Lyrics
Verse 1
Old man, hold my hand
and tell me a story 
of a boy, and all the joy 
Yeah….

Chorus 1
Walking down the street 
You’re so out of reach
and everyone passes by
with stars in their eyes

Verse 2
Sitting at the lake
Watching the waves crash in
Come on hold my hand
One more time
Old man, hold my hand
and tell me one more story
when you were a boy 

Chorus 2
Walking down the street
You seem so out of reach
Come take my hand 
Try to understand
Walking down the street
You seem so out of reach

Outro
You seem so out of reach
Please come take my hand 
And try to understand 
Stars in your eyes
You’re so out of reach
Stars in your eyes
And no one can be reached
Stars in your eyes 
Try to understand

My Light Looks Dim Tonight

Be with me

exhilarate
(mixed media artwork by: Luke C.)

we wake up early and the 
day has yet to break
we pack our treasured things
I don’t know what to take
we hike through the prairie full of
blue eyed grass and rye
and set up cameras 
and wait for brilliant skies

dawn has led us here
daylight drawing near
dusk will come to dress us all
in black and stir our fears
dawn can ruin our shot
day can ruin our shot
dusk can ruin our shot
we may as well shoot what we’ve got

I switch from from my breaker to my
parka after while
you notice me shiver and you
giggle and we smile
a sip of my coffee and the
sound of distant trains
and race for the shelter
when the clouds pour down their rains

dawn has led us here
daylight drawing near
dusk will come to dress us all
in black and stir our fears
dawn can ruin our shot
day can ruin our shot
dusk can ruin our shot
we may as well shoot what we’ve got

Exhilarate

LYRICS
Verse1
You can’t go back.
There’s no time machine.
Those days are gone.

Yesterday’s problems, water
Over the dam.
Let them drift along.

Verse2
Looking back,
We could stumble,
And not see,
The good things ahead.

Keep the darkness,
Behind us,
And follow the light instead

Chorus
Can’t go back.
You can’t go back.
Can’t go back.
You can’t go back.
Let’s change our ways.

Can’t go back.
You can’t go back.
Can’t go back.
You can’t go back.
Forgive me today.

Verse3
Grew up in a small town,
That changed in many ways.
Parents, neighbors, and friends,
Moved or passed away.

Verse4
You can’t go back.
Life moves too fast.
Let it run its course.

Can’t undo the past.
It’s set in stone.
Forgive. Have no remorse.

Fading in My Mind
Memories held dear
The whispers disappear
Will I remember
Will I remember.

Acheter/Buy

No. I'm not going anywhere.  Not today, at least. ;-)  This track felt a little wistful at times.  Like you feel when it finally starts to cool down at night in the fall and you begin thinking that summer is taking down its tent for the year.  A time to say Adios Verano.

Adios Verano

Beat by Faby beats
Lyrics and Vocals AA

Saving The night is about how love can change how you react and see life, Its about the power love has to change things. As i wrote this I was inspired by my relationship with God and also my relationship with my wife and my daughter and how their love fills my life.

Saving The Night

Ever wonder if intelligent life from other planets will ever visit us? And if so, would they enjoy some Prog Sci-fi/Jazz/Rock? Me neither, but that's what this song decided it wanted to be.
I also made a fun video to go with it -

I have been passionately creating music for a considerable amount of time. My vibe is mainly Rap, Rock and Pop. My purpose in writing music goes beyond mere entertainment. I am driven to compose songs that serve as a source of encouragement, inspiration, and upliftment, carrying a message of hope deeply rooted in the truth that Jesus died for the sins of man. Through my music, I strive to share my personal journey and experiences, revealing how Jesus is an integral part of my life and the creative process.
