I'm Yours

She’s only three years old, but
She loves the sway and flow
And moves to any music
I love to watch her go
How quickly
She owns me
She’s all I know
Four years have gone by quickly
How can I stop this growth?
And keep my girl so little
It’s hard to watch her go
How quickly
She owns me
She’s all I know
While I’m still here, I’m yours
Since you crawled on all fours
And before you were born
While I’m still here I’m yours

Calm
04:24

Calm… stay calm.
Carry on… hold on.
Can you breathe… just breathe.
And stay calm… hold on.
When the pressure finds the flame
And it’s rising
It’s not easy to stay—
Calm… stay calm.
Carry on… hold on.
Can you breathe… just breathe.
And stay calm… hold on.
When it grips inside you
And it’s tightening
It gets harder to stay calm.
And there’s no one else to blame
Thoughts are racing
It gets harder to stay—
Calm… stay calm.
Carry on… hold on.
Can you breathe… just breathe.
And stay calm… hold on.

Your Life Is
03:27

Drinking wine under the crashing of the ocean
Not afraid of what you see
Swim a line to where the stars come down and touch the ground
We all miss the man who drowned.
Your life is: Much shorter than you knew
Your life is: Over and gone
Your life is: Enjoyed by a small few
Your life is:
Riptide pulled you back, a cliff under the ocean
You fought the tug too hastily
If some taught you that to beat the tide swim to the side
We’d not miss the man who died
Your life is: Much shorter than you knew
Your life is: Over and gone
Your life is: Enjoyed by a small few
Your life is:

Help Me
04:22
|

It’s the turn of a phrase;
When the right words won’t come but you dig for them anyway.
Just say what you mean
Or it’s meaningless sayings you’re spraying through filtering.
Can you help me?
I ran roughshod over whatever’s in my way.
Trampled and maimed and left for broken.
Sewn up and calloused you still reached for my hand.
I’m so jealous of your empathy.
There’s a sign that I made
And I hold it up high to warn others to step aside.
I’m trying to change
Until then my horn blows to get them out of the way.
Can you help me?

I find I’m digging deeper
Could be treasure, could be my grave.
More blind as I get older
See the dirt fly through bent wire frames.
A long look in the mirror but there’s something out of place
Twenty years my senior staring me right in the face
But at least I have my health.
Yeah, at least I have my health.
There’s a ringing when it’s quiet
When it’s loud it all sounds the same.
I’m tired, but I keep digging.
There’s a pill to help with the pain.
A long look in the mirror but there’s something out of place
Thirty years my senior staring me right in the face
But at least I have my health.
Yeah, at least I have my health.
I’ve found my buried treasure
It was staring me right in the face
There’s a peace that comes with knowing
All that digging got me to this place
I’ve lived a life worth living
I’ve shared love and passion and grace
I’ll rest these eyes a moment
Just take off these old bent wire frames.
A long look in the mirror and there’s nothing out of place
Forty years my senior staring me right in the face
But at least I have my health.
Yeah, at least I have my health.

Pass It On
05:19

Light up the stage;
Be sure to give more than what you might take away.
Project your range;
And know that soft can scream things that yells can’t contain.
I’ll be here when you need me.
I’ll be watching from the back of the room.
Even when you can’t see me,
I’ll be watching everything that you do.
And I’m so proud of you. So proud of you.
Mean what you say;
The weight of words can lift or sink you instantly.
Give credit away
And those you give it to will gladly pave your way.
I’ll be here when you need me.
I’ll be watching from the back of the room.
Even when you can’t see me,
I’ll be watching everything that you do.
And I’m so proud of you. So proud of you.
Pass it on
This isn’t my wisdom. It came from my father, and his dad before him.
They look on
They’re here when you need them, you can always lean on them, ah.
Sing along
We’ll harmonize with you, build up the best in you with each song.
Pass it on
Now it’s your wisdom, it’s up to you to carry it on.
Pass it on
This isn’t my wisdom. It came from my father, and his dad before him.
Pass it on
Now it’s your wisdom, it’s up to you to carry it on.
Pass it on
Pass it on
Pass it on

Not How It Turned Out
03:23
|
|||
There was a time I used to think
That working hard was all you had to do
To get ahead and make your mark
Just pull up your bootstraps and step out of the dark
So I got a job and bust my hump
And worked too late to do the things I loved
The bootstraps broke, I fell flat on my face
Ignoring your passions doesn’t pay to great
Ooooh… It’s not how it turned out.
Remember when we used to say
Access to information’ll save the world someday
Remember when they use to shout
More guns in school’ll keep the bad guys out
Those who think they know what’s best
Think of themselves and they ignore the rest
Just do what’s right and they ignore the rest
Just do what’s right and follow your heart
Listen to the thumping that’s inside of your chest, or:
Oooh… it’s not how it turned out.
It’s not what other people say
Conventional wisdom’s just that
You got to get out of your own way
If you want to take it back

Get It Away
04:02
|

You’re breathing but it hurts.
You’re screaming at the world.
And you get it away so you won’t burn.
And you get it away but your back won’t turn.
You don’t turn…
You come
You come looking for anyone who might hold
What you miss.
Then recoil, and you get it away.
You know
A clenched jaw might only break your teeth
Release. Step back and just get it away.
You’re breathing but it hurts.
You’re screaming at the world.
And you get it away so you won’t burn.
And you get it away but your back won’t turn.
You don’t turn…
Three AM
Doesn’t shine with lines from quick witted minds
Anymore.
Sit alone and hope it all just goes away.
Go back
Go back and you’d do it all differently.
You would. You’d just get it away.
You’re breathing but it hurts.
You’re screaming at the world.
And you get it away so you won’t burn.
And you get it away but your back won’t turn.
You don’t turn…
You’re breathing but it hurts.
You’re screaming at the world.
And you get it away so you won’t burn.
And you get it away but your back won’t turn.
You don’t turn…

Holding On
04:04
|
|||
It’s all crawled to a hush
A pin just fell I didn’t see
We don’t go outside much
For fear of what’s inside of me
I wake up where I work
Commute is down significantly
I forget to eat lunch
And feed on screens in front of me
Holding on
In a world gone wrong
Hope it won’t be long
Till it’s done and gone
Gas stations, shopping carts
They never used to get to me
Now I’m on high alert
So I don’t hurt my family
Holding on
In a world gone wrong
Hope it won’t be long
Till it’s done and gone
Shelter in place
Where else would I go?
Shelter in place
Wait it out alone.
Holding on
In a world gone wrong
Hope it won’t be long
Till it’s done and gone
Holding on
In a world gone wrong
Hope it won’t be long
Till it’s done and gone

Come By It Honestly
03:21
|
|||
You come by it honestly, but
You’re your own worst enemy, and
You’re running fast in place
You can’t keep up this pace.
Honestly I can see you’re like me.
Honestly I can see you’re like me.
We can’t chase you around
It’s time you come back down.
You come by it honestly, but
I wish you’d just learn from me, and
Avoid all those mistakes
The same ones I once made.
