This one draws on my experiences with Yoga and my "efforts" to still the thought waves of my mind: a task easier to sing about than to actually do!

lyrics

Getting ahead of myself is something I've always done
But I gotta learn to slow down, I gotta walk not run
Worryin' ain't no good, it's like praying for what you don't want
Like thinking up your own worst thought and giving it your mind to haunt
Workin' myself to death, to buy what I can't own
It just ends up owning me, and leaves me feelin' alone
The more that I let go, the more my life unfolds
As if all that I possessed was just making a bigger hole

Chorus:
So I give up my keys to this roller coaster
And still the thought-waves of my mind
I ain't seen nothin' yet, I don't even need to fret
'Cuz how can I heal somebody else if I can't even heal myself
How can I love somebody else if I can't even love myself
It has to start with me

I stood on my feet, working 'til they turned blue
Even though I liked the heat, I was always missin' you
Tighten up my fist, saving for a rainy day
Think of all I've missed from trying to have my own way
Keeping things to myself never did serve me well
Everything I tried to hide was always the reason I failed
Now there ain't a reason left for second guessing myself
I'm the only thing between me and everything else

Love compels me to make music.

Love gives meaning to my life and life provides the meaning for my music.

Music reminds me I am not alone.

My hope is that my songs do the same for you. ... more
