lyrics

I have a friend, he’s been under the weather,
we gave it some time but he’s not getting better.
I’m out of ideas and the gods have been quiet,
for a rather long time now.
But I heard a rumor that You might be able to lend us a hand.
But if it’s alright with You, I will stay here,
as You go inside of my house with those tears.
And please disregard all the mess on my floor,
it’s been a hell of a year.
“My dear, I’ve never seen such steady faith
In all my time here,
Go and see what love has saved tonight.”
I have a son, he takes after his mother,
he sees all the good and the light in the other.
But he’s been at war and his last letter told us
That it wasn’t all well.
But I heard a rumor that You might be able to reach across death.
Whatever You say in this moment,
I believe that it’s breaking through and making new
whatever comes Your way.
And I took a step on the limb that was shaking
under the weight of the chance I was taking.
You looked at me long and Your look got me thinking:
What if all of it’s true? What to do?
Had You heard a rumor that I’ve been a beggar for some kind of change?

I started composing when I was 10. I called one of my first songs "Nostalgia", although I can't recall what my ten year old self was so nostalgic about. Released my first album in 2000. Things got busy, but I never stopped writing. Even if it meant composing on a mostly-broken piano in the basement of a university that I wasn't even enrolled in. Enjoy all the music and reading! Pax.
