Ray of Light 02:34
Ray of light, how you shine Take the night by storm Heart so full, love so pure How will we keep warm? Dull and gray, Heaven can't wait Illuminate the sky

Chorus: Will they ever know how much I loved them The tears that I cried and the fun that I had It's sad when I think that they may never know it But some days I long for the house on Grand. The poet I knew used to sing us his dreams In radiant hues of the moon and the sun The warrior learned how to wear his armor To wield his sword and to bear his shield Chorus: Will they ever know how much I loved them The tears that I cried and the fun that I had It's sad when I think that they may never know it But some days I long for the house on Grand. The littlest boat found the safest harbor A fortress strong from the wind and the waves The eagle learned how to soar on the same wind And when she grew strong, did she fly away Away, away, away Chorus: Will they ever know how much I loved them The tears that I cried and the fun that I had It's sad when I think that they may never know it But some days I long for the house on Grand.

All My Best 05:18
The alcohol is strong Mistress whose shoes I can't fill She doesn't love you as much as I do, and I do I thought I could be strong But my arms can't lift this load Pray for you with tears and hope God hears He loves you more than I do I sure tried my best, He'll do the rest I tried my best Tried my best I wish you peace I wish you love I wish you rest I wish you all my best All my best

Soulmate 04:57
I think about you all the time ‘Been praying for you since I was a child Thought I had found you many times But I was wrong, though it made me strong You've made appearances in my dreams Though I couldn't really see your face And I didn't even know your name But I love you more each day And I've dreamed about my daughter but I don't know how she got there I imagine and I hope that it was you And I've dreamed of earthquakes, forest fires, tidal waves and hurricanes But the one where we walk hand in hand makes me want to fall asleep again. And are you here right now, listening to me sing in front of all these people? When will it be just you and me? Can dreams come true or am I just crazy? I know you'll find me 'cause I'm the one With the neon sign on my heart, and it says "open" You can't miss it But don't expect me to hand it over You're asking the impossible How can I give you my heart when it's already yours? It's already yours. I'm already yours. I'm spoken for. I'm already yours. And are you here right now?

This is fun and this is new I think I’m in love with you People say that it’s too soon, But I can’t wait to start with you I feel I know you already, the rest are technicalities We have a life to learn these things, But right now I just want your ring And I ain’t got no time to waste So kiss me with your face I’m no good at slow moving Please forgive my lightning speed If I’m asleep don’t wake me from this dream You bridge the gap from heart to head So now let’s get to know my bed Oh yeah you heard me, yes that’s what I said That’s what I said Let’s do this now, yeah, let’s make haste Why don’t you show me how you taste ‘Cause I ain’t got no time to waste So kiss me with your face This is fun and this is new, I think I’m in love with you People say that it’s too soon, But I can’t wait to start with you

Unexpected 04:35
A wise man from the east Drove west to the sea Sharing poetry and shining bright The star that brought him here was brilliant but I fear A waning flicker next to his light How unexpected, how he affected So many things When least expected, my heart’s protected He had the key And then we danced all night He’s good at stopping time I said “hear me sing” He said “just kiss me” How unexpected, how he affected So many things He changed the game, I’m not the same He rescued me His old soul haunting me Paying visits in my sleep Please remember me, returning to the east He came this far and raised the bar Now I can see How unexpected, how he affected So many things None will compare, none hold a candle to his light Now I can see

All Ways 03:45
Always in a rush Always in a line Always finish first Always far behind Always have a way to go Always have the time Always have a dime to spare and Always out of my mind Always ask for help Always need Divine Always looking both ways Always running blind Always on the straight and narrow and All the roads divide Always into heart and arrow and Always out of my mind But I'm never alone Always feeling far away Always feeling fine Always, never, right away Always hit rewind Always in the dirt Always head up high Always have the light on and Always out of my mind But I'm never alone

Unauthorized 03:06
She’s so fun and so sweet And everything I hate about a girl you would like more than me. I guess I’ll get used to seeing you happy. Still it makes me sad. That’s the truth. I’m probably stupid for feeling this way My opinion’s unauthorized in so many ways But if there’s a chance you might care what I say She’s good. Good for you. I should be proud of you. Being grown up is a hard road to take. I know that I’ll get there someday, and I’d say She’s good. Good for you. I’m probably wasting my breath with every word I say And I’m not entitled to think it matters anyway But if there’s hope of you hearing me today She’s good!

Second Wind 04:59
Sleep is deep but full of haunted dreams I thank God not all of them came true Dreams that thin my will Ones that break the bridge that leads to you I forgot the sky was bright and blue Bursting through the swollen clouds, I see it now, I see it now I trudge through trails and twists Deciding to relax my blistered fists So I drop my bags and look upon the road I came here on And rest my calloused feet and fevered limbs And in the sun I recognize, the road ahead is really not so long But I might need some help to find my second wind Hope is the fierce fire in your eyes Fury of belief, well, it inspires me. Blow into the suffocated embers of my heart Ignite my heart So how do I explain the way these blessings overflow My rags are in the laundry and my cup is getting full You brought me through the crossroads When I thought I had no friends And propped me up to find my second wind A song is on my lips and now it’s time to sing again And breath in deep, I found my second wind My second wind

about

The title track “Second Wind” is about getting to a resting point in the sometimes grueling adventure of life, and pondering what’s behind, but remaining open to what’s ahead. To get to that point, we often have to lean on the help of others, and sometimes, it is their faith that carries us when we have none. I came out of a decade of dark times and difficult lessons, and will never be able to express enough gratitude for those who “propped me up, to find my second wind”.
