Hello
03:39

You know time is of the essence.
You know love is my first language,
and if you give me time, I'll write this first line
to see if you can translate it
and if you can, pick up your hand and wave hello.
We can dance if you want to.
We could make plans if you want to
or we could scratch all that and go with the flow
We can laugh together.
We could fall in love together.
All you have to do is say "Hello."
We don't have to be so serious.
Why look around when all you see is us?
Cause I'm not playing for keeps
unless it's you and me,
but if you leave, take me with you.
I want to be where you are.
You are like my shining star, beautiful and bright.
Come on baby. Don't give me a "maybe."
Say "Hello."

Reconcile

We all have visions. We all have dreams.
We all have doubts and everything in between.
We all show love, we just show it differently.
We all mess up, and more than we want to believe.
I'm guilty of it too, but that doesn't mean we can't improve
I will reconcile with humanity
because even lost souls are still good to me.
Come what may no matter what it may be,
the people of this world will live in harmony.
Things change, more often than you think.
It's like we dance to the tune of uncertainty.
We fight, probably more than we want,
but we nurse our wounds, clean up, and move on.
I know it's a slippery slope, but I'm not losing hope.
Wake up, open your eyes.
Get up and give love to troubled lives.
Try to get away from deceit and lies.
Just wake up and take the world by surprise.
Open your eyes.
Seems so hard just to make a move
when life itself is falling down on you,
but one good thing leads to another if you try.
So, pick yourself up off the ground and get rid of that disguise.

Unconditional

I hope you know when the rain falls,
as it washes away, I'll hold you close to me.
I hope you know when the storm comes,
I'll be your shelter. Give me one chance baby.
I know you're not next to never
but you're too close to "I don't know."
I know you get scared when we say forever,
but we've got a long way to go.
I'm in if your in, just give me one change baby.
Your heart of gold is the hope I'm looking for lately,
and through everything, thick and thin,
I really want to show you what love is.
I promise I'll give you all I can. I'm unconditional.
Not a soul can touch your smile,
and the way it give me comfort and piece of mind.
What's the story behind those eyes?
Because they're working wonders for me tonight.
Everywhere that I've been looking for love was so wrong.
It always seemed like I was trying to live for just another day.
Never before in my life have I ever felt so alone,
but here you come, sweeping in, and you make everything OK.
I promise I'll give you all I can. Just let me be your man.
I'm unconditional.

Brothers & Sisters
04:21

You're painting all these pictures
of things that you can't see
You're making accusations
based off of things you don't believe
Where do we go from here?
Where do we fight these fears?
Is it that hard to see?
If we are the body of a dying breed
living amongst a body in dire need,
why haven't we done something?
When did we stop caring for others,
our brothers and sisters?
You draw back the arrow
but you don't know what you're aiming for.
You're quick to pull the trigger
just like your quick to run out the door.
Why do I waste my time
trying to write these lines
if you don't take the time
to do what's right?

Car Ride

Moments like this it's hard for me
to capture your beauty and tell you what I see.
In my dreams, from dusk until dawn,
I'd lay you down on a bed of roses
and give you everything you want
But how could you stress when you're not wrong?
All you're trying to do is write a song for you and your heart.
No, it doesn't rhyme but it's full of words
that carry compassion and never hurt.
I'm just waiting on my part.
There's a lot of memories that are way long gone,
but I'll never forget that car ride home.
You were so beautiful, and every word you said
screamed that you love Jesus just as much as I did.
I'm looking through the doorway as you wave goodbye
wondering "why this angel from Heaven
would want an ordinary guy?"
It's been a while since I've felt your love.
Even driving down this highway used to mean so much.
There's a lot of memories that are trapped in this song,
but I'll never forget that car ride home.

"Step out into the unknown,
away from your comfort zone
and make your own history"
I kept telling myself that over again,
testing time in this trance
that I thought would define everything about me.
Between my heart and my mind, I couldn't decide
the right time to make my move
and show the world what it means to live.
But along the way you understand
that the true measure of being a man is to
love, live, and forgive.
The clock strikes 5 and I'm awake
knowing that, in my current state,
I probably shouldn't be thinking.
There's a loved one on my mind.
In fact, she's there all the time,
but tonight, her brown eyes are glistening.
It's not that I don't miss you,
because I wish I could hold you and kiss you, but
at this point, it seems I'm way too late.
A part of me is dying without your love,
but I'm not denying
that my selfishness decided our fate.
Between you and me,
there's some unclean history
that never makes for a clean slate.
My feet are shaking in my shoes
because there's quite a few faces in this room
in which we probably could relate.
And the wild card in me is giving thought that there could be
such thing as a third chance,
but my heart is trying to move on, so all I have left is this song
that tells the story of an interesting romance.
Strayed so far away from my comfort zone.
I'm traveling out into the unknown.
To write my history, I had to leave home.
It's funny how much you learn when you're alone.

Will You

Well, it's 2010, and I'm standing at the edge of your doorstep.
You were beautiful then, and you're still beautiful today.
Here I am, now, in this silent living room
wishing I could give you a call and say:
"When this man becomes your own,
when this house becomes your home,
when this song becomes your song,
will you?"
Will you sing to me baby
just like I sing to you?
Will you wait for me baby
just like I wait for you?
Will you stop calling me crazy
when you see just what you do to me?
Do you love me baby
just like I love you?
Well, three years passed, and I'm still in awe when I see you
on this makeshift date night.
Everything about you was perfect and flawless
and all I want is a chance to treat you right.
With God right beside us, we can put the past behind us
and take the road less traveled with our checkered history.
Do you love me baby just like I love you?
"And if you ever change your mind about how you feel inside, I'm not too far away.
No, I'm not too far away."
