This is based on my stepson Josh, who used to play "Halo" with his friends online until 3 AM, even while he was in college. Afterwards, he joined the Navy and trained on different planes and helicopters and now he's far away and flies these huge birds. His mother and I are so proud of him.  And of course, there's a quick "laud" to his wife who stands by his side and is equally proud of him.

Lyrics
"From Gamer to Pilot"

[Verse 1]
In the glow of the screen at 3AM,  
Josh battled foes, never thought it was the end.  
From late night games to college dreams,  
Now he’s soaring high, or so it seems.

Oh Josh, you’ve gone so far,  
Reaching for the shining stars!

[Chorus]
Josh, you make us proud, oh yes, it’s true,  
From gamer nights to skies so blue.  
In every mission, love and honor stand,  
Forever you’ll be our brave Navy man!

[Verse 2]
With Shannon cheering, by his side,  
He took to the skies, full of pride.  
Flying helicopters over the sea,  
Oh how brave and bold he’ll always be.

Through every storm, you stay bright,  
A hero in your own right!

[Chorus]
Josh, you make us proud, oh yes, it’s true,  
From gamer nights to skies so blue.  
In every mission, love and honor stand,  
Forever you’ll be our brave Navy man!

[Outro]
Though distance may keep us apart,  
You’ll always be here in my heart.

Together As One

Together in the fight, we rise as one, 
United through the struggles, we get it done. 
Finding better ways to break through the noise, 
With respect for all, we celebrate our joys.

[Bridge]
Moving forward, hand in hand, 
Positive vibes, we make our stand.

Working as one, we’re reaching for the sky, 
Finding better ways, we’ll soar and fly. 
Respect for all, let our voices ring, 
In unity we thrive, it's our anthem we sing!

[Verse 2]
Assuming good intent, let trust ignite, 
In each other's hearts, we shine so bright. 
Doing the right thing, we've got the flow, 
Together we'll conquer, together we'll grow.

[Bridge]
This journey’s ours, let’s take that leap, 
In this bond we share, the goal we’ll keep.

Working as one, we’re reaching for the sky, 
Finding better ways, we’ll soar and fly. 
Respect for all, let our voices ring, 
In unity we thrive, it's our anthem we sing!

In this dream we build, we reach for the prize.

Never Ending Grace Promo

This song is about how we all live, love, and unfortunately must face pain in our lives. It's inevitable. And even though we may not know the answers to questions, we can be at peace, knowing things unfold according to God's plan if we just have faith.  It's also a testament to family and friends who are always there when we face those trials and tribulations.

Lyrics 
"Unanswered Questions"

[Verse 1]
In this life we lead, there’s a rhythm we dance.  Moments of joy, we take the chance.

Yet shadows of pain can darken our way.  Still, in our hearts, we find light to stay.

Weather the storm, with hope as our guide.

[Chorus]
Through the laughter and tears, we hold on tight. With family and friends, we find our light. 

Though pain may arrive, we won't walk alone. In this journey of life, we always find hope.

[Verse 2]
Every question we ask, sometimes goes unanswered. Love surrounds us, through the nights that are bantered.

With every tear shed, we grow, and we learn, Trust in His timing, for the tables will turn.

Faith brings us strength, when the path is unclear.

[Chorus]
Through the laughter and tears, we hold on tight. With family and friends, we find our light.

Though pain may arrive, we won't walk alone. In this journey of life, we always find hope.

[Outro]
So let it unfold, trust in His plan.

Through all of it, together we stand. . .In this life we lead, there’s a rhythm we dance. Moments of joy, we take the chance.

Yet shadows of pain can darken our way. Still, in our hearts, we always find hope.

Unanswered Questions

This song is about a girl who used to be caring and kind.  She was also really smart. But the older she got, the more she looked down the end of her nose at others.  Her friends, family, and everyone who ever helped her out suddenly became useless. So she abandoned them all emotionally.  Then, when she entered the workforce for the first time, with that same attitude,  she learned a really tough lesson;  if you treat people badly, you're going to be on your own. No one will help you once they figure out you're a user.  And when you can't fit in with others, you'll be out on the street, alone. In this case, co-workers left a broken crown on her desk on the day she was fired, mocking her for thinking she was a queen and acting like they were all her servants.  Maybe one day she'll learn that she should treat others with respect, caring, kindness, and love, the way others treated her before she became high and mighty, or what folks in the country might call, 'snooty'.  

[Lyrics]
She Abandoned Herself

[Verse 1]
She was a star in every class, so bright,  
Numbers danced like fireflies at night.  
Sweet laughter echoed down the halls,  
But now that joy is lost in her walls.

Once held hands with hope, now closed tight,  
A sky so clear, now a storm in flight.

[Chorus]
Oh, where did the girl with a heart go?  
Now she's just shadows, lost in the show.  
Isolation, wreckage of her own design,  
Once so sweet, now she’s crossed the line.

[Verse 2]
She climbed the peaks, now she looks down low,  
Forgot the roots where her kind heart used to grow.  
She shut the door on love, left it far behind,  
In her castle of pride, she's lost her mind.

A queen on a throne made of greed,  
Forgets that love's the only need.

[Chorus]
Oh, where did the girl with a heart go?  
Now she's just shadows, lost in the show.  
Isolation, wreckage of her own design,  
Once so sweet, now she’s crossed the line.

[Outro]
In the silence, she'll find her alone,  
With all her brilliance, she's lost her home.
   

She Abandoned Herself

[Lyrics]
Lonely Souls At Midnight


[Verse 1]
In the corner of the bar, I hear their sighs,
Whispers of the heart, where the silence lies.

Faces pass me by, shadows of despair,
Searching for a sign in the cold night air.

Why do we seek comfort in the unknown?

[Chorus]
So many lonely souls out in the night,
Reaching out for warmth, for a spark of light.

But in the heavy silence, they feel so lost,
Trying to find a home, no matter the cost.

[Verse 2]
Every phone call rings, it's a lonely tune,
Tales of broken dreams beneath the silver moon.

They reach for my hand, though we’ve never met,
In a world full of noise, they’re drowning in regret.

Just a stranger’s smile can ease the pain.

[Chorus]
So many lonely souls out in the night,
Reaching out for warmth, for a spark of light.

But in the heavy silence, they feel so lost,
Trying to find a home, no matter the cost.

[Outro]
We’re all just searching for a way to feel,  
In this world of shadows, can the heart heal?


Lonely Souls At Midnight

Wedding Song For My Love


In your eyes, my heart finds a home
 Where love resides, and I am never alone

With every beat, my soul sings your name 
 In your touch, I find my forever flame

With you, my love, our hearts beat as one
 Forever with you, shining bright as the sun

Your love is my haven - it's my peaceful place 
  Where fears fade awaaaaaaaaaay . . . and love fills the spaaaaaaace 

With you, my love, I am free to be. . .
 Myself without masks - yet wild and carefree

In your gentle arms, I find my guide 
 Leading me through life's journey, we walk,  side by side

Together, we dance, beneath starry skies
 With every step, our love hits higher highs

Just like a lullaby, our love echoes near 
 A soothing melody that calms all fear

Our hearts beating as one, a rhythm so true  
my love . . . I now promise to always love you


Wedding Song - For My Love

The Wedding Song For My Love

[Lyrics]
Baby Girl

This is a song about how proud a mother and I are of her daughter and now, since we're miles apart, we miss her. 
It's done in the style of K-pop group "Black-Pink", but this is sung by an all-girl anime group called, "White-Purple".
Enjoy.

[Intro]
Jenna-Lynn, oh how the palm trees sway,
 Jenna-Lynn, shines like the sun's first ray.

[Verse 1]
In the islands where the palm trees sway,
 Jenna-Lynn shines like the sun's first ray.

From a little girl with a heart so bright,
 To a driven woman chasing dreams in flight.

Oh, the years have come and gone,
 But in our hearts your laughter lingers on.

[Chorus]
Jenna-Lynn, oh how we miss you so,
 Across the miles our love will always show.

Though we're far apart, we're proud of all you’ve done,
 You’re our heart, our daughter, our only one.

[Verse 2}
Remember days, taking you to school,
 A straight "A" student following every rule.

To band concerts, track meets and dances you'd go.
 Yet focused on your future, and the life you now know.

Now you're grown, with the world at your feet,
 But you’re still our baby girl, so kind and sweet.

[Chorus]
Jenna-Lynn, oh how we miss you so,
 Across the miles our love will always show.

Though we're far apart, we're proud of all you’ve done,
 You’re our heart . . . our daughter . . . our only one.

[Outro]
Jenna-Lynn, oh how we miss you so,
 Across the miles our love will always show.
Though we're far apart, we're proud of all you’ve done,
 You’re our heart . . . our daughter . . . our only one.

Baby Girl

I think there are a LOT of men and women out there who have felt stuck, trapped, empty and alone; even while being right next to someone else.  Someone who for whatever reason can't or won't give you what you need to feel alive.  If they were cheaters or liars, then maybe leaving would be easy. But what if it's someone whose just "broken" and you realize you can't "fix" them, no matter how hard you've tried?  What if that someone doesn't even comprehend what it means to be close, to be emotionally intimate with you without saying or doing something to sabotage things? And when do you call it quits and escape? A year? 5 years? A decade, or how about 13 years?  13 years of knowing the day they they married you, that it was because they thought you were a nice person, maybe someone who could provide, while at the same time, feeling NO PASSION for you, because they are still in love with the GHOST of someone they have promoted to sainthood when they pass away? A person can't compete against ghosts. Or the continuing thoughts and feelings for someone else, while they are right there in front of you.  This song addresses the need to break free when YOU KNOW, in your heart, 100%, that this person will never change, because they CAN'T -- because they're broken.  

[Lyrics]
Survival Instinct 

[Verse1]
I’ve been planning my escape, gotta break these chains,  
Cleaning out the memory, all the hurt and pains.  
Her scars run deep, too deep to mend,  
But Intimacy's like air to me, and she just can’t comprehend.  
  
[Prechorus1]
I’ve given my all, but I’m fading away,  
Her ghosts are her captives, I can’t take away.  
I need to remember my heart has a voice,  
And breaking these chains is my only choice.  

[Chorus]  
More than a decade of rejection, is just too much,  
Resentment fills my heart, for a stranger I can't touch.  
Friends and family, please don't judge, just understand my plea,  
It's my survival instinct that's driving me to break free.  

  
[Verse2]
She was too young to resist, too broken to be whole,  
I thought love could fix her heart, now it’s crushing my soul.  
She's stuck with the memories that haunt her everyday,  
All the ghosts of her past have locked her heart away.  

  
[Prechorus2]
God knows I don't blame her, for all she had to endure.  
But she's an unemotional taker, and I deserve so much more.  
No more ties to the broken, no more tears to release,  
I’m ready to run, to finally find peace.  

  
[Chorus}
More than a decade of rejection, it's just too much,  
Resentment fills my heart, for a stranger I can't touch.  
Friends and family, please don't judge, just understand my plea,  
It's my survival instinct that's driving me to break free.  

  
[Bridge]
I need a brand-new start, a life that feels alive,  
I can’t compete with the ghosts she won’t let go; I need to survive.  

[Outro]  
I’m leaving the shadows, stepping into the dawn,  
The weight of her ghosts will be forever gone.  
A brand-new horizon, a place to begin,  
I’m planning my escape, it’s my peace that I WIN!

Survival Instinct

I'm just creating music with the tools I have at my disposal, hoping the stories I weave will resonate with others. I have multiple albums out there.  "It's All About Family", is a collection of songs specifically for family members. "Songs from the Heart" is the start of my wife's album, since she's been bitten by the artistic bug.  I also have an album called, "Melodic MishMash", which are songs that weren't really for public consumption, that I needed a place to put.   Finally, the album that I am working on now, is my first country album, called, "Unloading Zone".  Please click "Library" to pull up each album and have a listen.  I'd also love any feedback.  Thanks.
