I'd like to have a response from the native English speakers.
I have lines: 1. How to save the nation from a war. And: 2. African flames are burning from inside. Is the grammar ok? 3. I have a verse: Moving planets form a seesaw Where the gravity has been caught Although Jupiter has lost the force Is the grammar ok? |

Yes, your grammar looks fine to me, Ilpoxi, and these days, lyrics don't have to be grammatically correct anyway.
As a native English speaker, the way you have used "the" in #3 is perhaps a little strange: it'd be more normal to say "Where gravity has been caught." Also, in normal usage, #1 would typically be part of a longer idea, for example: "I don't know how to save the nation from a war" or "How to save the nation from a war is a problem for politicians today." "Moving planets form a seesaw" is a great line, btw. ![]()
