What Ifs And Move On

Being a Parkinson's patient has led  to some  incredible opportunities to develop new neuro-pathways in my brain. This is my first track of my AtmosphEAR album.

For the World

For The World

Now Or Never

I jump out of bed every morning eager to continue the fight.
There’s so many wrongs in the world today.
I want to try make them right.
All those negative people out there, I pretend they don’t exist
The more times they tell me no, the harder I persist.

Life keeps trying to knock me down.
But as soon as my body hits the ground.
I bounce back up with a grim smile on my face.
And I lurch on forward slightly dazed with a sense of purpose only I can see.

I’m gonna focus on what’s important, I’m gonna stay above the fray.
Every obstacle I encounter, I’ll push it out of my way.
If anybody tries to stop me, like a steamroller I’ll run them flat.
Like a boxer facing a TKO I’m goanna to jump up from the mat

I’m gonna put one foot in front of the other.
I’m gonna keep right on going.
I’m trying as hard as I can. 
I’ve got no intention of slowing.

I’m gonna to be as relentless as one of those zombies in the walking dead.
I’m not goanna let any negative thoughts creep into my head.

I’m gonna  make up for lost time. 
I’m gonna  squeeze the most out of every day.
And if I head down the wrong path,
I’m gonna a turn around and find a better way.

All those sacrifices I’ve been making.
Its goanna be worth the time I spent.
I’m goanna flap my wings as hard as I can.
I’ll continue my ascent.
They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn.
And if I hit a rough patch I’ll continue to push on


Life keeps trying to knock me down.
But as soon as my body hits the ground.
I bounce back up with a grim smile on my face.
And I lurch on forward slightly dazed with a sense of purpose only I can see.

I’m gonna unlock the door to my cage and set myself free.

Bounce Back Up

Every day it feels like the world’s getting a little more crazy
Every day the future feels a little bit more hazy

Well there’s one thing I like to do 
When I’m feeling blue
That makes me feel okay 
When I’m having a bad day

I pick up my dumbbells and I watch a fitness video on my TV
And I exercise all those negative thoughts right out of me
I lift those weights up and down and I huff and I puff 
And I keep on going at it until I think I’ve had enough

Every time I go to the grocery store the food is more expensive
I go home, I look at my bank account, I feel so apprehensive
I drive to work, every day and the commute is not that great
I turn on the news, it’s so bad, the world is in a sorry state

After a hard day of working 9 to five
Like Hans and Franz on Saturday Night Live
You can pick up your dumbbells
And pump yourself up. You can do it.
Or you can lie on the sofa and watch TV
If you want to bed rot it’s so easy
And the only burn you’ll feel is from the hot sauce on your chicken wings
It’s not the same.

I pick up my dumbbells and I lift them
And I embrace all the pain
And I push all the negative thoughts right out of my brain
I lift those weights up and down and I huff and I puff 
And I keep on going at it until I think I’ve had enough

Some people turn to donuts when they’re feeling overstressed
We all need to do that we think is the best
As for me I’d rather grab my dumbbells and work up a good sweat
As I try to keep up with the fitness coaches on my TV set
As for me I’d rather grab my dumbbells and work up a good sweat
As I try to keep up with the fitness coaches on my TV set

I Pick Up My Dumbbells

Life just kind of got in the way.  
You put those dreams on the shelf for another day.
You thought you’d get around to doing
all those things on your bucket list.
But lately it feels like you’re running out of time
 and you’ve got this urge to lay it on the line.
You tell yourself you’re going to do it, but then you hear this voice in your head.
Making up excuses for why you should take the easy road instead.

Sometimes the answers aren’t in a book
Sometimes you gotta leap before you look
Sometimes you gottta take a shot and let the chips fall where they may.
Sometimes you gotta pick up your bat and give it a really big swing.
Sometimes you gotta get up on that stage and open your mouth and sing

It feels like nobody’s on your side
You wish you had someone with whom you could confide
You’re afraid if you tell people what you’re trying to achieve you’ll seem delusional
You tell yourself that even though you’re no longer a young pup
That doesn’t mean you should take off your hat and hang it up

Time has a way of passing by quicker than you think
We all share the same ultimate fate
You’d better do it before it’s too late
You can keep making excuses or you can try to get something done
Even if you don’t succeed, you can try to make the journey fun

Sometimes the answers aren’t in a book
Sometimes you gotta leap before you look
Sometimes you gottta take a shot and let the chips fall where they may.
Sometimes you gotta pick up your bat and give it a really big swing.
Sometimes you gotta get up on that stage and open your mouth and sing

Sometimes I feel it all slipping away
My hopes and dreams for a better day
Then I flip on the TV and my mind grows dim
I sit on the couch with a silly grin

One of these days I’m goanna wake up 
And I’ll take a look a look around and say I’ve had enough
And I’ll take all the bad advice
That I’ve been hearing all of life
And I’ll decide to ignore all the pessimists around me

I tell myself that I still have time
To find a place in the world that I can call mine
Then I open the fridge and grab another beer
I tell myself those plans can wait till next year

One of these days I’m goanna wake up 
And I’ll take a look a look around and say I’ve had enough
And I’ll take all the bad advice
That I’ve been hearing all of life
And I’ll decide to ignore all the pessimists around me

You tell people that things need to change
And they look at you like you’re kind of strange
They say why can’t you accept things just the way they are
They say the world has always been this way
As if that makes it all okay
To sit around and do nothing while it all falls apart

Sometimes I walk off the beaten path
But my comfort zone keeps calling me back
Saying there’s too much competition
The odds are against you
Youre not goanna make it no matter what you do

One of these days I’m goanna wake up 
And I’ll take a look a look around and say I’ve had enough
And I’ll take all the bad advice
That I’ve been hearing all of life
And I’ll decide to ignore all the pessimists around me
