(Verse 1)
Never played basketball
Never shot too many hoops
Never had the jerseys
or Air Jordan's shoes
The rules of the game
always seemed so strange
and now you want me to jump?

Never been sailing
Don't know about tying knots
the storm plays hide and seek
Am I ready or not?
'Cuz here it comes
Ship's sinking
water up my nose 
and I'll get caught 
in the undertow
unless you want me to jump

(Verse 2)
This little one right here
Shows me he knows no fear
Want to be like him again one day
Pick the biggest stick
Throw the farthest rock
The whole world is child's play

(Bridge)
They say it takes a leap of faith
They say it takes a leap of faith

(Verse 3)
I'll climb new heights to fly instead of fall
My shortcomings won't be embarrassing at all
Keep trying the hardest, keep my expectations small
Keep loving who I can, 'cuz I'm having a ball
See you on the other side of the chain link fence
We're free to run around, free to make amends
Pick a number, how you feel? Between 1 and 10
All around me paradise, so it must be 11.

BIO:

In the summer right before his senior year of high school, Stephen bought his first guitar at a local pawn shop in hopes of starting a band with a friend. Making more noise than actual music, none of them knew how to play instruments.  The short-lived band phase ended, and Stephen continued on his own path to pursue his love for music. Delving straight into songwriting that first year, Stephen spent countless hours crafting lyrics, melodies, and arrangements. His songs were initially recorded on a cheap computer microphone with basic multitrack software.  As his craft quickly developed, Stephen began writing and self-producing marketable songs at a professional level.

He describes himself first and foremost as a songwriter; second, a producer/mixing & mastering engineer, and recording artist, third.  He has had over a dozen different singers and artists perform his songs, has co-written with dozens of songwriters, and has produced, mixed, and mastered music of various artists and bands in a variety of genres. To date, Stephen has written and produced over 100 commercial songs with six self-studio albums and continues to hone in on his craft as a songwriter, producer, artist, and mixing/mastering engineer.

Eclectic pianist and songwriter from Austin, Texas.
