Where was the world The day you needed someone To be by your side And help you make it through Would a smile or a touch or a prayer Have made any difference To give you some hope And turn your dark sky blue I would have taken your place Done anything just to find you How did your life get so hard Right and wrong got confused Didn’t you know just how much All of us loved and adored you What will it take To turn your dark sky blue You left us here Without a single answer To pick up the pieces of Your broken point of view Now we’ve got to go on With the empty hole you left us And fill it with light To turn your dark sky blue I would have taken your place Done anything just to find you How did your life get so hard Right and wrong got confused Oh didn’t you know just how much All of us loved and adored you Now what will it take To turn your dark sky blue Solo Didn’t you know just how much All of us loved and adored you What will it take To turn your dark sky blue What will it take To turn your dark sky blue

Monster 04:32
 You stood on the ledge  You knew you would fall So tangled with rage and fear What made you believe  Your choices would let you escape You traded your soul for our tears The monster wins again  Don’t you know it’s not your friend  It lies and it steals  And it tears you down and makes you think it’s real It breaks and it blames Cause it knows you’re too afraid to change Yeah but now you’ll never be the same When did you decide To hurt all of us for your pain The stain on the floor remains They’ll say that you are The monster that ruined the world So I tucked your heart away  In the wake of broken lives  The monster cannot hide  It takes and it creeps  And it whispers wicked thoughts and schemes It rips and it tears It convinces you to take the dare  It claws and it screams And it wakes you from your sleepless dreams It’s your choice you're its slave You bear the scars of its relentless chains Don’t you know you wrapped us all in chains Solo Don’t you know you wrapped us all in chains Now none of us will be the same

You must feel so lost and alone Your dreams have died your hope is gone Angry and broken will it ever be ok You can’t go back can’t face today Will it always feel this way You don’t know the end of the story It’s hard to believe what you can’t see You don’t know the end of the story Till love steps in and you let go What you don’t know There are words you can’t hear There’s a stillness that you fear Time is frozen but you will never be the same The sun comes up then the light fades But it won’t always feel this way You don’t know the end of the story It’s hard to believe what you can’t see You don’t know the end of the story Till love steps in and you let go What you don’t know It’s hard to know the truth When you don’t know what to do Oh Love is the only thing that’s real Oh that’s real You don’t know the end of the story Till love steps in and you let go What you don’t know Oh what you don’t know Only love knows what you don’t know

It’s hard for me to take a breath I got no idea what’s coming next I don’t have a prayer right now Scared to death I’m gonna drown The more I fight the more it pulls me down Suffocating Empty aching Feels like I’m Breathing under water Afraid and all alone I struggle with the darkness that comes closing in Under Water The only hope is letting go Surrender is the choice that makes you stronger Breathing under water Under water It’s hard for me to say out loud Cause everything is different now I had to go through this All the pain and loneliness Love was always waiting cause love is Everywhere In every thing And saves us Even under water Afraid and all alone I struggle with the darkness that comes closing in Under water Holding on or letting go Surrender is the choice that makes you stronger Every single moment You were not alone When you’re scared and broken Love will bring you home Everywhere In every thing And finds us Even under water It’s light that gives us hope We struggle with the darkness that comes closing in Under water There’s only peace in letting go Surrender is the choice that makes you stronger Breathing under water Breathing under water Breathing under water woah Under water

There will come a time When life will hold me tender And everything that I remember Will echo in the sky Like colors of a rainbow And the mist across the mountain With clouds full of prayers Shaped like hearts and butterflies There will come a time When I finally feel alive again There will come a time When I know I’m safe and strong There will come a time When every tear I’ve cried Will flow into a river of hope And carry me home There will come a time There will come a touch That thunders through the shadows And sanctifies tomorrow With defiant peace But I want it now The power of emotion That opens up the floodgates To set me free There will come a time When I take another breathe and then There will come a time When surrender comes and all the pain Will fade into a time When truth and love forgiveness Hope and promises begin Again and again and again There will come a time Solo There will come a time When I take another breathe and then There will come a time When surrender comes and all the pain Will fade into a time When truth and love forgiveness Hope and promises begin Again and again and again There will come a time There will come a time

Waves 04:12
One breath ago the world was perfect as a summer day No sign of losing everything one moment swept away I felt the weight of every tear they fell like stones And broke my heart till hope was gone It came in waves and the world came crashing down It came in waves and the fear and pain grew loud So much has changed that’s what the water does The tide she’ll move the waves with love I knew I’d never be the same I know I never will But what I thought would be the end became what made me real Come water crawl across the sand till you heal my soul I caught your light I’m letting go It came in waves the truth came dancing out It came in waves there’s grace for every doubt So much has changed that’s what the water does The tide she moves with waves of love The hurt, the hardest parts, the sleepless nights, the darkest dark The terror of the shots that fired into every part Of every dream that I would ever dare to dream again Love begins and ends With every wave loves beauty comes ashore To wash away the fear I had before Arms open wide my heart can only trust The tide she moves through waves of love It came in waves It came in waves

Grace 04:21
I didn’t know how much I needed you Never knew that you were there Every choice that brought me to my knees Made me find you everywhere Ooh ooh ooh my soul cries Ooh ooh open my eyes Oh oh oh Grace how can the darkness be light Oh oh oh Grace losing is winning the fight As I lay down my will and the whole world is still And I wake up to all that is true Love is that you Oh grace you always knew Every dream that I surrendered Was a stone you rolled away I was sailing in the sunshine Now I’m dancing in the rain In ashes you found beauty In fear you offer faith Oh oh oh Grace how can the darkness be light Oh oh oh Grace losing is winning the fight As I lay down my will and the whole world is still And I wake up to all that is true Love is that you Oh grace you always knew Solo Oh oh oh Grace how can the darkness be light Oh oh oh Grace losing is winning the fight As I lay down my will and the whole world is still And I wake up to all that is true Love is that you Oh grace you always knew Grace, Grace, Grace

If I could turn back time I might change everything or nothing at all Sorrow has a way of carving out a place for all the tears that fall But I’m ready to release the pain I’ve carried I’m not drowning anymore I see the light I see the day I see life like I never have before Cause the question is the answer And the answer is the reason I keep chasing down forever every day Somehow it’s in not knowing where the river might be going That keeps life full of mystery and grace Even the wind never knows where it’s gonna blow Love only knows My heart can’t tell the difference anymore between the angels and the clouds And these beautiful and broken wings have made it through another storm somehow I may never understand it but my darkness Is the pathway to my peace It’s in laying down my need to have the answers My soul is finally free Cause the question is the answer And the answer is the reason I keep chasing down forever every day Somehow it’s in not knowing where the river might be going That keeps life full of mystery and grace Even the wind never knows where it’s gonna blow Love Only Knows Solo Even the wind never knows where it’s gonna blow Feeling the goodness in every step of the path I chose Maybe I’m home maybe I’ve still got miles to go Love only knows Love only knows

When the shadows fall and fade to black And the rising waters rage and crash And the ground I stood on crumbles out from under me When the ones I trusted turn away And they bend me until I could break My defense is my surrender to what I believe I choose love I choose love I choose love I choose love When forgiveness seems just out of reach I will wait until the light finds me To unleash the chains of doubt and let the world be flawed Maybe we’re all perfect as we are Heaven’s candles in a field of stars One heart, one dream, one answer to what heals us all I choose love I choose love I choose love I choose love Solo I choose love I choose love I choose love I choose love I choose love

Somebody’s brother did something today Somebody’s brother Something unspeakable so hard to believe But he was somebody’s brother  It’s easy to judge maybe we have the right But there’s more to a story then we see in the night For every lost soul maybe we played our part To shatter a heart with so much to hide We’ve all been alone We’ve all had pain Some of us get through Some of us break It’s so hard to understand The hurt inside a man And harder to forgive  Until we love one another Like somebody’s brother  Somebody’s brother might’ve been mine Or was it your brother If only, if only I could wash away The pain for the other’s In one broken moment everything changed But are we branded by our darkest day And all the years that only held the best of us Are they all just swept away We’ve all been alone We’ve all had pain Some of us get through Some of us break It’s so hard to understand The hurt inside a man And harder to forgive  Until we love one another Like somebody’s brother Somebody’s brother Oh somebody’s brother Somebody’s brother

about

I wrote these songs in the darkest time of my life and with each song, God pulled me closer to the light until I was standing fully in it again. As you listen to each song, my hope is that you’ll find healing on your own journey back to blue skies.
