Coffee Shops & Laptops

Verse 1

Sometimes you feel like there’s no way out
A world too big and filled with doubt
But there’s a spark inside you, bright as the sun
You’re stronger than you know, and you’ve just begun

Pre-Chorus

You can write the story, you can change the rules
Open up your vision, the future’s up to you

Chorus

Cause it’s your reality, no one can take it from you
Every dream’s within your reach, if you believe it’s true
You decide your destiny, the power’s in your hands
No matter where you start, you choose where you’ll land
It’s your reality—go claim what you can do

Verse 2

When fear knocks on your door, don’t let it in
You’ve got the heart to fight and the will to win
The voice inside that says “You’ve got this” is right
Take one step forward, step into the light

Pre-Chorus

No mountain too tall, no vision too grand
When you feel the call, that’s where you’ll stand

Chorus (repeat)

Cause it’s your reality, no one can take it from you
Every dream’s within your reach, if you believe it’s true
You decide your destiny, the power’s in your hands
No matter where you start, you choose where you’ll land
It’s your reality—go claim what you can do

Bridge

Don’t let the outside noise drown out your inner flame
You’re the one who writes your script—no two stories are the same
Focus on the horizon, let hope guide your way
Stand tall in your purpose, tomorrow starts today

Final Chorus

It’s your reality, no one can take it from you
Every dream’s within your reach, if you believe it’s true
You decide your destiny, the power’s in your hands
No matter where you start, you choose where you’ll land
It’s your reality—so go on and shine through

Outro

Yes, it’s your reality—go claim what you can do
Stand up and make it real—‘cause it all begins with you

It’s your reality

Where the Birds Don't Go

"Mountains" is a reflective folk ballad about distance, growth, and the quiet ache of missing someone you love. Written in the wake of personal upheaval, the song speaks to the bittersweet beauty of change. With gentle acoustic textures and honest lyrics, 'Mountains' is a letter left unsent, a moment frozen in the fog of what was and what could have been.

Echoes of a Promise

Lyrics..

I go where the quiet runs deep
Where the willow leans and grasses sleep
No one watches or asks why
I let the river see my cry

Oh my heart, it breaks forever
With the field of gentle air
It doesn’t need, nor does it want
It just holds me like a child

I sit where stones forget the rain
And the cold unfreezes pain
The sky bends low to touch my knees
The wind forgives what I can't please

Oh my heart, it breaks forever
With the field of gentle air
It doesn’t need, nor does it want
It just holds me like a child

The water speaks, I do not know
Of things I lost, of letting go
Not every wound is meant to mend
Some just soften with a friend

Oh my heart, it breaks forever
With the field of gentle air
It doesn’t need, nor does it want
It just holds me like a child

I used to fear the great unknown
But now I trust in where I go
The current knows what I can’t see
It pushes me and lets me be

Oh my heart, it breaks forever
With the feel of gentle air
It doesn’t need, nor does it want
It just holds me like a child

So if you find me near the stream
Don’t wake me from this quiet dream
I’ve found the time where I stay kind
Where water feeds what’s left behind

Oh my heart, it breaks forever
With the feel of gentle air
It doesn’t need, nor does it want
It just holds me like a child

Weep t child
weep t child
weep t child..

Quiet Runs Deep

What if I wasn't here anymore?

A cinematic country ballad with soulful depth and Celtic grace, “Thread & Flame” tells the story of a daughter reflecting on her mother’s quiet strength. Blending warm fingerpicked guitar, expressive fiddle with Celtic ornamentation, and ambient textures, the song honors a woman who left a broken home to protect her child and build a better life. With haunting melodies and whispered harmonies, it unfolds like memory—fragile, spiritual, and deeply human. A tribute to love that unravels to rebuild, and burns gently to light the way.

Thread & Flame

Broken glass

“My Patient Tears” is a heartfelt ballad about identity, resilience, family, and unconditional love. With intimate verses and a soaring chorus, it captures the quiet ache of waiting to be seen and accepted by those closest to us (in this case - children of transgender parents). Built around a strong female vocal, the song balances raw vulnerability with strength, weaving tender acoustic guitar, warm piano, and gentle strings into a timeless soundscape. Both deeply personal and universal, “Patient Tears” is a story of holding space for love, even through silence and distance.
