====[ LYRICS ]====

[Verse 1]
I’ve worn my flaws like second skin
Hid what I felt, kept it locked within  
But I’m tired of shadows, tired of shame  
I need your light to show me the way  

I spoke like I had all the answers
But silence was my only prayer  
Now I kneel, heart laid bare—  
Jehovah, are you there?  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Not just stronger, but guided by love  
Not just calm, but trusting your plan  
Not just kind, but shaped by your hand  
You see the heart beneath the scars  
Let me be better—just as I am  

[Verse 2]
I’ve wandered roads that led me home
To where your voice is soft but known  
When I was numb, still you were near  
Your mercy louder than my fear  

I’ve read your word through weary eyes
Each verse a whisper, a call to rise  
So here I am, not proud, just true—  
I want to walk each step with you  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Less of my will, more of your cause  
Let me reflect what patience can be  
Show your compassion working in me  
You see the soul I’ve tried to guard  
Let me be better—Jehovah, my God  

[Bridge]
I won’t pretend I haven’t strayed
But you forgive when I’ve confessed and prayed  
No crown, no worth of my own to boast  
Just grace enough to hold you close  

[Final Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Lifted by undeserved love  
Let every failure become my prayer  
Every tear, a step toward care  
You’re not done with me—this I trust  
Let me be better than I was

LYRICS

The voices are sounding off again
I wonder where they are now
Inside or outside...I'm not sure 
I make a silent vow

Chorus
This place has its ups and downs
The people here look after me
They are always around
To make sure the voices do no harm, from outside or within
If i'm a good boy... and do as I'm told I'll be home again

Verse 2
Today is visitors day, yet my family sees me less and less
I wonder about them as the days go by
Do they remember me at my best?
The pills lined up come out on time
Keep me numb...by design.

Chorus
This place has its ups and downs
The people here look after me
They are always around
To make sure the voices do no harm, from outside or within
If i'm a good boy... and do as I'm told I'll be home again

Verse 3
The bird I watch at my windowsill is my only friend
There's an understanding with he and I
I don't have to pretend
One day...I'll be as free as him
I can only hope
Until that time comes, my pills... will help me cope

Chorus
This place has its ups and downs
The people here look after me
They are always around
To make sure the voices do no harm, from outside or within
If i'm a good boy... and do as I'm told I'll be home again

Committed

A stripped acoustic ballad about longing and belonging. Just three voices and one guitar – naked and beautiful.

Take Me Home

Momma’s Butterfly Breeze

[Structure & Flow]

Silence… a single breath. Then voices emerge like dawn breaking over water — one, then many.

⸻

I. The First Breath — “Be Still”
(single low voice, slow tempo)
I am here.
I am breathing.
I am the breath becoming.
I am the stillness before sound.

⸻

II. The Awakening — “I Am Thankful”
(second voice enters, higher, echoing)
I am thankful…
I am thankful…
I am thankful for this air.
I am thankful for this time.

(third and fourth voices layer in — overlapping rounds)
I am thankful for the light,
I am thankful for the night.
I am thankful for my heart,
I am thankful for my sight.

(soft percussion pulse begins — heartbeat rhythm, deep and slow)

⸻

III. The Rising — “All Becomes One”
(group chant, gathering strength)
I am thankful.
You are thankful.
We are thankful.
All is thankful.

(voices swirl left to right in stereo, creating the sense of a circular motion — like planets orbiting)

I am thankful (whispered).
I am thankful (sung).
I am thankful (spoken).
I am thankful (felt).

(music begins to build — a shimmering pad of sound, faint bells, the heartbeat grows faster)

⸻

IV. The Transition — “Becoming”
(single voice leads — same key as Song of Thankful Being intro)
From breath to word, from silence to sound,
Gratitude becomes the ground.
Step into this moment bright —
Love is seeing through the night.

(drum rises, heartbeat syncs, and the main song begins)
