04 Told Me To Run

03 I'm Right Here

lyrics:

I'm not gonna bow my head
I'm not gonna bow my head
I might be buried 
but don't declare me dead

yes my laugh might be a cry
and my smile might be a frown
but as long as I'm wandering round
don't you declare me dead

I might be hidden in the shadow of some God
might be so dark I can't see myself
well baby I'm still hear
don't you say that I disappeared 

you might've tried to find me sitting in my house
you might've tried to find me standing in the hall
just because I'm nowhere to be found
doesn't mean that I'm nowhere at all

oh I'm not gonna bow my head
I'm not gonna bow my head
yes I might be buried
but don't declare me dead

Not Gonna Bow My Head

The son of evangelical missionaries, Luke Abbott was born a drifter moving around the world, from California to Japan,  finally settling in western Washington. His life was the Baptist church; following in the footsteps of other Christian singer-songwriters like David Bazan, Abbott attended Northwest University, a Christian liberal arts college in Seattle where he studied music.
 
It was in college that his religious commitment started to waver, following a series of faith-shattering events like the divorce of his parents and witnessing religious hypocrisy up close as he rose through the ranks as a music pastor.
 
Abbott eventually traded his faith community and all his possessions for a fishing boat in Alaska after the loss of his mother. It was here The Drifter Luke truly stepped into his songwriting, in the solitude of the Chatham Strait.
