TRAVELING LIGHT
Memories and dreams won’t last
But I keep trading in present moments for the future and the past
I’m traveling light, ‘Cause I know I might die tonight
You want to take me away from this thing called my life
It’s your job to scathe me. So scathe me, but expect a fight
Memories and dreams won’t last
But I keep trading in present moments for the future and the past
I’m traveling light, ‘Cause I know I might die tonight
And when the time comes that I must leave and night shall fall
Will I discover that I have not lived at all
Memories and dreams won’t last
But I keep trading in present moments for the future and the past
I’m traveling light, ‘Cause I know I might die tonight
I’m aware of everything,
Except here and now what is happening
And I don’t, no, I won’t know my life is just passing me by
I’ve made it through some bad, bad things,
Yet I lie face down in the depths of the pain
Let it go, I say no, in the end just to ask myself why
Memories and dreams won’t last
But I keep trading in present moments for the future and the past
I’m traveling light, ‘Cause I know I might die tonight

underwater

Baby likes to hold her breath
when she’s playing in the water.
And everyday she times herself
to see how long she can stay under.
(and that’s a good thing)
Cause everybody knows that you’re a star
Everybody knows that you’ll go far
Everybody knows you’re gonna fly high
– keeper of the skies
But someone’s gonna try to hold you down
Under water ‘til they think you’ve drowned
And you gotta learn to hold your breath

Breathe a little deeper, breathe
And you can hold it longer while you are under
Breathe a little deeper, breathe
And you can hold it longer while you are under

Baby likes to hold her breath
when she’s playing in the water.
And everyday she times herself
to see how long she can stay under.

Cause everybody knows that you’re a star
Everybody knows that you’ll go far
Everybody knows you’re gonna fly high –
keeper of the skies
But someone’s gonna try to hold you down
Under water ‘til they think you’ve drowned
And you gotta learn to hold your breath
and resuscitate yourself.

intuition

My friend, obsequious and sly
When I look at you I look the devil in the eye
Bye-bye, when I’m through, I’m through
There’s nothing left to talk about
and nothing left for me to do
All my senses are working
Finally, hey now, hey now

Long ago, I began to hear my intuition
Fear not, the lights are on
Fear not, the spirit speaks

My friend, obsequious sly
When I look at you I look the devil in the eye
I see the evil in your heart
Every time you smile at me exposing who you are
Bye-bye, our business is done
Everything inside of me is
telling me you’re not the one
All my senses are working
Finally, hey now, hey now

Long ago, I began to hear my intuition
Doesn’t matter what it had to say to me
I knew I had to listen
Fear not, the lights are on
Fear not, the spirit speaks

my beautiful (co-written with Erik Sizemore)

I am yours. You are mine. We are one, unified
Hand in hand we shall charge
down the path traveled less
Back to back we will stand against that which we fear
As the stars light the way to our shared destiny
Like the moon up above you give light to the night
When I’m down for the count I know you’ll help
I stand firm as your friend and your true confidant
Count on me to be there when others are not

Don’t you know you are my beautiful
Can’t you see you define the word for me
Don’t you know you’re my only beautiful
Can’t you see just how much you mean to me

I have seen in your eyes such a wonderful place
How I long to be held within your tight embrace
Only you hold the key to our true destiny
I’m the one. Don’t you run.
Take my hand and you’ll see
That together we stand and together we’re free
I am strong. I am true. I am brave. I am yours
I’ll be there by your side no matter what comes
We are friends to the end I am part of your life

I’ll be there by your side no matter what comes
Through rain, through fire, down to the wire
You have one guarantee, that you’ll always have me
No matter where our lives shall lead
We are friends. We are one unified.
You’re my dream. You’re the one I desire
Wrap my soul. You’re my white-winged dove
If nothing else I have learned what is love
You’re my dream. You’re my love. You’re my lover
You’re the one in my heart that I want. 
There’s no other
Take my hand. I’m your girl. You’re my man.
We shall stand (back to back) we shall stand

Don’t you know you are my beautiful
Can’t you see you define the word for me
Don’t you know you’re my only beautiful
Can’t you see just how much you mean to me
