VERSE 1
Spilled my coffee again
Guess I really wanted tea
Skipped the latest trend
It don’t matter much to me

Melodies in my head
They don’t have the words to sing
So I go out instead
Just to see what life will bring
Inspire me

CHORUS
I woke up cause the sun is shining through my window
Harmonize while the birds are singing a crescendo
Breaking free from the pain that yesterday had taught me
Cause today’s a brand new day

VERSE 2
Met a friend down the street
Where we used to spend our days
Talked of love, bittersweet,
And the time that slipped away

Walked down by the shore
Let the memories drift on through
Every moment before
Led me right back home to you
Love is true

CHORUS
I woke up cause the sun is shining through my window
Harmonize while the birds are singing a crescendo
Breaking free from the pain that yesterday had taught me
Cause today’s a brand new day

BRIDGE
Go outside, feel the sun
A new day has just begun
Take a risk, have some fun
Everyday, everyone

CHORUS
I woke up cause the sun is shining through my window
Harmonize while the birds are singing a crescendo
Breaking free from the pain that yesterday had taught me
Cause today’s a brand new day

Won’t you go outside and play

Shining Through My Window

Just an ordinary knucklehead strumming my six-string and singing songs. I labor with sweat and tears to make REAL music for REAL people. No lazy AI allowed. Originally from San Diego CA many of my songs are inspired by fond memories of beach and ocean culture and carne asada burritos. Maybe one of these days, I'll learn how to record my songs better, but until then, I'm just enjoying the raw songwriting process.
