People 09:06

If you feel isolated Or alienated Just know that you are not alone If you see someone isolated Go and embrace them Take their hand and say, “Welcome home” People We can make This a place Full of love No matter where we come from If you believe in separation Know that it’s just an illusion We are all a part of one collective soul If you feel like expressing hatred Just take a big deep breath in Crack a smile and then let it go People We can make This a place Full of love No matter where we come from And if it feels like life just ain’t goin your way Surrender to the moment Have some patience Know it will be okay People We can make This a place Full of love No matter where we come from If you feel like there’s no escaping Nothing left to believe in We could start with common skin and bone If you feel the inspiration Coming from new directions Do not resist Let us accept it whole People We can make This a place Full of love No matter where we come from

Hope in My Heart 03:43
lyrics

Call out my name And I’m standin right there beside you Cast out your blame Still I will be standin right there beside you Don’t think I’m here to play At your love with crazy games No, that’s all behind you Just like the rain I keep fallin so hard all around you No, I can’t explain How every day I can’t help but think about you I know it seems insane And at first I thought the same But when I opened up my heart it burst right into flames And know that’s a good thing Cause I’ve got hope in my heart for you And I know you know you feel it too All this time, I’ve always had hope in my heart for you Thru all the pain That I know you must have all inside you Know it won’t sustain Yeah time is your friend let it find you I know I cannot stay But in the most respectful way It’s never been so hard for me to turn and walk away But maybe someday Cause I’ve got hope in my heart for you And I know you know you feel it too All this time, I’ve always had hope in my heart for you Yes I’ve got hope in my heart for you And I know you know you feel it too All this time, I’ve always had hope in my little heart for you Oh all I've got is hope up Yeah every time I look inside All I find is hope in my heart for you

For Just a Few Dollars More 04:31
lyrics
buy track
Stealin the lampposts on the road to a place that you never ever thought you'd go Hopin to find someone else who knows the worth of somethin stolen, is it just as good as gold? Feelin entitled on this path you sow to reap what you've been given as a guide through the unknown when suddenly you find out that what you hold ain't worth a dime or gemstone with no light from which to grow Well you bargain for my heart and you're takin away my soul Why not my mind and body too for just a few dollars more So many reaches with so far to grow Well you thought it'd be so easy to ignore this heavy load and try to convince yourself that you know it's only temporary, so a tighter grip you hold When all you need is to let it all go and feel the weight that's lifted just leave you to your own sense that you finally have now restored and will take you beyond mountains where the eagles like to soar Well you bargain for my heart and you're takin away my soul Why not my mind and body too for just a few dollars more

Oh So Real 03:11
lyrics

It’s not when I’m runnin around It’s not when I’m comin down It’s not when I feel like I could take on the world It’s not when I’m floatin around Talkin to all the people that I found It’s not when I feel like I’ve been buried by the world But there’s something there In all of the things that I feel In all the betweens that make it all oh so real It’s not in the words you don’t speak Or the breaths that the morning breathes It’s not when I feel the light kiss of a memory It’s not in the spaces that bruise Or in any of the colors you choose It’s not when I feel the light from a crescent moon But there’s something there In all of the things that I feel In all the betweens that make it all oh so real Make it oh so real Make it oh so real Oh so real Make it oh so real Oh so real

Phantom Pain 05:05
lyrics
buy track
(co-write w/ Owen Temple) Smells like thunder, feels like lightning Pull me underneath the wind Torn asunder, new enlightening Back out to sea again Hidden secrets, information Held out from a friend Darkest deepest, revelations Heal the weakest place within Wake me when it’s over The storm and the rain Blow away what I told her Take away the phantom pain Sudden bright light to navigate in Clearest I have ever been Still a few hallucinations Come around now and then Turn my sails out to the open Where the new waves begin Darkest deepest, revelations Heal the weakest place within Shake me when it’s over The storm and the rain Blow away what I told her Take away the phantom pain

She Gives 04:42
lyrics

Can you see the streams? Are they clear enough to notice In them lies every waking dream Can you see the stars? Is it clear enough to notice In them lies every broken heart Isn’t it a beautiful thing How this whole world Gives and gives and gives again Can you feel the breeze? A connection to each other So close yet so out of reach Can you breathe in the air? Fill your lungs with a moment of Relaxing in repair Isn’t it a beautiful thing How this whole world Gives and gives and gives again And even when she cries It’s helpin some new part of her grow and come alive Nurture in her own time Though we may drift away Nothing compares to the love that she provides Oh all the love that she provides may we learn and come to find all the love that he provides may we learn and come to find all the love that she provides all the love that she provides Isn’t it a beautiful thing How this whole world She just gives and gives and gives again She just gives and gives and gives again She just gives and gives and gives again

Too Far Over You 03:57
lyrics

Angel come up to me Sit me right down and she told me all the reasons why she’s gonna leave don’t leave me be Faces in the dark recreatin a spark of how it used to be but now that aint the reality Yeah she says, “I have fallen too far over you” yeah she said, “I have fallen too far over you” See me crossin the street To keep up with my feet As I’m runnin down this dream With the way she looks at me Oh darling please This cant really be true There must be some way to prove From my head down to my heart Can we take it from the start This time you’ll see Oh just how I have fallen too far over you Can’t you see I have fallen too far over you Well you say that it’s something that you know That I won’t be able to understand And that as much as you want to love me I can’t be your man What’s the matter with me Ain’t there more that you see With true love there’s no such thing As a conflict of compatibility See I have fallen too far over you Oh honey, I've fallen too far over you Can't you see I have fallen too far over you

Our Hearts Had to Break 03:36
lyrics

If it takes somebody else to break your heart For you to find the strength within that you need to carry on And find yourself walkin up to me While I am sittin on the street Playin a song to mend my own Well I can’t help but think that there’s something out there Makin sure we find our way For you to be right here when I am here What are the chances that we had to take How many of our hearts had to break If it takes somebody else to break my heart For me to find the place within now I know to call my home And find myself walkin up to you So we can sit there with a view Under a moon to call our own Well I can’t help but think that there’s something out there Makin sure we find our way For you to be right here when I am here What are the chances that we had to take? How many of our hearts had to break And I know it’s gonna take some time before We can try to make this work It may seem there ain’t no reason to why The universe lets us hurt But we can trust that the love will return Yeah we can trust that the love will return Well I can’t help but think that there’s something out there Makin sure we find our way For you to be right here when I am here What are the chances that we had to take? How many of our hearts had to break

Struggle of the Sea 04:31
lyrics
buy track
Look across the water now Is there something that I see Silhouetted in the mist Waitin there for me To find my way across this rugged struggle of the sea and settle down into a place of peaceful serenity It’s been so long since I’ve found A world that I know who takes the things that no one sees And learns to make them show But how far off could someone be To think that this is real While looking back at ourselves And how we used to feel I lay my head down Hoping that I see Something remindin me That though I seem strong There ain’t nothing I need More than to simply be In a world that seems To take my soul and set it free Look across the water now Is there something that you see A struggle for a certain life That keeps bringing you to your knees But how you find your way across The struggle of the sea Will set the tone for the only Life you really need I lay my head down Hoping that I see Something remindin me That though I seem strong There ain’t nothing I need More than to simply be In a world that seems To take my soul and set it free

B.R. Lively Austin, Texas

As you dance in the dark
of a forever tomorrow
You may never want
to see the sun again

As you weep with tears
of a forever sorrow
You may wish the sun
had never risen

But if you stand in the still
beating heart of a storm
with eyes wide open
You will see a forever peace
and know this star
could never cease
its shining ... more
