  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    This is the first album that I can say that I handled all of the writing, production, and performance with the exception of Borrowed time, which was produced by one of my best friends Bobby Chastain, and Next to You, which was produced by a good friends and mentors Ashton Allen and Devin Moore. Aside from that, there was the conversations and inspirations of my other friends and family. I did a Bonus version of All that You need which includes a rap verse by a very talented artist I had the pleasure of working with (AzHeIz). I did some radio edits as well as some instrumentals for a lot of these songs. I wanted to make this collection of songs for licensing, and so there are three themes, and music that ascribes to each theme. None of the songs sound the same, and in that nailing down a Genre is hard, but ALL of the music is good. I Promise

I know a peace That passes all understanding There’s a love That requires almost no demanding There’s a friend Who is always there for you to lean on Not afraid To stand with you when all your friends are gone And he’s Love Love love Royal love Lion of Judah You have a heart That is hurt and in need of healing Stole your joy Let love do some stealing Let it go Only then can you receive him I know its hard but We all need something to believe in And its Love Love, Love Universal love Lion of Judah You have a hand That was built for you to do some reaching You have a mind That was built for you to do some teaching Lend a hand There’s a little dirt that needs some bleaching Hold a hand And by your leadership do some teaching On Love Love, Love Spiritual love Lion of Judah Love, Love, Love Able love, Lion of Judah……

I am a child born of the rhythm Learned to survive while bearing the blues Opened up my eyes to my life lessons And by the grace of God I made it through I found a home when I was homeless I found food when I couldn’t eat I found peace that passes understanding I found rest when I couldn’t sleep I found it all in God in me Life gets hard Sometimes you rather die than move on It ain’t easy being strong Sometimes you gotta stand When you are alone and afraid to fall But when you are alone….stand tall There times when I am the darkness But there are times when I am the light Sometimes I do the wrong thing on purpose What if I wanna get high tonight Since I found hope when I was hopeless I found a friend was I was in need Was generous to folks who didn’t deserve it I was in bondage and now I’m freed I found it all in God and me Life gets hard Sometimes you rather die than move on It ain’t easy being strong Sometimes you gotta stand When you are alone and afraid to fall But when you are alone….stand tall

My eyes are open hopin' I can find a light in all this dark I set my candle on a mantle searching for something to spark My interest light my fire moving melodies inspire me To write words of revolution To dream dreams of revelation Escape the institution of intuition To truly understand truly understand My heart lost feeling fell in love feels like I’m falling down to Earth With all this hurt I might as well keep my heart open but I’m not Its open, I can’t close it, I won’t close my heart because of you I dream in color I love no other I can recover when I Cover up with you cover up with you * You’re all around me In the air I breathe All that I see, all I ever want to be if I could be Seems you complete me burning bush to light my candle in the dark Took off my shoes so I could hold you holy hostess of my hear Our souls make sound when all sound ceases we are pieces works of art That fit like folded hands in prayer keeping time like beating hearts That beat together We’ll be together We’ll live forever I’ll grow old with you, and when I’m gone I’ll be your truth

V.1 I was at a show on a Saturday, went out to see some friends play, Gettin a drink when she appeared, this beautiful girl named Kate, She touched my hand I turned around, we started to talk it was too loud, We went outside to catch a breath, she lit up a cigarette, she took a drag didn’t say a word, looked at me and I still heard, what she was sayin didn’t hesitate, payed my tab and we escaped…. She said….. CH. Let’s get away, get out of here, Take my hand we’ll disappear, Take me to another place, Then the smile left her face she said Take me home make love to me, took a drag from her Capri, Starin at me with eyes so deep… Its what her green eyes said to me V.2 Got in the car to drive away, Sentimental mood started to play, I gazed deep into her eyes, kissed her soft she started to cry, she said I can’t believe my hearts beatin so fast, feels so right I want it to last, she grabbed my hand, put it on her cheek, leaned in close and started to speak…. She said….. CH. Let’s get away, get out of here, Take my hand we’ll disappear, Take me to another place, Then the smile left her face she said Take me home make love to me, took a drag from her Capri, Starin at me with eyes so deep… Its what her green eyes said to me V.3 The moon was low when we fell asleep, clothes on the floor and crumpled sheets, I could hear the blowin leaves, I felt peace when she would breath, She grabbed my hand I kissed her cheek, I could feel her heart beat, felt her touch wash over me, I never felt so complete….She said….. CH. Let’s get away, get out of here, Take my hand we’ll disappear, Take me to another place, Then the smile left her face she said Take me home make love to me, took a drag from her Capri, Starin at me with eyes so deep… Its what her green eyes said to me

Go ‘head and pack a bag, maybe its best you leave, I’m tired of beggin you to stay Again with the same old thing, I’m tired of arguing anyway Everytime we talk it out, you end up walkin out, and all this leavin I can’t take Its already four o’clock and we haven’t stopped, I can’t believe we’re still awake Maybe we’re both too tired to listen Waiting for a chance to talk I don’t remember conversations this frustrating at all CH. I just wanna lay here next to you Tell me your hopes and dreams we could just lay quietly I just wanna lay here next to you Wide awake and dreamin just watchin you sleepin Next to me v2 Don’t wanna fight no more I love you so much more than any words I could ever say Its try to see your side but you always run and hide I give and give and you just take Or maybe its take and give this ain’t no way to live I think that I’ll leave for a change Cause everytime you leave the house the silence is so loud that I can barely concentrate PCh Because we’re both too tired to listen And I don’t think we’ll ever talk Except the exact same conversations same frustrations and all….. CH. I just wanna lay here next to you Tell me your hopes and dreams Or we could lay quietly I just wanna lay here next to you Wide awake and dreamin just watchin you sleepin Next to me Bridge Tell me all your thoughts on God Its just us we’re all we got Tell me all your doubts and fears and I’ll stay right here by your side Tag: I just wanna lay here next to you tell me what you believe… Chorus: Come on get love, come on get loved next to me Come on be love, come on be loved next to me

Settle for Me 04:22
lyrics

Sifting through the things that God has blessed me with You're the only thing that's come to mind A tear rolled down my cheeks as I thanked him for the gift The greatest gift in life I'd ever find You can name a million things I'll never be I'm your forever if you settle for me I know that I'm not all I'm cracked up to be Settle for me, Settle for me I know how complicated this life could be Settle for me, Settle for me Settle for me, Settle for me Here we stand now side by side and hand in hand The two of us will leave this place as one And As the future quickly turns into the past, Time will let our love outshine the sun You can name a million things I'll never be I'm your forever if you settle for me I know that I'm not all I'm cracked up to be Settle for me, Settle for me I know how complicated this life could be Settle for me, Settle for me Nobody's words can cut me deeper and nobody else's touch can heal A thousand tongues can talk forever and never describe the way I feel I know that I'm not all I'm cracked up to be Settle for me, Settle for me I know that I'm not all I'm cracked up to be Settle for me, Settle for me I know how complicated this life could be Settle for me, Settle for me

lyrics

Can’t put into words all the things you brought me through unmeasurable miles past the pain and the abuse And I’ve opended up to see the truth in you and I know that you love me, when you dare me to move And I couldn’t have made it here all alone, if I was out here on my own, so far gone away from home And I don’t know how I’m still alive, ‘cause too many times I could’ve died, but you taught me to survive and Ch. I would love to be the one to lift you to your feet but I’m afraid that I’m too weak So I’ll stay here beside you, down here on my knees because I’m afraid that I can’t be all that you need You were there for me through the sleepless nights, stood between me and police ready to fight And in my darkest times you became my light, you covered me like shelter from the rain that reigns inside I want to let you know I’ll try, to be a constant source of Love and Light I’m gonna push my fears aside I’ll stand up tall and strong and give you something you can hide behind and Ch. I would love to be the one to lift you to your feet but I’m afraid that I’m too weak So I’ll stay here beside you, down here on my knees because I’m afraid that I can’t be all that you need Bridge And I apologize for everything I could never be, and I know that you’ll forgive me for trying to be everything Ch. I would love to be the one to lift you to your feet but I’m afraid that I’m too weak So I’ll stay here beside you, down here on my knees because I’m afraid that I can’t be all that you need (Repeat Ch.) All that you need because I’m afraid that I can’t be all that you need

Borrowed Time 05:11
lyrics

Looking down at my watch watching time watching me Watching people watching time move from deep breaths taken in Watching people’s life change moving up moving down moving on Always moving never staying the same From here I see a sea of faces going through phases living life facing love Facing tribulations different but the same All the while still changing trying to play the game getting older getting better Growing wiser with age Living on time, Borrowed time, Living on time, Borrowed time. Always watching the watch while watching me watch time marching on Minds and eyes are open looking for the light People dying bullets flying mothers crying asking why Kneeling down folded hands lookin to the sky Love is leavin earth its worth is growing smaller day by day Anger blinds the wise to only see their rage With all this fighting it gets hard to keep peace on my mind Oceans of their tears reverberate in time And I’m On time, Borrowed time, I hope you took the time to take the words I’m preachin in the song We all got time on Earth but we don’t have very long Grieving faces needing space but warm embrace from holy hands Imbued with love impatient peace cannot be wrong Cliff and Rosa knew that life itself is bout four letters long So Cliff ain’t sad though now that his mother Rosa’s gone So take this time to tell the ones you care don’t be scared Just look them in the eyes and let them know that you’ll be there Cause we’re On time Borrowed time On time Borrowed time

Pensive thinkin feeling drunk but not drinkin far from sober this war is far from over and all I can do, is think of you Barely breathin, the earth below me is bleedin and babies barely teethin are in need of healin and all I can do is think of you Ch Can you hear me, are you out there are you as scared as me, scared as me, the danger's coming, can you feel it, and is it time to leave, time to leave, cause all I can do, all I can do, is think of you My heart beat's racin from all the things I'm facin they got me pacin around the room and all I can do, is think of you I feel alone, I touch your skin and I'm home I kiss your lips, I wanna drink you in yea yeah and all I can do, is think of you Ch Can you hear me, are you out there are you as scared as me, scared as me, the danger's coming, can you feel it, and is it time to leave, time to leave, cause all I can do, all I can do, is think of you
