Independent Singer Songwriter

[Verse 1]
Slammed doors, shattered dreams,
Voices echo, broken screams.
Another night, another fight,
Didn’t wanna say goodbye.

Packed a bag, left my phone,
Didn’t want them tracking home.
Got a ride, hit the road,
Now I’m out here on my own.

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama cried, but I ain't there,
Dad just shrugged, like he don’t care.
Sister’s lost inside her mind,
And the little ones ask why.

[Chorus]
Seventeen and gone,
Too far down this road to turn around.
No ID, no name,
Just a shadow lost inside this town.
They’re looking for me, I know,
But I can’t go back, I won’t go home.

[Verse 2]
Streetlights flicker in the night,
New friends, but nothing feels right.
Torn jeans, borrowed time,
Running fast, crossing lines.

Cops are asking, mom’s in tears,
Daddy won’t admit his fears.
Sister whispers to the stars,
"Where you are, do you miss us at all?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama prayed, but I ain't there,
Dad just sighed, like he don’t care.
Sister’s drowning in the past,
And the little ones still ask.

[Chorus]
Seventeen and gone,
Too far down this road to turn around.
No ID, no name,
Just a shadow lost inside this town.
They’re looking for me, I know,
But I can’t go back, I won’t go home.

[Bridge]
Then the sirens cut the night,
Blue and red flashing lights.
Friends lied, but they knew,
Mom pulled up, stepped out, I’m through.

[Verse 3]
Tears in her eyes, fire in her voice,
Mad and relieved, no real choice.
Dad just smirked, shook my hand,
Said, "Now you’re a man, you took a stand."

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama’s broken, trust is torn,
Dad just acts like I was born
To run, to fight, to prove I’m strong,
But why do I still feel so wrong?

[Final Chorus]
Seventeen and found,
Standing in the wreckage of what I’ve done.
No way to fix the pain,
Just a lesson carved in everyone.
They searched for me, now I know,
I can’t go back, but I’m still home.

[Outro]
Mama’s hurt, I see it now,
Sister’s quiet, looking down.
Daddy laughs, but I just stare,
I ran away, but I’m still there...

Seventeen and Gone

Right When Your Wrong

I hear your name -- in the quiet rain
Feel your touch  in the autumn wind
But every echo fades away
Like footprints lost in shifting sand

I trace your voice --  in the midnight tide
Follow shadows that look like you
But every time I reach the light
It's only ghosts I'm walking about

On some distant shore, are you waiting there?
Distant shore, do you still care?
I keep calling, I keep reaching
But you're drifting, disappearing
On some distant shore, are you waiting there?
Distant shore, do you still care?

The stars still shine -- like they used to then
But time keeps pulling you further out
And if I called your name again
Would you hear, or just turn around?

On some distant shore, are you waiting there?
Distant shore, do you still care?
I keep calling, I keep reaching
But you're drifting, disappearing
On some distant shore, are you waiting there?
Distant shore, do you still care?

Maybe hope is just a lie we tell
When the truth is too much to bear
But if you whispered back my name
I swear I'd find you anywhere

On some distant shore, are you waiting there?
Distant shore, do you still care?
I keep calling, I keep reaching
But you're drifting, disappearing
On some distant shore, are you waiting there?
Distant shore, do you still care?
Do you still care?
Do you still care?

Distant Shore

A desperate question buried in the ruins.
“What Do You See?” is heart-wrenching and beautiful, a final scream into the void; hoping someone, anyone, still sees the person beneath the pain.
Crafted by one of the most talented artists I know, it was a genuine honor just to sing this.

**Lyrics**

I pray 
Pray for better days 
Pray for better things 
To the mother I pray 
Pray for better stakes 
Word of the day 
Tomorrow I’ll pray for a better today 

Hope X4 (ho-oo-ope)X4 
(As I) 
Hope (As I) 
Hope (As I)
Hope (As I)
Hope (As I)
