I wrote this song after I finished read the Great Gatsby around the summer of 2012. Hope you enjoy it

The Green Light

This is a song I wrote on a mission trip in New Orleans

Our True Value

This is a song I wrote about my fears of going off to college and losing my faith.

Lyrics:
There’s lots of sun here in Texas
There’s a few bright minds here too
I don’t much mind the distance
Only the distance from you

I’m told to open up my mind
I’m told to practice couth
But if I go and leave my home
Will I leave the truth?

I’ve been told my whole life,
You got a brain kids wish they had
My head’s always felt pretty heavy
But I don’t look anything like my dad
It’s not that I’m afraid
It’s more I’m just terrified
If I go and leave my home
Will I believe their lies?

Yeah there’s lots of sun here in Texas
And there’s rain to make the grass grow
I don’t much like cold weather
But I know that I’ll like the snow

I know I’m only rambling
I know it’s an excuse
But I still struggle sometimes
To see my use

Oh God don’t leave me
When I feel forsaken
It won’t be the end of things
It’ll just set my foundation shaking
I don’t know why I’m so scared
I know you will always be there
Yeah I’m pretty weak
But your Spirit didn’t give me all this fear

Oh there’s lots of sun here in Texas
I always thought the sun was here too
I guess they were right about my mindset
I guess I should open it up to You
