Verse 1:
Sweetest dreams in the middle of the night
Fields of green waking with the morning light
Heart of gold everything just feels so right
Must be love love love love love love love

Butterflies becoming who they’re meant to be
Sunny skies shining light for all to see
Evening breeze gently blowing through the trees
Must be love love love love love love love
Yes it’s love love love love love love love

Chorus:
I know you could be the one
To make my whole world come undone
Washed clean in the rain that falls
I know it must be love
I’m in love love love love love
It must be love

Verse 2:
Gratitude the greatest way to be alive
Attitude aligning hearts to what is right
Living free is always worth the righteous fight
When it’s love love love love love love love
Yes it’s love love love love love love love

Chorus:
I know you could be the one
To make my whole world come undone
Washed clean in the rain that falls
I know it must be love
I’m in love love love love love
I’m in love love love love love
I’m in love love love love love
It must be love


It Must Be Love

Verse 1:
Struggling in the morning
Trying hard to find my keys
Everyday’s exhausting
The joys of ADHD

But who knows what day it even is

Chorus:
If you could read my mind
Would you say hello or would you run and hide
If you could feel my pain
Would you lift me up or watch me go insane

Verse 2:
Almost burnt the house down
Left the stove on once again
I just started texting
But I forgot to press send

But I can’t remember to which friend

Chorus:
If you could read my mind
Would you say hello or would you run and hide
If you could feel my pain
Would you lift me up or watch me go insane

Bridge:
There are days I lose my way
When I try to read the signs

Chorus:
If you could read my mind
Would you say hello or would you run and hide
If you could feel my pain
Would you lift me up or watch me go insane


If You Could Read My Mind (The Joys Of ADHD)

Verse 1:
In a rut and nobody cares
So tired of climbing up all these stairs
But I know I gotta get up

But when I jump up I fall down
And my head is spinning around
But I know still gotta get up

Chorus:
Run faster than they can
Everybody wants every piece of me in great demand
Push through the sinking sand
There is nothing I have left to give but take my hand

Verse 2:
Everywhere that I can turn
I can feel that the sun still burns
Everyday I gotta get up

There’s no limit to the sky
Why should there be with you and I
If we rise we’re gonna get up

Chorus:
Run faster than they can
Everybody wants every piece of me in great demand
Push through the sinking sand
There is nothing I have left to give but take my hand

Run Faster Than They Can

Verse 1
I can feel the sun is shining
The day is ours to win
Catch the wave, the vibe is climbing
The good life’s rolling in

Why do we always chase storms
We’ve got blue skies to share
Why keep fighting old wars
When laughter’s everywhere

Pre-Chorus
Let’s break away

Chorus
Come paddle out where we belong
On the brighter side, on the brighter side
Worries fade and joy is sung
On the brighter side, on the brighter side

Verse 2
Every laugh becomes our story
The world is ours to share
Dancing free in all our glory
Good vibes are everywhere

Pre-Chorus
Let’s float away

Chorus
Come paddle out where we belong
On the brighter side, on the brighter side
Worries fade and joy is sung
On the brighter side, on the brighter side

Pre-Chorus
Let’s light the way

Chorus 
Come paddle out where we belong
On the brighter side, on the brighter side
Worries fade and joy is sung
On the brighter side, on the brighter side


On The Brighter Side

Verse 1:
What are we doing, what have we become
When we’re killing our neighbors in cold blood
For disagreeing with someone
Where are we going, why do we run
In the opposite direction 
Of the light shining from the sun

Chorus:
Oh God help us
Oh God please help us

Verse 2:
America’s broken, it’s clear we’ve lost our way
One side’s for peace and freedom 
While the other wants to take away
How can we find the truth if we’re not safe to say
And share the ideas in our minds 
To find the better way

Chorus:
Oh God help us
Oh God please help us
Oh God please help us
Show us the way

Oh…

Bridge:
When the tyrant dies then his rule fades away
But when the martyr dies, his rule remains
Is America past it’s turning point
It is up to us to make our choice

Chorus:
Oh God help us
Oh God please help us
Oh God please help us
Show us the way

Before it’s too late

Oh God Help Us

Verse 1:
Everyone thinks they know what’s best
For everybody and their dog
Pointing fingers, waving cardboard signs
Cause everybody else is wrong

Who cares if it is true or not
Just believe it anyway
Cause today we all forgot
What the “it” was yesterday

And the marching band plays on

Chorus:
I don’t really care Margaret
Stop telling me what to think
I am not your little puppet
I can stand on my two feet

I know that you think you’re helping
But I do fine on my own
Cause I know which way to go
I go where I wanna go

Verse 2:
I wake up every morning
And they scream the same old tune
Talking heads on different channels
With the same message of doom

I’ll admit I’m a little worried
But still gotta pay my bills
I’ll go find some peace and quiet
And touch something that’s real

Cause the marching band plays on

Chorus:
I don’t really care Margaret
Stop telling me what to think
I am not your little puppet
I can stand on my two feet

I know that you think you’re helping
But I do fine on my own
Cause I know which way to go
I go where I wanna go

Bridge:
Don’t worry about me
I can find my way just as easily
Just you wait and see
The world won’t end if we don’t agree

Chorus:
I don’t really care Margaret
Stop telling me what to think
I am not your little puppet
I can stand on my two feet

I know that you think you’re helping
But I do fine on my own
Cause I know which way to go
I go where I wanna go

I Don’t Really Care Margaret

Verse 1
All the rain is gone and the clouds are dry
From the weight of tears falling from my eyes
You said you would leave, and you meant it true
Now I’m blue

Verse 2
I don’t know the words that could make you stay
All my pleas fell short, and they slipped away
For the hurt you left carved a wound too wide
Deep inside

Chorus
So I fall down and I close my eyes
As I fade into the dark
And I gather all my broken parts
Cause they ache for where you are
Oh won’t you please stitch up my patchwork heart

Verse 3
Now the nights grow cold and the stars won’t glow
Every dream I held dragged to shadows low
In the still, I chase where your warmth once lay
Far away

Chorus
So I fall down and I close my eyes
As I fade into the dark
And I gather all my broken parts
Cause they ache for where you are
Oh won’t you please stitch up my patchwork heart

My Patchwork Heart

Verse 1:
Take it or leave it, you whispered soft to me
You better believe it, my love could set you free
If you receive it, then we might finally see
What we could be

Verse 2:
Won’t you say something, we’re running out of time
It’s all or nothing, now choose if you’ll be mine
No I’m not bluffing, you’ve got to read the signs
In your mind

Chorus:
Open up your heart and find me now
We can make our dreams come true somehow
Are you strong enough to take the vow
Show me now

Verse 3:
I won’t deny it, the truth is plain to see
You can’t disguise it, love’s calling you to me
If you will try it, our fate is meant to be
Wait and see

Chorus:
Open up your heart and find me now
We can make our dreams come true somehow
Are you strong enough to take the vow
Show me now

Bridge:
Can’t you hear the bells are ringing
Harmony the birds are singing

Chorus:
Open up your heart and find me now
We can make our dreams come true somehow
Are you strong enough to take the vow
Show me now

Open Up Your Heart And Find Me Now

Verse 1:
I waited a lifetime to find
A love that could last for all time
You came and opened the door
Now I don’t need anything more
Cause I found you

Chorus:
I love you more than my life
I love you more than my life

Verse 2:
The way you look into my eyes
I see just what matters in life
Now all my dreams have come true
My world feels like everything’s new
Cause I found you

Chorus 2:
I love you more than my life
My heart surrenders
I love you more than my life
It is my pleasure

I love you more than my life
My heart surrenders
I love you more than my life
It is my pleasure
I give my heart
I give my heart
I give my heart to you

I Love You More Than My Life

Verse 1:
I’ve been lost inside this daily grind
Trading peace for pennies in my mind
Tired of chasing ghosts that fade away
Hey hey

Verse 2:
Every day I stare into the screen
Living someone else’s broken dream
Guess it’s time I make my great escape
Hey hey

Chorus:
Running, I’m so tired of all this crawling
Screaming, stuck inside this maze that’s falling
It’s hard to believe that the whole world is spinning round
In my head

Verse 3:
I’m walking through the open door
Don’t know what I’m searching for no more
All I know is somewhere something’s really gotta change
Hey hey

Chorus:
Running, I’m so tired of all this crawling
Screaming, stuck inside this maze that’s falling
It’s hard to believe that the whole world is spinning round
In my head

Bridge:
Now the sky comes crashing down
But I’m higher than the clouds
On my six string I will strum and play
Hey Hey

Chorus:
Running, I’m so tired of all this crawling
Screaming, stuck inside this maze that’s falling
It’s hard to believe that the whole world is spinning round
In my head

Hey Hey!

Just an ordinary knucklehead strumming my six-string and singing songs. All songs are original raw recordings of my songwriting journey of healing and finding peace. Maybe one of these days, I'll actually learn how to record and mix better, but until then, I'm just having fun. Many of the thumbnails are my original art creations check out my insta for more art. I hope you like it!
