrain) and verse. Check yourself by looking at lyrics online or in a music book; the parts of songs are often labelled in these media.

7.Be ready when inspiration comes calling. Unfortunately, inspiration usually does not always strike at convenient times, so if you get a good idea, then rehearse it. If you have the courage, then do it out loud. Carry a pen and paper with you wherever you go, or better yet, carry a tape recorder or digital audio recorder. Melodies can be extremely difficult to capture on paper unless you have a strong music background.
It would be helpful if you have a musical instrument (e.g. Piano, keyboard, guitar, etc.) so that you can explore the music. An added advantage is that you can easily write down the notes (or tabs) when you have a tune. Try recording it for feedback. Guitars plug directly into computer mic jacks with an adaptor. You can always go back to your recording. It helps. If you revise it, then record it again.

8.igure out what you've got. Once in a while, inspiration will hit you like a full force gale, and suddenly you have a full song out of nowhere. Most of the time, however, just a small piece of a potential song will come to you, leaving you to do the hard, but fun work of fleshing it out. You should have a feel for what part of the song you've come up with.

If it's super catchy (either a lyrical phrase or a snippet of music), and you can envision it being a repeated theme in the song, you've got the refrain—the climax or summary of your musical story—and you need to write verses to explain how you know in detail.
If what you've come up with seems more narrative lyrically or subtler musically — a part of a story rather than the main idea — you've probably got a verse, and you'll need to write the rest of the story (more verses) and, usually, a chorus.

9.Set the mood. Make sure your music fits the story. If it is sad, then you may want your melody to evoke sadness (by slowing it down or adding some minor chords, for example) or you might want to add a twist and combine sad lyrics to upbeat music in order to create a sense of tension and ambiguity.
