Fly Towards The Sun
 
Can I rise to the level of my blessings
A beacon of light to the shadows I am guessing
Each day that passes begets yet another
The story’s written keep trust in your brother
 
Take my hand, ‘cus we’re in this together
There’s more than I know, but we need one another      
 
Fly toward the sun and keep your wings as one 
Who you wish to be, the choice will set you free  
 
Fact or fiction yet fiction bears the real truth 
And when you see this, you’ll unburden your youth
There’s no denying the promise of tomorrow 
It resides within you keep strong heed your sorrow 
 
Just a step and a reach of your own faith 
It’s all you need take what’s yours; have the real taste 
 
It’s time you set aside your worried mind
Step inside you won’t be blind   
There ain’t no time to live in what could be 
It time you see you’re almost free
 
Fly toward the sun and keep your wings as one 
Who you wish to be, the choice will set you free  
 
When light meets shadow and nothing else can hide now
Everything you know please see past your own brow
A multiverse that divides in your own hands
The blessing is love take care and save us all man 
 
It’s clear to see it is now within your own view 
in your hands what you chose will make it come true
 
Fly toward the sun and keep your wings as one 
Who you wish to be, the choice will set you free
 
Let the river flow
Take grace let it go
Be one with Earth and Wind
Be free of your sins
We all have wounds
Rest assured
 
Look into the love you’ve found
And see the world we’ve build abound
A sweeter song has never sound
Among the stars a symphony
And how it is we came to be
Grateful, eternally

It’s All A Dream
 
You seem just the girl I can fall in love with
I’ve barely just learned your name yet something has begun
There’s one thing I need to know, ‘cus I’m well … terrified
Am I just lifting stones to have the wall collapse on me

Ever since I looked your eyes I knew I had to have you
Now I get another chance to show you who I am
There’s somewhat of a hindrance, we’re a thousand miles apart
Is the spark hot enough to keep the flame alive with words

You’re rekindling a part of me that I lost so long ago
You are bringing out the best in me, but I fear it’s all a dream
And I’ll have to wake up and face life all alone again

The more you open up your heart the deeper I become
Not a second passes by that you’re not on my mind
What am I supposed to do? I hope you feel the same
Are we just playing games, the ones that when you lose it hurts

You’re rekindling a part of me that I lost so long ago
You are bringing out the best in me, but I fear it’s all a dream
And I’ll have to wake up and face life all alone again

Won’t you take this leap with me, cause I know there’s something there
Put aside the thought that this will only bring us tears
Trust me when I say I will not bring you pain
Give your heart to me; we have something that is few and far between

Will this be all too much; I know this happened fast
If I could take your hand I’d kiss you so intense
There’s so much I want to do to show you I’m for real
Will your patience take us through and wait ‘till I am there with you

You’re rekindling a part of me that I lost so long ago
You are bringing out the best in me, but I fear it’s all a dream
And I’ll have to wake up and face life all alone again

A Perfect Dream
 
I can hear your heartbeat
And now my heart’s alive
I wonder how you've grown
In time, ‘til shown, but still inside
Can't you see you've changed me
Someday soon, but can't yet see
I wonder where we'll go
In time, ‘til known, come what may be
 
Still unborn, still unseen
I’ll give my love, I’ll give my soul
You, my child, my perfect dream
All my dreams
Stay resilient, remaining humble 
Trust in yourself, and you will know
Turn to me when worlds will crumble
Love redeems
 
I wish that I could teach you
All it is that you may need
Some lessons are hard fought
In time, you grow, but make you bleed
So see what you want to see
And be who you're meant to be
There's so much more to know
In time, it shows and where it leads
 
Still unborn, still unseen
I’ll give my love, I’ll give my soul
You, my child, my perfect dream
All my dreams
Stay resilient, remaining humble 
Trust in yourself, and you will know
Turn to me when worlds will crumble
Love redeems
 
What it is that you become
My love for you is an endless sun
That lights the path you take in life
So find the joy beyond your strife
I hope that you become
More than just the sum 
Of all our Hopes and Fears
A perfect dream
 
We’ve given you this life
Which now you make your own
Transcendent one who’s light
Through dark of night
Has brightly shone
You’re going through the funnel
To reach the other side
It’s all an act of faith
‘Cus you don’t know what you will find
A perfect dream
 
This journey's just begun
You've already changed me
Waiting here to catch you
As you float on down the stream
 
Still unborn, still unseen
I’ll give my love, I’ll give my soul
You, my child, my perfect dream
All my dreams
Stay resilient, remaining humble 
Trust in yourself, and you will know
Turn to me when worlds will crumble
Love redeems
 
Waiting here ‘til I arrive
So surreal, this love to guide
Once tethered, now forever 
See you on the other side
As you float on down the stream
Back to top

Fallen Star
 
If I was to tell the truth
How deep do we go
Or would your eyes deceive you
And everything I show
Would you think me ill 
For seeing the unseen
Would you then condemn me
For waking while you dream
Chasing down the dragon
So far down it’s lair
You want to earn those wings
You better be a demon-slayer
I’ll caution you, now once
As the hour draws us near
When suddenly the world you wake to
Is purposefully unclear
 
It’s what you’ve always known 
I can barely say these words 
The life you’ve all been shown 
There is something left unheard 
 
You think you have to play 
By arbitrary rules
It’s all they thought to teach you
In all their made-up schools
And in their halls of power
Or on their silver screen
Keep them all complacent
We’ll sell our nightmare as a Dream
The infiltration’s deep
And it’s all you’ve come to know
You think you’re ruled from Heaven 
As the demons laugh below
And as the flame engulfs you
The light that burns untrue
Stand within your center
For its fire can’t burn through
 
It’s what you’ve always known 
I can barely say these words 
The life you’ve all been shown 
There is something left unheard 
 
Will light ever know defeat
Will darkness know of its deceit
Beat by beat and blow by blow
Never knowing where we go
 
When the herd grows dense
Another DEW drop from the sky
And we all watch, in horror
As our children scream and cry
Submerge the world in chaos
In light of Truth, it drowns
And within your soul’s disintegration
A resonating sound
So flood the Earth
Man the arc
The pestilence will spread
The seals are broken
The words unspoken
We now betray the dead
The lies will fall, be seen by all
And you will have your proof
Speak the word, to kill the dragon
Only need to tell the Truth
 
It’s what you’ve always known 
When you think you’ve seen it
I can barely say these words 
You’ve only glimpsed it’s scales
The life you’ve all been shown 
And when it’s teeth are bearing down
There is something left unheard 
You’ve only seen the tail
 
And if one day the sun
Should come to shine again
To drive away the darkness
And help our hearts to mend
And what was once made broken
We’ll build again by hand
And with the shadows driven
We’ll know peace upon our land
Try to understand

I’ve Been Wrong Before
 
How much longer must I climb
Until you’ll let me in and trust that it’s alright
I’ve seen the look within your eyes.
You’re scared you’ll lose yourself; you’ve built it up so high
How high

I think it’s time you grab my hand.
And know I’ll never take away from who you are
You may choose to keep this up
But you’ll soon find out, it’s holding back your life and your love
And our love

I’ve been wrong before
But we’ll never know
How can we move past our doubts and grow
I’ve been lost before
But we’re not alone
If we take this chance at least we’ll know
In life before your heart was crushed

But that does not mean that I will hurt you in the end. 
You can trust in who I am. 
Every word I say is real and I am not just pretend.
I'm who I am

I’ve been wrong before
But we’ll never know
How can we move past our doubts and grow
I’ve been lost before
But we’re not alone
If we take this chance at least we’ll know

Know not what you want
‘Cus what you knew before
May not be the best choice for you
And who you are you may have never met

What you feel you're not alone
I know it's worth the risk we really cannot lose
With each day we spend apart
My heart says it's alright; now it's time we both have to choose
We cannot lose

I’ve been wrong before
But we’ll never know
How can we move past our doubts and grow
I’ve been lost before
But we’re not alone
You and I as one can make a home
Back to top

My True Conviction
 
There’s something that’s going on
You’ve got my heart skipping beats
Am I playing with fire
Do I give in to desire
 
It’s not a feeling I have
And now my mind’s letting go
Though I’ve known love before
I sense that this can be much more
 
It’s not just something I say
Not some words with false intentions
When I do let them out
You’ll know my true conviction
 
I tried to keep it inside
And told myself it’s too soon
This never happens like this
Before our lips share our first kiss
 
It’s not just something I say
Not some words with false intentions
When I do let them out
You’ll know my true conviction
 
But now I need to take a step back
And give you time to breath
And put my faith in knowing that you
Only need to believe
The choice is clear, but fear evades you
Don’t let your doubts restrain
The things in life that bring the most gain
Always will make you push through pain
 
Oh,please don’t throw this away
I think it’s all clear to see
The connection we share
Without is something I won’t bare
 
It’s not just something I say
Not some words with false intentions
When I do let them out
You’ll know my true conviction
Back to top

The In Between
 
Still not awakened from this Dream
I’m in this place, this in between
On this day, we’ve made a stand
Our love won’t fail now, hand on hand
 
How can I say what is only a feeling
How can I put in words what cannot be said
‘Cus when I try, it just leaves me reeling
The love I know can’t break out of my head
 
It’s something I can only show
So I let it grow stronger every day
‘Cus when words fail to say just what’s in my heart
I hope you know the in between can’t keep us apart
 
We’ve seen some highs and seen some lows
And in between; it’s what we’ve chose
So I vow from this day on
A life that’s bound, a love that’s strong
 
How can I say what is only a feeling
How can I put in words what cannot be said
‘Cus when I try, it just leaves me reeling
The love I know can’t break out of my head
 
It’s something I can only show
So I let it grow stronger every day
‘Cus when words fail to say just what’s in my heart
I hope you know the in between can’t keep us apart
 
The sun beats down upon my face
My eyes closed in silent embrace
A look within, a place to start
A lifted head with open heart 
 
This journey that began unknown
No longer now, we take alone
So my twin, my true reflection 
My friend, our love’s the one direction
 
How can I say what is only a feeling
How can I put in words what cannot be said
‘Cus when I try, it just leaves me reeling
The love I know can’t break out of my head
 
It’s something I can only show
So I let it grow stronger every day
‘Cus when words fail to say just what’s in my heart
I hope you know the in between can’t keep us apart
Can’t keep us apart
Back to top

​Always Here For You
 
I hope there’s nothing left that goes unsaid
But I confess
I’ve got something on my mind
You’re all I’ve tried to find
The day we met I somehow knew
Everything I’ve ever wanted is finally coming

True love is what we have right
Here, it’s never been so clear

Clear is my intention
You know it’s always true
Today I give this promise
And all my love for you
Shared is our connection
We’ll always make it through
There’s nothing that will break us
I’m always here for you

You always prove to keep me on my toes
I’m in this deep
I can’t ever get enough
‘Cus when life gets so tough
You’re what I need and pains just heal
There were days I thought I’d wake soon
This dream’s becoming

Real love is what we have right
Here, it’s never been so clear

Clear is my intention
You know it’s always true
Today I give this promise
And all my love for you
Shared is our connection
We’ll always make it through
There’s nothing that will break us
I’m always here for you

There's no bridge we cannot cross
‘Cus even if tomorrow brings our fears and gives us loss
Our love is strong
And you know we're strong enough to grow
Yes, we belong

The way you help me be the man I am
You let me see
How there's so much more to life
We always feel so right
It's with your hand I am complete
You are more than I could ask for
Your kiss is just so sweet

Sweet love is what we have right
Here, it’s never been so

Clear is my intention
You know it’s always true
Today I give this promise
And all my love for you
Shared is our connection
We’ll always make it through
There’s nothing that will break us
I’m always here for you

New Life

It’s time to shed this outer skin
And form a new life once again
I’ve went so far on my own
But I’m not too proud to say
I need your strength and love to get me home

I’ve seen some things that have burned my eyes
My heart can’t tell from a disguise
The time has come it’s this I know
I can’t keep holding on to pain I can’t undo
It’s gotta’ go

No more holding on
Yesterday was just another song
And so my friends it’s time
It’s time to see the other side

The road I walked was who’s to blame
For years I’ve cast out only shame
It’s days like this it’s all so clear
Who I was before a shell of who I am
There’s so much more
 
No more holding on
Yesterday was just another song
And so my friends it’s time
It’s time to see the other side

I digress 
Who I was before was not my best
But it’s not just what you’ve done
And it’s not that it was wrong
But it’s what you chose to do
That makes these words be true
It’s time to let my life begin
 
My past is more than just a scar
And what I’ve learned proved just as hard
There are days I am on my knees
And think it’s easier
To forget what I’ve become and fill my needs
 
No more holding on
Yesterday was just another song
And so my friends it’s time
It’s time to see the other side
Back to top

Immortal
 
To look inside, you just might find
What you’re looking for
To look inside, no longer blind
You open the door
Broke the frame
And snapped the hinge
Shadows creeping
On the fringe
 
Unlock my soul from servitude
Said the voice within
Not everything is black and white
There is no loss or win
Structures that enslave us
And keep us from above
Rule us all with hate and fear
They keep us from the love
 
How it seems will lead you astray
When you look at things in such a way
 
If genius is the mark of the
Connection to the soul
I need to know the cost
A world of fear will take its toll
But change is in the air, it seems
On the edge but far from home
And dreams persist still, in a hole
Of your own digging, all alone
 
How it seems will lead you astray
When you look at things in such a way
 
Step on through the portal
And cast aside your chains
‘Cus we are all immortal
And illusions are our pains
Step out of your shadow and
Put aside the blame
Suffering the slings and arrows
You know we’re all the same
 
It’s in our nature to look outside
Everything we have’s alive 
There’s nothing lost or even gained
We’re not so different, we’re all the same
 
And as such, we can’t survive
As water to a flame
These forces then, are all contrived
And I’m the one to blame
You see, it’s me who holds the key
And you, yourself, the same
Move beyond and learn to be
More than what you claim
 
How it seems will lead you astray
When you look at things in such a way
It’s all a part of one, you must know
I think it’s time you see what’s been shown
 
Step on through the portal
And cast aside your chains
‘Cus we are all immortal
And illusions are our pains
Step out of your shadow and
Put aside the blame
Suffering the slings and arrows
You know we’re all the same
 
Redemption held at the end of a string
See how it’s woven through everything 
How it’s connected and where you detach
Where you fight Fears and where your Dreams hatch
Trying to sever that silver tether
Try as though you might
But forever means forever
And we’re all just beams of light
 
Receiving all you ask and more
Holding the key, you pass through the door
Fire, Water, Air and Earth
Ether brings about rebirth

Finally Home
 
It’s been so long since I could put my faith in someone
It had to be
You just came along and somehow made my failures worthwhile
It had to be
You take up my thoughts; let nothing seem to matter elsewhere
And you fill my
Days when things are bad you let the sun shine down on my face

It’s what you make me feel each day I wake
Knowing this is real, it’s like a gift of our fate
My heart is finally home. It has to be you

I’m filled with joy just knowing that you’re always with me
It has to be
You know what to say to make me feel at ease and alright
It has to be
You warm up my soul; there’s no one that can ever come close
To what we have
Now I feel alive; you gave me back my will and my smile

It’s what you make me feel each day I wake
Knowing this is real, it’s like a gift of our fate
My heart is finally home
You’re all that I need

‘Cus I know with love I have what I need
And the truth our love is like a dream
You are the one
I’ll give my life
You are the one
If you’ll be my wife

Can barely wait to know what tomorrow brings us
It has to be
You my love, my friend, there’s nothing that could ever break us
It has to be
You light up the room, there’s no one I can see around you
And you fill my

Dreams when I’m asleep, there’s not a moment when you’re not there
It’s what you make me feel each day I wake
Knowing this is real, it’s like a gift of our fate
My heart is finally home
It’s not just a dream
Back to top

Sunlight
 
What you mean to me
You won’t understand 
Haven’t yet held the world
In the palm of your hand
I hope that you know
And you don’t have a doubt
That I’m still with you
Even when we’re without
 
Sun shine, you light up the world
And reason’s unfurled
Shine bright, ‘cus even in the night
All that’s in sight
Can be seen because of your reflection 
 
With this life here to learn 
For us to lead
Hard lessons, in turn
May leave our souls to plead
You can’t fight the fear
So don’t hold within
Just move toward the light
You’ll know where to begin 
 
Sun shine, you light up the world
And reason’s unfurled
Shine bright, ‘cus even in the night
All that’s in sight
Can be seen because of your reflection
 
We take for granted we’ll be here tomorrow 
And take for granted that there’ll be no sorrow
Not much given, all is earned
Some hard-fought, these lessons learned
And when faith’s lost in all above
And all else fails, believe in love
In love

Sun shine, you light up the world
And reason’s unfurled
Shine bright, ‘cus even in the night
All that’s in sight
Can be seen because of your reflection
 
And when it all seems you life goes unplanned
You can’t fight the flow, so be your own man
Should fears come to pass and we are apart
All my soul’s here for you to hold on your heart
Back to top

At Your Mercy
 
While I watch the days go by in such a blur
I can’t help feeling like I need to stop myself from rushing it all away
Because what’s here in front of me are
Two little people where life’s still a wonder 
Where all they want’s your love and that’s what you have 
 
You both possess a light I never knew was there
And with that glow I feel I have something now that I never thought I could
You’ve always been a part of me
You’re like an extension a part of my life now 
A gift that’s bigger than the dreams I used to have
 
Oh, you got me in such a way
Nothing can explain the way I feel
I’m at your mercy
Just say the word and anything can be
 
Just to see your eyes and the how you learn the world
It’s such a lovely view and a joy in every way I can describe
And when you come with open arms
The feel of your heartbeat
The warmth of your closeness is beyond what I can take, or I deserve
 
Oh, you got me in such a way
Nothing can explain the way I feel
I’m at your mercy
Just say the word and anything can be
 
How can I be 
What you need in life
Hand in hand we’ll grow
And go just where it leads
 
Though this year has been a lull to say the least
But what it has allowed for me stop and enjoy the little things with you
And take each day as something new
Just being your father
And watching my children grow so much in only just a year
 
Oh, you got me in such a way
Nothing can explain the way I feel
(Days, weeks, and years)
I’m at your mercy
Just say the word and anything can be
Just say the word and anything can be
Back to top

The Other Side
 
There's so much more to say
I don't know if you can hear me yet
I don't know if you're listening
If I don't teach you, I'll regret
I'm waiting here to find you
Though I haven't seen your face
I'm waiting here to reach you
‘Cus now I know my place
 
Infinity
(Infinity at your fingertips)
Reflected at you
(A reflection of perfection)
And when it all bends
(And when the ground beneath you slips)
It’s where you go next
(Depend on our connection)
 
Welcome to your new life
So full and still unwritten
Possibilities still endless
You have the pieces fitting
 
There's so much for me to show
Stand on high, a mountain peak
So many ways the wind can blow
Which direction will you seek
Remember this moment
I've loved you from the start
We love you with our all
You were made within our hearts
 
Infinity
(Infinity at your fingertips)
Reflected at you
(A reflection of perfection)
And when it all bends
(And when the ground beneath you slips)
It’s where you go next
(Depend on our connection)
 
Welcome to your new life
So full and still unwritten
Possibilities still endless
You have the pieces fitting
 
The wonder in your eyes
Is what we long to see
Waiting here to know you
And who you grow to be
Just know we’re always here
Let Hope and Love renew
So, find the Dream beyond the Fear
Learn things you always knew
 
Words of advice to the one that’s coming through
Once upon a time, I saw not one, but only two
Separate and conquered, apart and felt defeat
Unenlightened, deterred, alone and incomplete
I hope you never know what it feels to be apart
My life, my child; little fragment of our heart
Lessons learned, finding light; transcend the other side
I’ve endured, now gaining sight; we mend the great divide
 
Infinity
(Infinity at your fingertips)
Reflected at you
(A reflection of perfection)
And when it all bends
(And when the ground beneath you slips)
It’s where you go next
(Depend on our connection)
 
Welcome to your new life
So full and still unwritten
Possibilities still endless
You have the pieces fitting
 
We can imagine a perfect world with you
I can imagine a perfect world in you... Imagine
Believe in us
Between us, trust
(You see we’re all a part of one)
Transform
Transcend
(So where do we go from here)
And feel the boundary bend
This love without an end
