When the times get tough
Life it seems 
Like never to gets better
One thing after the next
Every day gets worst more than ever

When will it all stop
When will it all end
When will 
All my chances
Come to win

Well, they tell me, 
I gotta endure, before I cure
I gotta endure, before I cure
I gotta endure, before I cure
That's what needs to happen

I need hope
I need love
I need dreams
Let them all flood

If I need to endure 
before I cure
Why does the pain and suffering
Never stop
Never end

Will this be my end
Am I over
Am I done
Have l lost everything
Under the sun

Well, they tell me, 
I gotta endure, before I cure
I gotta endure, before I cure
I gotta endure, before I cure
That's what needs to happen

Well, they tell me, 
I gotta endure, before I cure
I gotta endure, before I cure
I gotta endure, before I cure
That's what needs to happen

Hope In Hard Times

I'm confused
I can't figure it out
How do I amuse
How do I shout

Is there something I push
Is there something I click
Is there something I swipe
Is there something I like

With your love
With your light
Let's make it happen
Tonight

With your love
With your light
Let's make it happen
Tonight

Am I missing the key
Am I missing the me
Am I missing the free
Am I missing the plea

For help!
For help!
For help!
For help!

How does this occur
I only see the blur
Will they prefer
When I'm in doubt

With your love
With your light
I'll make it happen
Tonight

Will I find it
Will I see it
Will I meet it
Will I believe it

When it happens
How will I respond
When it happens
Will I be gone

With your love
With your light
Let's make it happen
Tonight

The Push, the Click, the Swipe

Thank you for sticking with me and listening to my songs. I notice the ones who show up, the ones who keep coming back, the ones who let this music into their life. That means more to me than I can put into words.

I hope these songs have given you the same strength and peace they’ve given me. I write them to lift the soul and the spirit, because in times like these, we need every bit of light we can find.

If there’s one thing I want you to remember, it’s this: never give up on yourself. If you want something, you have to work for it and sometimes you have to work hard as hell just to move forward. But I believe in you. I believe you’ll reach that first goal on your journey. And when you do, don’t stop. Keep going. There’s always another level waiting.

In the meantime, there’s a whole universe of music here for you to explore. These songs are written from lived experience and created to be felt, not just heard. If any of them speak to you, let me know.

Welcome to the way my mind works.

Welcome to my world.

Cheers,
MDRJR
