Songwriting Attempt

I thought the poetry I had written at 12-16 syllables per line, involved lines that were too long to be put to music for singing. After looking at some of my favorite song lyrics, I decided to try to write a song at 6-10 syllables a line, and came up with a song with 6-8 syllables a line:

Lost Heroes

Joining the guitar and singing
A hushed melody of drumming
Signs of Joseph's Lost Tribe
Visible in Gentiles
Sports heroes of the Gentiles
Rise from the countryside
Conquering the nation
Famous in Stadiums

This song needs a melody and a rhythm, and a singer. Probably someone other than myself should be the singer. Maybe the next attempt should involve 4-6 syllable lines.
