If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise

This is the house that Jack built

[Verse 1]  
I’ve seen the winds of war roll in  
Like thunder from the sky  
But I’ve held a child in trembling arms  
And taught her not to cry  
It’s not the sword that makes you strong  
It’s standing for the right  
It’s holding ground with open arms  
But ready for the fight  

[Chorus]
Peace with strength, strength with grace  
A calm heart in a restless place  
Not backin’ down, not throwin’ stones  
But never walkin' this world alone  
Let justice ring, let courage rise  
Like morning sun in open skies  
We dream, we build, we still defend  
Peace with strength — until the end  

[Verse 2]  
I’ve walked through cities torn by hate  
And felt the silence scream  
But in the rhythm of a rebel song  
I found a deeper dream  
It’s not in might, it’s in the will  
To never turn away  
To hold the line of love and truth  
No matter what they say  

[Chorus]
Peace with strength, strength with grace  
A calm heart in a restless place  
Not backin’ down, not throwin’ stones  
But never walkin' this world alone  
Let justice ring, let courage rise  
Like morning sun in open skies  
We dream, we build, we still defend  
Peace with strength — until the end  

[Verse 3]  
This world may shake, the night may fall  
But we won’t be erased  
We’ll stand as bridges, not just walls  
With dignity and grace  

[Final Chorus]
Peace with strength, strength with grace  
A calm heart in a restless place  
Not backin’ down, not throwin’ stones  
But never walkin' this world alone  
Let justice ring, let courage rise  
Like morning sun in open skies  
We rise, we heal, we won't pretend—  
Peace with strength…  
Peace with strength…  
Until the end  


Peace with Strength

So I had written an instrumental track called 'The Mural' I said I would put some vocals to.  Without re-arranging the track too much this is what I came up with.  This is no longer a song about a Mural.  I went dark instead!  I cannot remove the hissing from the Guitar Tracks... despite my best efforts.  Hopefully the rest will make up for it!

I tried to believe
In every way forgive me
For fading away
I went to that room today
Where your heart it stayed
And all that I held so dear
Just slipped away
When I begged for you to stay

Hey
While there’s blood in these veins
I’ll be feeling this way

Oh, these blues can’t contain me
You knew how to break me
You swallowed your sorrow
Tomorrow you borrowed
So I’d drown in pain

I tried to believe
Remember that Sunday, last May
It was all but a game
I ran from the truth in shame
But I’m not to blame
Cause this is your life
That’s right, not mine to save
When I begged for you to change

Hey
While there’s blood in these veins
I’ll be feeling this way

Oh, these blues can’t contain me
You knew how to break me
You swallowed your sorrow
Tomorrow you borrowed
So I’d drown in pain

Yeah, I’d drown in pain
Tomorrow you borrowed
So I’d drown in pain
Tomorrow you borrowed
So I’d drown in pain
Yeah, I’d drown in pain

This songs describes where I'm at these days.

Lyrics:
You think I’ve reached the day, when things have stopped goin’ my way,
It’s scary to consider,  my feet turnin’ into clay,
But there’s that breeze, the greens of the trees,
The beauty makes my head pop so I’ll  keep
Livin’ each day, prayin’ to stay,
Keepin’ that body together.
                                           
I heard the doctor say, 
To stop skippin’ over the ocean,
You know I’ll surely pay,
For acting on every notion,
But look at the sky, the sun flyin’ by,
It’s calling me on and on so I’ll keep
Livin’ each day, praying to stay,
Keepin’ that soul together.

That pile of pills seems to grow bigger every day,
If something gets me they’ll be evidence exhibit “A”,
So head for the hills, forget about wills,
Soak up all the nature and calm and just keep
Livin’ each day, praying to stay,
Keepin’ it all together.

Keepin’ it all, keepin’ it all together.
Keepin’ it all, keepin’ it all together.
          
Yeah, I heard the doctor say, 
I should stop skippin’ over the ocean,
And I’ll surely pay,
For acting on every notion,
But look at the sky, the sun flyin’ by,
It’s calling me on and on so I’ll keep
Livin’ each day, praying to stay,
Keepin’ it all together.

Keepin’ it all, keepin’ it all together.
Keepin’ it all, keepin’ it all together.

Keepin' it All Together

“Chasing Life’s Dreams” is a foot-tapping bluegrass journey down the backroads of hope and heart. With mandolin, banjo, and fiddle driving the rhythm, this song celebrates the joy of chasing what matters most — even when the road gets dusty and the map fades with time.

It’s a story about the miles behind us, the faith ahead, and the music that keeps our spirits rolling.  Whether you’re driving home at sunset or dancing on the porch, this tune reminds us that every detour can still lead to something beautiful.

This is the house that Jack built
