Color me
Paint me bright upon your skin so fair
I realize

I feel again
In the motion of your song I fall
Through your pain

Chorus
And I've been waiting for my soul to cry
Bitter kisses on my heart
You've come closer than my yesterday
Won't you free my pain
Won't you free my pain

Stay with me
Hold me like you feel at home
With my soul

Cry with me
Scream your pain into my body
And shatter me

Shatter Me

One By One

In A Moment

She left her dream on a mountain top
Spoke her song
She turned her life from the bitter past
Healed her heart

She rides life like a carousel
She smiles bright on this carousel

She finds peace in a hurricane
Turn to me
Screams her pain into the darkened frost
Breathe my heart

Carousel

I am falling - I am breathing in you
I am drifting, falling, floating on the water with you
I am counting - days - I am waiting for you
I am longing, hoping, wishing for the moment that you

{chorus}
Follow me into the painted fire - our desire
Run with me into naked wishes - butterfly kisses
Lay me down to dream, upon your lap now, angels somehow catch me when 
Catch me when - 

You are falling - when you are praying for relief
When you are hurting, falling, crying I will sing to you
When you are counting - days - I am counting with you
When you are longing, hoping, wishing for the day when I say

I Am Falling

You reach inside to birth your innocence
To speak your own peace in this life

You  wrestle strong with your indifference
But you free the light over the cost

I hurt

When you're afraid to look inside
Cause you realize the pain is more alone than you

Sometimes we need to vocalize
Share the other side that we hide

I hurt


I Hurt

Take One Project - 1st recordings of old & new songs.  Most of the songs in this set were recorded via one take.  They are either new songs that I wrote and posted within a week of writing them; or, they are old songs that I've either never recorded or never wanted to record.

Better Days

Broken Man

Carry Me On

Come - Come with me

The rain falls down and your head spins round
What’s up is down and what’s down is up
When the fire’s gone and the cold night’s black
The book is read like the wine that soothed your soul

Come - Come with me

I will wake up next to you
In the light of a new dawn
And the song that’s on your smile
Will hold me like a child - again

You hear the song but the melody
Is lost somewhere between you and me
You wish to fly and you dream to go
To a deeper tune inside your soul - that no one knows

Come - Come with me

Come With Me

Don't Go

Heal my bones - Heal my body with this song
Heal my bones - Heal my body with this song

Pour in me your love - And fall on my pain with your words
Honor the place where you are - As you walk on this earth

Heal my bones - Heal my body with this song
Heal my bones - Heal my body with this song
She cries - She longs for more
She sings - Loud

Your smile wakes my heart - I will embrace the dark tonight
Knowing your spirit - Has come to my rescue to

Heal my bones - Heal my body with this song
Heal my bones - Heal my body with this song
She cries - She longs for more
She sings - Loud

Heal My Bones

I Feel Your Love

I Will Love You Forever

Skimming Stones

So I Dream

Stand Upon My Love

The Other Side Of Destiny

Would You Hold My Hand

You Belong

When you smile - you smile warm
When you breathe - you fill my heart
When you laugh - my fears subside
And all my hopes lay in your arms

I can feel your spirit rise
See the brilliant light inside
Even when your soul is dark
You always take me to bluer sky’s

Chorus
You take my love to higher ground
We share the light and we hear the sound
And when you hold my hand to land
You’ll launch my heart and we’ll fly again

When you sing - the angels pause
When you dance - the wind is free
When you search - for love and light
Even God Himself falls to His knees

I wanna share this path with you
White sands and the ocean blue
And even when this life is cruel
These wings of hope will carry you

Bridge
I need your love
I need your love
I need feel love
I need your love

Fly Again

And here we are - Another page torn
Ripped from the bind - A careless adorn

No shelter in my eyes - No hand to hold your cross
An image of hope - As I dust off your skin

Chorus
Desperate I run - Forgiving I fall
Hopeless I shake - Broken I crawl
Desperate I seek your love
Sacred I haunt your night
Silent I bleed - Silent I fall

And here we breath - Proof that we live
Renewed by the dawn - Claimed by the son

No sleep enters your night - No wind to clean my soul
We suffer this prayer - Find purpose for love

Silent I Fall

Lead me to the water
Take me to my knee
Find the edge of silence and breathe

Deliver me from this race
Captivate my soul
Pour silence on to these lips

Oh Oh we run
Oh Oh we run
Oh Oh we run, be still
Oh Oh we run

Lay my body down
Back against the earth
The eyes of this child, painting in the sky

I am not this man
A prisoner of the slain
May the motion of this world be still again

Words & Music by James Olmos

We Run

Let it all go
Releasing the spirit of this love
Nothing will free you more than the truth

Let it all go
Don’t grieve upon my smile
Take a step back to open up the sky

Bitter lies
Don’t live in bitter lies
Bitter lies
Don’t harbor bitter lies

Let it all go
Finding compassion again, I
Share what I love and not what I want

Let it all go
Come and rest here
Release your pretend and honor truth again - truth again
Not those bitter lies
