Story Behind The Song

I went through an identity crisis after years of touring as a solo singer songwriter and then suddenly finding myself in a very different lifestyle and this song helped me to rebuild my life and start over.

Song Description

about the ups and downs of life and the moment of truth when you decide to dive in, be brave, have faith and play full out and shine your light unapologetically.

Lyrics

In this life we are
pearls of moments
only strung together after we are broken
go on and gather them
try and line 'em up
then watch as they roll from the table
you can't hold them with your fingers
let 'em make their own design

Then you look into the mirror
And you don't know who you are
Maybe then for just one instant
You were lost and now your found
Suddenly you see what matters
and you wanna make things right
You know the heart it can't be trusted
So you play all in to follow the light

Who am I to say how to live your life?
You gotta walk alone through the fire
Just to find yourself deep in the woods
As the sun gives way to the mire
Up ahead I see a clearing
I trust a knowing deep inside
I am not the one who's speaking
It is truth that cannot hide

Why's it gotta be so hard?
Why you gotta be so mean?
When I am down that's when I really need a friend
I only know one thing
I'm no good alone
My mind is a dangerous place to go
Just when everything is falling
To pieces all around
That's when I need hope that's calling,
"Let me carry it all"

Then you look into the mirror
And you don't know who you are
Maybe then for just one instant
You were lost and now your found
Then you look into the mirror
And you don't know who you are
Maybe then for just one instant
You were lost but now your found

Suddenly you see what matters
And you want to make things right
you know the heart it can't be trusted
So you play all in to follow the light
ah ah ah
ah ah ah
Follow the light
ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah
