This song is for my wife, the story of our jorney, and the importance of trusting the one you love.

Verse 1
I remember it well; it was a warm Monday night
Beautiful melodies singing true, it felt like I was touching light
Then suddenly I looked around, and my eyes fell on you
And I lost my heart, to a smile so brand new

Chorus
So baby, I’m telling you right here now
You should take, this, chance on me
Because I could be everything you’ve dreamt of
So please, let me share your every night

Verse 2
You came in quietly; I didn’t know that you were there
My eyes were closed my head was down, How could anybody care
But then you shook me wide awake, with your warm and steady heart
You drove away the clouds I feel, I knew that we could never part

Chorus

Bridge

Verse 3
So that’s the story my love, I’m sitting here right next to you
Thank god from above, I always wished it would be true
You’re everything I need, it’s written in the stars
And if you tell me, I’ll be there right where you are

Chorus

Please Ask Me

A song of hope. Strength through diversity.

Chorus
We are all the same, just in different ways
So let me take you by the hand
We will journey to, place we never knew
Just take this chance and I’ll show you the way

Verse 1
The road is long and winding, with many paths to choose
But together we will make it through
I never imagined, we would be together
But now you’re here I’ve got nothing to lose

Verse 2
Let’s discover, you and me
So many things I’ve wanted to tell you
But all I ever needed, Was an opportunity
And I would grab it with all that I have

Verse 3
But life is not that easy, we are all led astray
I need you to look deep inside yourself
Maybe you already know, but baby if you don’t
Just look deep into my eyes, and you will know

Chorus

Journey With Me

Drums in the Night shows the struggles of addiction, and how powerless we often are to help the ones we love.

Verse 1
Early morning, sun just rising here
I know something about you, but it’s not quite clear
I try to hold your hand, you push me away
Broken bottles are cutting me, in more than one way

Verse 2
I’m finding it hard, just standing by
But you need to be the one, who questions why
These things take time, you know it’s true
But I’ll always be right here, loving you

Chorus
Because I don’t mind waiting in silence
I don’t mind being left alone
But I need you to stand up against the violence
The deafening roar of, Drums in the Night

Verse 3
When I look into your eyes I see it there
A shadow looming large but you don’t seem to care
So I need you to break these shackles now
There must be a silver lining, to this dark cloud

Chorus

Bridge

Verse 4
Then quite suddenly, you are gone from me
But I’m still hanging on, waiting patiently
For that day when you have, seen the light
And your eyes are shining, sparkling bright

Chorus

Drums in the Night

Take me away; there’s no light no cliché that can save me
Now that you’re gone, but my heart, still beats on
I don’t know….. For I’ll always need you
Honestly baby… Only you

Verse 2
Now I drifting, just the shell of the man, I should be
And just thinking, of moving on
Breaks me… For ill always need you
Honestly… Only you

Verse 3
Sorry baby, what words can I say?
To make a believer, as your faith fades away
I’m just a part of, an unfinished story
And there is a new heart…. Standing by

Chorus
Just for a moment, if you could find me
Oh how the sparks would fly
Just a dream though, and so much to fear so
I gotta get out of sight

Verse 4
I’ll be waiting, I don’t know why
The tears keep falling, ‘cause I don’t wanna cry
With memories fading, your heart will discover
There’s so much more, than you and I

Chorus

So much more…..than you and I

So much more than you and I

So Much More Than You And I

South africa is going through tough times, and there is so much hate. Steady love attempts to show that steady and consistent love is what really makes the difference.

Verse 1
Baby, I see the fear inside of you
Through that look on your face
It seems we live deep in a nightmare
With a pressure I cannot take
So I’m calling out for a helping hand
To save me from myself
There must be more, more to this reality
That stand above all else
I’m talking bout a , steady love

Chorus

Verse 2
We spend our time, searching for more you see
But never satisfied
Lost in the hustle and bustle of everything
Gone right before your eyes
What is it that we all truly need
Craving answers from above
You will find when all is said and done
That its more than enough
For all we need is, some steady love

Chorus

Bridge

Verse 3
Youthful eyes, with anger burning bright
Hate running through our veins
And we all need a moment, some clarity
To realize we’re all the same
So I beg you see me, here I am
Finally
Friends not foes, together we stand
And I promise you all you’ll ever need
Is that steady love

Chorus

Steady Love

A song about betrayal and regret. Sometimes you can't right the wrong

Verse 1
Never wanna know now, because it’s just too hard to bear
I’m love drunk baby, and I don’t care
The rain is coming now, to refresh my weary soul
Lost in sweet emotion, don’t ever let me go

Chorus

All I ever wanted, was to fall on my feet
What are the chances baby, I’m in too deep
All I ever needed, was to see you smile
To make you laugh, just for a little while

Verse 2
Never wanna know now, because the writings on the wall
My body won’t stop shaking; it makes no sense at all
I wish for one more chance, to save us, from the cold
I’m sorry I just can’t take this, your hair the colour of gold

Chorus

Bridge
Searching for you, all I want is slowly drifting away
Lost to temptation, hearts breaking and I have no more words left to say
Mistakes paint my heart black, and all that left for me is to fade away

Verse 3
There’s nothing I can say, there’s nothing I can do
I’m so so sorry baby, how could I do this to you
So if it’s our time to part, I promise I’ll walk away
But believe me now, I’ll love you always

Chorus

No Words

A story of a search for purpose, and how commitment and dedication are fundamental to our journey.

Verse 1
I sitting here searching for meaning
I’m conflicted in my heart
How am I supposed to know?
Where should I even start?

Verse 2
Countless men have been preaching, constant whispers in my ear
But if the truth is inside, it’s surrounded my fear

Chorus
Lord I’ve been searching for you
And I’ve got nothing to lose
Why are you so hard to find
Though there is ceaseless wonder
I cower at the thunder
Doubtful voices, oh how they fill my mind
Verse 3
Right now I’m so confused, and I don’t know what to do
You see a leap of faith, is so hard to choose
I need to start anew

Chorus

Bridge

Verse 4
And now I come to realization
That a world so full of sin
Matters not to your heart
All you must do is begin
So now I must take a chance on your glory
And moving mountains will seem
Like nothing at all
I’m not afraid of the fall

Chorus
Lord I’ve been searching for you
And now I’m ready to choose, why did it take me so long
Now I stand with no fear inside, ready to fall
I promise I’m all yours

Leap of Faith

Leap Of Faith

Love knows no bounds. This song is a tribute to all those that have found happiness. Regardless of race, colour, orientation or creed.

Verse 1
I have spent my whole life waiting
And I’ve been losing my mind
Carelessly, know what I’m saying
It’ll get you every time
And if I’m honest what are you doing
Right here with me
All I know is, you can have whatever you need

Verse 2
I got energy all through my body
There’s a buzzing in the air
Hand in hand no hidden agenda
I can just proudly declare
Love is love, and no one can touch us 
I’ll be all you need
Now and forever, just you and me

Verse 3
And as I look out to the horizon
My son and stars is all I see
Taking on a new life together
Side by side you can count on me
And as the new daylight comes calling
I can finally be set free
My heart, always, laid right at your feet

Always

Young love. Desperate and naive.

Verse 1
I’m sitting here, in my cold dark old apartment
And all that I can smell, is you beautiful perfume
I sit down in my armchair, and lay my head to rest
I try to get the words of our song out of my head
Our song out of my head

Chorus
Because all I ever wanted, was to fall asleep with you
All I ever needed was to see you, light up the room
All I ever dreamed of, I wish it could be true
Because all that I can think about, is how much I care for you
How much I love you

Verse 2
The setting sunlight sparkles, on a tear I can’t explain
All the joying memories are running through my brain
I catch a glimpse, of your beautiful dark brown eyes
And it makes me believe, that I could touch the sky

Chorus

Bridge
The shadows are growing longer
The ice is feeling thin
My hands begin to tremble
And I give in

Verse 3
I sitting in the darkness, with one thing on my mind
How I envy, the innocence of time
The tears are really flowing, there’s something you should know
That I would give my life, just to see your smile grow
Your smile grow

Chorus

Time Ends Everything

The fruitless nature of fame and fortune

Verse 1
She take the midnight, train to L.A
Chasing the dreams, of hope and decay
Just an illusion, a sweet masquerade
And as the light dims, her memory will, fade away

Verse 2
Fairy-tale stories, of a princess in white
But reality takes, control of the fight
So lift up your voice, in sweet harmony
The hole in your heart, will heal, mercifully

Verse 3
Open up your eyes, what can I say?
Your beauty overwhelms, you take my breath away
Softly the wind blows, just like before
In the still of the night, thousands of angels, heading the call
