Sometimes the person you love the most is the one God removes for your protection.
She walked out fast, but I walked out wiser.
Pain shaped me, but healing rebuilt me.
It’s okay, mama… I rise from here.

ITS OKAY MAMA

At 3 AM when your mind won't stop running—replaying every failure, every hurt, every argument—there comes a moment when you catch yourself. 

This song is about that moment.

"Get Your Head Right" draws on 2,500-year-old wisdom: your mind writes the first verse of your life. What you feed it determines what grows. The Blues has always known this—now The William Altig Choir makes it plain.

What are you thinking about tonight?

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning with my troubles on my mind
Said I woke up this morning, troubles heavy on my mind
Been thinking hateful thoughts all night
Now I'm falling way behind

[Chorus]
'Cause your mind writes the first verse
Your hands just play along
Yeah, your mind writes the first verse, baby
Your hands just play along
Better get your head right, honey
Or your whole life's a sad, sad song

[Verse 2]
I was cursing at my enemies while laying in my bed
Reliving every wrong they done, playing movies in my head
Didn't raise my hand, didn't make a sound
But I poisoned myself instead

[Chorus]
'Cause your mind writes the first verse
Your hands just play along
Yeah, your mind writes the first verse, baby
Your hands just play along
Better get your head right, honey
Or your whole life's a sad, sad song

[Bridge]
The wheel follows the ox, the ox don't follow the wheel
What you're thinking 'fore you move is what you're gonna feel
Your shadow sticks to you from morning until night
So fill your mind with kindness if you want to walk in light

[Verse 3]
Three in the morning, phone glowing in the dark
Replaying every failure, every miss, every mark
But I caught myself this time—I know how this thing goes
What I'm feeding in my head is what my tomorrow grows

[Chorus]
So your mind writes the first verse
And the body sings the tune
Yeah, your mind writes the first verse, baby
Body just sings the tune
Better get your head right, honey
Or your whole life's a sad, sad song

[Outro]
What are you thinking about tonight?
'Cause that's what tomorrow's made of.
Get your head right.
Everything else follows.

Get Your Head Right

Confessions is the sound of what it costs to obey.

This EP captures the mental warfare, spiritual pressure, and emotional exhaustion behind building Avodah Dynamics—a vision formed in prayer, refined through resistance, and sustained by faith when results were slow and affirmation was absent.

These songs are not performances; they are admissions.
Late-night thoughts wrestled into submission.
Doubts spoken honestly.
Faith chosen daily, not effortlessly.

Confessions walks through the internal journey of a builder—navigating fear, responsibility, surrender, grace, and resolve. From battling the mind (Mind Games), to owning personal fault (I Know It’s Me), to releasing control (My Way), to encountering mercy (Still You Stayed), and finally standing firm in obedience (If They Don’t Hear Me, When the World Tells You No).

This project exists for anyone creating something God placed in them—while feeling unseen, unheard, and stretched beyond comfort. It speaks to the quiet perseverance required when the world says “no,” progress feels invisible, and the only affirmation comes from knowing God hears you.

Confessions is not about success.
It’s about faithfulness.

If the world doesn’t hear us—
God does.

And we keep going.
