Untied is a song I wrote about outgrowing and releasing yourself from a toxic, unhealthy relationship. It about relearning how to be yourself again when parts had been suppressed.

Lyrics:

Realized

That I really do love

All those things I dreamed of

Now I shine bright

Not wrapped up

In someone else's drama

Untied

Yeah, I'll get by

In my own time

Sunrise

Showed me a sign

There's more to my life

Unfazed

My heart saved

Seeing what I'm knowing

Knowing what I'm seeing

Alive again

Ten out of ten

I'm feeling what I'm

Knowing what I'm feeling

Untied

Yeah, I'll get by

In my own time

Sunrise

Showed me a sign

There's more to my life

Peaceful

I'm getting used to it all

Will your fall

Leave you humble

Untied

Yeah, I'll get by

In my own time

Sunrise

Showed me a sign

There's more to my life

Meaning:

Keep Your Fire Burning is a song I wrote about for those in the waiting period of life - or when times are tough. It's about keeping that fire inside even in the patience and trying to still find and create joy in life rather than hiding.

Lyrics:

Hey patience is a virtue

Keep your fire burning

Join in get your feet wet

No use in being upset

Reset don't go hiding

Everything comes in good timing

Forgive if you don't forget

Hey keep on pulling through

Something tells me something

Is coming for you

Wait patience is a virtue

Keep your fire burning

Not running on fumes

Not running on fumes

Speak up test your luck

Have some fun

The opposite of anger is love

Truth keeps moving

It can be confusing

But you seek inner peace

It only takes a few things

Hey keep on pulling through

Something tells me something

Is coming for you

Wait patience is a virtue

Keep your fire burning

Not running on fumes

Not running on fumes

Hey keep on pulling through

Something tells me something

Is coming for you

Wait patience is a virtue

Keep your fire burning

Not running on fumes

Not running on fumes

Different Lives Different Lessons is a song I wrote about having respect and grace for different people, as we all have unique lives and with that comes unique lessons, even if some of the challenges and lessons have themes across time and place. Take it in stride, we are all learning on this Earth in our unique ways.

Lyrics:

The doctor the gardener

The painter the maker

All got them our problems

Some made and some can't shake them

Our shadow can't hide from

Make peace with our secrets

Different lives different lessons

Different minds and imperfections

I've got mine you've got your perspective

Take it in stride we've got

Different lives different lessons

My strength is your weakness

You're stronger when I can't carry on

We seesaw rise and fall

We balance the challenge

Our patterns don't doubt them

All learning the world keeps turning

Different lives different lessons

Different minds and imperfections

I've got mine you've got your perspective

Take it in stride we've got

Different lives different lessons

Different lives different lessons

Different minds and imperfections

I've got mine you've got your perspective

Take it in stride we've got

Different lives different lessons

Meaning:

Facing Fears is a song I wrote about talking to your fears and tell them to step aside while you embark on brave endeavors of your life that are needed to confront.

Lyrics:

Awake from sleep

Get back to rest

Trying to speak

Believe what you said

Driven by fear

Don't live with regret

Grabbing the wheel

When it comes to a head

Fear please

Step aside for a minute

Fear I don't need you

To make all my decisions

Fear step back you're not holding me back

I ain't gonna just react

You're not casted for this second act

You try to revise

Just send your message

Run around in disguise

You're not progressing

See the open skies

Mark your intention

When you free your mind

Let go of all the pressure

Fear please

Step aside for a minute

Fear I don't need you

To make all my decisions

Fear step back you're not holding me back

I ain't gonna just react

You're not casted for this second act

And this is it

Took a couple twists and turns inside me

We're not meant to exist

With all this fear and hiding

Fear please

Step aside for a minute

Fear I don't need you

To make all my decisions

Fear step back you're not holding me back

I ain't gonna just react

You're not casted for this second act

Meaning:

Survivor is a song I wrote as a tribute to all survivors of harm that has been done to them. It's an empowering song and also a reminder to take care of yourself because even the ones who never give up get tired sometimes.

Lyrics:

You're a strong one

Built for survival

Nothing you won't fight for

You're a survivor

Nothing gets to you

Yeah, others try to

You won't be lied to

You're a survivor

Sing I'm a survivor

I put my best foot forward

And sometimes I get tired

I'm a survivor

And I stay inspired

Nothing that I hide from

'Cause I'm a survivor

Walking on a rope bridge

Don't think you can trust it

You know what real love is

And when it just ain't it

Learned from experience

Don't get so furious

There may not be justice

But the lies won't hold up

Sing I'm a survivor

I put my best foot forward

And sometimes I get tired

I'm a survivor

And I stay inspired

Nothing that I hide from

'Cause I'm a survivor

Be careful what you wish for

And know that you are worth more

Sing I'm a survivor

I put my best foot forward

And sometimes I get tired

I'm a survivor

And I stay inspired

Nothing that I hide from

'Cause I'm a survivor

Meaning:

Already Am is a song I wrote about having at least one person who believes in you. It's about confronting imposter syndrome.

Lyrics:

Expectations yeah

I've met them

Face to face

Could not fake it

No I had to go

Go and find my way own way

I could be someone

Give me a chance

Because I already am

Someone to someone who really cares

Inspired me to be who I am

Already am

Looking up

To reach the sun was blinding

And there's no denying

Blazed a trail

Not afraid to fail

Yeah, confidence unlocked all the rest

I could be someone

Give me a chance

Because I already am

Someone to someone who really cares

Inspired me to be who I am

Already am

Just one person

One shred of decency

I am worth it

Bring out the best in me

I could be someone

Give me a chance

Because I already am

Someone to someone who really cares

Inspired me to be who I am

Already am

Meaning:

Sun Showers - Dance Version is a new, fun version of an old song I wrote "Sun Showers". I had a vision of finding a new way to make these meaningful lyrics resonate since some listeners may prefer a dance, upbeat song. It's about creating meaning in life through relationships despite the unpredictability.

Lyrics:

I lay my head on a pillow

A worried mind will go where it will go

Unlike tides that rise and tides that roll

Parts of life they just don't seem to flow

I'm sitting here on my patio

And the good times shine and then they go

Like clouds that hide and clouds that show

Sometimes life is like a sun shower

Sun showers

Life can be unpredictable

But I choose to spend my time with her

Throughout all the sun showers

Flowers die then flowers grow

With every drop of water

There are some things I may never know

But the blossoms always give me hope

Like sun showers

Life can be unpredictable

But I choose to spend my time with her

Throughout all the sun showers

Sun showers

Life can be unpredictable

But I choose to spend my time with her

Throughout all the sun showers

Meaning:

Time - Chill Version is a song I wrote about how time can heal but time can also take away meaningful parts of life so it's best to make the most of the time we have.

Lyrics:

No one is fast enough

And it won't be outdone

You can't hold on too much

And don't try to reason just listen

Time heals but time steals your favorite things

And time's real don't forget there's no bargaining

So make this time

What you want it to be to be

And be where you're gonna be

There's no recipe

You can't bend or stretch it you'll see

There's no replacement

So care for your relationships

Time heals but time steals your favorite things

And time's real don't forget there's no bargaining

So make this time

What you want it to be to be

And be where you're gonna be

Life goes on

In time we remember

We cannot

Live forever

Forever

Time heals but time steals your favorite things

And time's real don't forget there's no bargaining

So make this time

What you want it to be to be

And be where you're gonna be

Meaning:

Fall in New England - Harmony Version is a song I wrote about appreciating the autumn months in New England or wherever there is foliage and beauty in nature.

Lyrics:

It's raining leaves

As the summer leaves

Walking on Main Street

The colors are changing

And the trees look like a painting

Breathe the air it's free for the taking

It's fall in New England

I got a feeling it's what I needed

It's fall in New England

I got a feeling it's what I needed

Shorter days

Less time to waste

The sun is poking through the trees

It's leaving it's evening

But I'm not retreating

It's fall in New England

I got a feeling it's what I needed

It's fall in New England

I got a feeling it's what I needed

Find your comfort

Go outside with each other

Feeling one with nature

All the parts that I love

It's fall in New England

I got a feeling it's what I needed

It's fall in New England

I got a feeling it's what I needed

Christmas Love Song (Duet Version) is a song I wrote about the special experience of having love through the fall and into the holidays. It's about cherishing those moments.

Lyrics:

Golden leaves

And pumpkin seeds

A slow cool breeze

Then tall green trees

There's only one more thing

This will be my

Love song for Christmas

You know we found our peace

Surrounds us like a flurry

My love song for Christmas

You know our love runs deep

Like red and green

Loving you on Christmas

Summer love

Is summer fun

But there's nothing better

Than holding love through December

Cozy up in your sweater

This will be my

Love song for Christmas

You know we found our peace

Surrounds us like a flurry

My love song for Christmas

You know our love runs deep

Like red and green

Loving you on Christmas

Groceries turn into a masterpiece

Special songs we sing

Everyone smiling big

Raindrops turn into snowflakes

Holidays

Bring us together

This will be my

Love song for Christmas

You know we found our peace

Surrounds us like a flurry

My love song for Christmas

You know our love runs deep

Like red and green

Loving you on Christmas

Loving you on Christmas
