Not Alone

I want to scream, I want to cry
Take your place; give you life
It doesn’t matter, how I try
I don’t get the reason why

It’s not fair, it’s not right
You’re too young, for this fight
I’ll hold you close, through the night
Together we will find the light

Don’t give up, don’t let go
Baby, you are not alone
I am there through all your fears
I’ll take your hand and dry your tears
I’d give my breath for you to know
Baby, you are not alone

You’re feeling weak, I’ll be strong
We’ll beat this thing and carry on
The road is rough, the battle long
But listen to the words of this song

Don’t give up, don’t let go
Baby, you are not alone
I am there through all your fears
I’ll take your hand and dry your tears
I’d give my breath for you to know
Baby, you are not alone

Whether you’re 15, or 35
This darkness tries to take your life
But know I’m here, by your side
Cling to your faith, let your spirit fly

And don’t give up, don’t let go
Baby, you are not alone
I am here through all your fears
I’ll take your hand and dry your tears
I’d give my breath for you to know
Baby, you are not alone





I wrote this in a state of brokenness for a dear friend of mine with stage 4 cancer. I'm angry and bitter and broken... words can't describe enough how I feel... so I wrote it in a song.

Learn To Dance

I’m taking measure, taking stock
I’ve come so far, and learned a lot

A life spent chasing, on the run
Lessons learned, and damage done

Some things were easy, others hard
We’re ever learning who we are
Falling down, and bouncing back
The train keeps rolling down the track

So take some time, learn to dance
Find the “you” – you left to chance
Don’t let life just pass you by
Every now and then you need to try
To overlook the circumstance
And take some time to learn to dance

It’s a balance, it’s a struggle
So much on your plate to juggle
Where does the time seem to go
How I do it all, I seldom know

I guess the secret is to learn
Which candle needs to burn
What to hold, when to pass
Yeah this life goes by so fast

So take some time, learn to dance
Find the “you” – you left to chance
Don’t let this life slip away
Enjoy each moment of the day
Try to overlook the circumstance
Remember to stop and learn to dance

I’m taking measure, taking stock

I’ve come so far, and learned a lot
A life spent chasing, on the run
Lessons learned, and damage done

I need to stop and learn to dance
Find the “me” – I left to chance
Too much time has come and gone
I’ve been running far too long
I need to take a breath, take a glance
Take the time, and learn to dance

Learn to dance

It’s a balance, it’s a struggle

So much on my plate to juggle






How nice it is to sit down and breathe... To stop working so hard... stop trying so hard... stop looking so hard... but just sit down and breathe and enjoy how far I've come... to celebrate what I am and not worry about what I'm not... I hope you can relate!
