Sea Glass (07/2025)

Meaning:

Present Moment is a song I wrote about living in the digital age. It's a meditation on grounding ourselves back into the immediate reality that is around and among us.

Lyrics:

Split seconds  

Grab my attention

Firetrucks and sirens leave my mind and soul divided

Forgot to mention 

This constant tension

All of our desires leave our brains all re-wired

We're scared of being bored

So we stare a little more 

When we gonna open 

The present moment

Lost inside this web

It’s time to come out of it

Don't be so phobic 

Of the present moment

Living life pretend

And the scariest part is

We don't even know it

There's no wait, now

Still feel late, somehow

A whole generation barely face to face and

We're pixelated

Fragmentations 

Waitin’ on someone to save us

We're scared of being bored

So we stare a little more 

When we gonna open 

The present moment

Lost inside this web

It’s time to come out of it

Don't be so phobic 

Of the present moment

Living life pretend

And the scariest part is

We don't even know it

I still can't decide 

Is this still real life?

When we gonna open 

The present moment

Lost inside this web

It’s time to come out of it

Don't be so phobic 

Of the present moment

Living life pretend

When we gonna open 

The present moment

Lost inside this web

It’s time to come out of it

Don't be so phobic 

Of the present moment

Living life pretend

And the scariest part is

We don't even know it

Meaning:

Thread The Needle is a song I wrote about those who have had to be very strong their whole life. It's a reminder that just because someone appears to be very strong does not mean that it's easy. Even the strong ones have to grapple with doubt. However, the chorus brings it together that we can "thread the needle" and make things happen if we can keep our center and work together with one another in harmony.

Lyrics:

People telling you that you're so strong

Always be the one moving along

But they don’t see what’s really going on

Don’t always seem so possible

Center center center center 

Breathe deep, keep peace

Center center center center 

We can do this if we go together

We could thread the needle

With a steady hand

Make it to the sequel

Give yourself a chance

There’s a flow to this dance

There’s plenty of worry to go around

Like there’s always something else to be found

But Rome wasn’t built in a day

Who said we need to build it anyway

Center center center center 

Breathe deep, keep peace

Center center center center 

We can do this if we go together

We could thread the needle

With a steady hand

Make it to the sequel

Give yourself a chance

There’s a flow to this dance

We could thread the needle

With a steady hand

Believe that we can

Make it to the sequel

Give yourself a chance

There’s a flow to this dance

Meaning:

Just Move is a song I wrote about empowering yourself as you walk into a new stage of life.

Lyrics:

I've been in circular motion

Afraid of the ocean

The things I can't see

I can't make a decision

Without algorithms

Influencing me

Just move

Just move

And carry yourself with a little attitude

Be you

Oh, be you

Let yourself breath give a little room

And just move

I've been trying to find it

Happy to enlightened

What should I do

I can't be all that they wanted

Life has just started

And I'll see it through

Just move

Just move

And carry yourself with a little attitude

Be you

Oh, be you

Let yourself breath give a little room

And just move

Just move

Just move

And carry yourself with a little attitude

Be you

Oh, be you

Let yourself breath give a little room

And just move

Meaning:

Purpose is a song I wrote about how we all need to feel a sense of purpose - it's something that is in our spirit, we all need it. The chorus encourages a positive purpose that we can all embrace.

Lyrics:

Everyone needs a purpose

        Even the old man feeds the birds it’s

In our spirit, we all need it

  Here today, gone tomorrow

Let's just say there's a path to follow

If someone smiles, reciprocate it

Go an extra mile if they appreciate it

Be a leader, when they need ya

Show compassion, when it's lacking 

Give what’cha got 

Even if it's not a lot

It’s ain’t ego

It’s just free flow

You can feel it, don’t need a reason

 Here today, gone tomorrow

Let's just say there's a path to follow

If someone smiles, reciprocate it

Go an extra mile if they appreciate it

Be a leader, when they need ya

Show compassion, when it's lacking 

Give what’cha got 

Even if it's not a lot

Meaning:

Sea Glass is a song I wrote about going through hardships in life but coming out well rounded and beautiful, just like sea glass.

Lyrics:

We all start somewhere

Bottled up when times get tough and

Try to hold it all together

Life just don't seem fair

Shattered glass, now drifting past

Can’t stay the same forever

Maybe the change is good

Like breaking habits

Turn into what we never could

Stagnant

We're like 

Sea glass sea glass

I've been lost and found and

Coming out well rounded

Sea glass we’d laugh, or cry

Surviving what we’ve been through 

Coming out beautiful 

Refined

It don’t happen too fast  

We all end up somewhere

You're never stranded, tides aren't random

We can learn to hope

Need a bit more air

It's hard to think 

When you start to sink but

We can learn to float

We're like 

Sea glass sea glass

I've been lost and found and

Coming out well rounded

Sea glass we’d laugh, or cry

Surviving what we’ve been through 

Coming out beautiful 

Refined

It don’t happen too fast  

We're like 

Sea glass sea glass

I've been lost and found and

Coming out well rounded

Sea glass we’d laugh, or cry

Surviving what we’ve been through 

Coming out beautiful 

Refined

It don’t happen too fast  

Meaning:

Old Soul is a song I wrote about a genuine and authentic romantic relationship.

Lyrics:

I needed a melody

You came and inspired me

You pulled on my heartstrings

And made my heart sing

I've been working on this man you see

And keeping faith through all the mystery

Cause I needed an old soul

Felt like somebody I already know

When our eyes meet

It's deeper than deep

Girl you make love feel whole

Something told us to wait and see

For something real that was meant to be

Each moment's like a century

Like rivers flowing into the sea

Cause I needed an old soul

Felt like somebody I already know

When our eyes meet

It's deeper than deep

Girl you make love feel whole

And the touch of your skin

Your hand in my hand

It's a sense of completion

So much more than a feeling

Cause I needed an old soul

Felt like somebody I already know

When our eyes meet

It's deeper than deep

Girl you make love feel whole

Meaning:

Celebrate You is a song I wrote about a healing relationship that provides a context to recover from pain.

Lyrics:

Mistaken

Conflated

Oh silence for weakness

No shame in

What you wanna be sayin'

Don't hide in the meekness

Try to receive this

Love

I'll celebrate you

Love

Everything that you do

That makes you you

Faded

Judgments

They turned into wonder

You've named it

Tamed it

They were only protectors

No longer tethered

Love

I'll celebrate you

Love

Everything that you do

That makes you you

You may know pain

But do you understand

The depths that remain

I'll lend you a hand

So you can

Feel this

Love

I'll celebrate you

Love

Everything that you do

That makes you you

Meaning:

Turn The Page is a song I wrote that is a meditation on how we are all complex human beings walking this Earth. We have so much inside of us that has shaped and influenced who we are. Just like a journal filled with written pages that others do not get to read; yet, somehow, it comes out in different ways metaphorically.

Lyrics:

Dreams come and go and

Streams overflow

Our words and our silence 

Tell the story inside us

Want to be know

But our feelings we hold close

Whistle through the darkness

Hoping someone will find us 

We're all walking pages

Full of words not saying 

Much of what we mean

It comes out metaphorically 

We're all walking energy

Reflecting most of what we see

It's deeper than the surface

Gotta find it through the hurtin’ and pain

So you can turn the page

Dreams come and go and

Streams overflow

Maybe better painted

You can go create it

Stuck in cruise control

Please don't lose hope

Afraid of tears and raining

Is gonna’ mess up your painting

We're all walking pages

Full of words not saying 

Much of what we mean

It comes out metaphorically 

We're all walking energy

Reflecting most of what we see

It's deeper than the surface

Gotta find it through the hurtin’ and pain

So you can turn the page

So many ways

     We communicate 

So many ways

      We communicate 

Even when we don’t

We're all walking pages

Full of words not saying 

Much of what we mean

It comes out metaphorically 

We're all walking energy

Reflecting most of what we see

It's deeper than the surface

Gotta find it through the hurtin’ and pain

So you can turn the page

Meaning:

Sun Showers is a song I wrote about the unpredictability of life. 

Lyrics:

I've been in circular motion

Afraid of the ocean

The things I can't see

I can't make a decision

Without algorithms

Influencing me

Just move

Just move

And carry yourself with a little attitude

Be you

Oh, be you

Let yourself breath give a little room

And just move

I've been trying to find it

Happy to enlightened

What should I do

I can't be all that they wanted

Life has just started

And I'll see it through

Just move

Just move

And carry yourself with a little attitude

Be you

Oh, be you

Let yourself breath give a little room

And just move

Just move

Just move

And carry yourself with a little attitude

Be you

Oh, be you

Let yourself breath give a little room

And just move

Meaning:

Be Bold is a song I wrote about creating meaning in life despite all the tragedy or suffering.

Lyrics:

If everybody's thinking the worst

How we gonna make this work?

How we ever gonna heal  

If we don't really know what's real

Is hatred ever gonna make it better

What if I grow, you grow, we both

Shine a light, wouldn't that bold

As we grow

Be bold

And people

Be bold and

Shine a light just shine a light on this world

Trust trust, how we gonna build it

Rush rush, never really present

Hollow intentions

   Patience is tested 

I've seen it all before like a rerun 

Don't let your mind be numb 

What if I grow, you grow, we both

Shine a light, wouldn't that bold

As we grow

Be bold

And people

Be bold and

Shine a light just shine a light on this world

We all try to feel safe

Some learn to love

Some learn to hate

Sometimes we look away

Be brave

As we grow

Be bold

And people

Be bold and

Shine a light just shine a light on this world

Meaning:

Whisper By The Sea is a song I wrote about getting older and contemplating life's bigger questions. The structure presents a question and answer dynamic.

Lyrics:

Whisper by, whisper by the sea

Life ain't always what it seems to be

We don’t, really understand it

So we try to play the cards we’ve been handed

Whisper by, whisper by the sea

Somethings coming, coming over me

We grow, we're growing older

I can still see it all, I just move slower 

Whisper by, whisper by the sea

Why do things come and go so easily?

Inside it, there is magic

Go and live the life you imagined

Whisper by, whisper by the sea

What should this precious life mean to me?

The sunset, says it all

Reminds you of what you're living for

Whisper by, whisper by the sea

Can I keep coming back when life gets deep?

You, will always know

Even when, you think you don't
