lyrics

I don’t know why you’re so scared all the time; you’ve got reason to be bold.
You don’t even try for fear of failing. That fear is singing to your bones
And it goes on and on like a protest song saying, “I won’t do it…I can’t, I won’t do it”

And then one day we’re all gonna turn to clay when this waking life is over
Do you wanna die with a worried mind? Misunderstanding on your shoulder?
And before your eyes goes your whole life? You’ll say, “no, I – I didn’t mean it! Oh, I did not mean it!”

Man, I gotta see you standing up to me and not crying our for rescue
Cuz I’ve been trying to get inside your mind, have a look around and know you
And I’ll say it forever like a broken record, “you’re my favorite.”

Though songwriting has yet to lead to fame & fortune, opportunity, adventure, & delight have yet to cease. ... more
