PROVIDE Balance is a moving mark to strike When to work or call it a night I plan it out but to no avail Scared whichever way I tip the scale The birds don’t worry, whistling in the trees Flying off on a gentle breeze Good God/good grace, higher are His ways I’m not in control No shame/no pride, God will provide I shall not want for anything at all Anxious thoughts take ahold of me “Have you provided for your family?” A weary prayer to tuck them into bed And cycle back to racing in my head

Love Is 03:02
lyrics

LOVE IS Love is a battered banner holding through the night And not a firework display of fading light Love is not proud, it never fails, it always perseveres Love is a tempering of every deep desire A hearth to offer warmth and not a wild fire Love knows and stronger grows, without a list of wrongs Love is a call to surrender your rights Love means be ready to lay down your life That’s what love is Love is an anchor held, refusing to give way Love is a choice that must be chosen everyday Love must make every effort to not drift away Die to yourself, love has no greater example than this Love is to put another first before your own happiness

Bright World 03:18

BRIGHT WORLD It was the now of times, taken by surprise Into a world that we’d come to fear But in the still moments, pulling quiet focus We prepared for you to be here I’ve been here from the beginning But only God can see this through So I pray to stand right beside you As your big bright world comes into view There’s nothing like that very first night Where nervousness and joy collides The rush of feelings you can’t deny We prayed and gave you a name A family portrait entered frame The start of something we can’t describe Even now, as I see you growing My heart overflows I dream of the man you’ll become You are loved more than you even know

Finding You 04:06
lyrics

FINDING YOU I see you searching To try and make sense Of this broken world that Doesn’t value your gifts And it breaks me every time Deep down inside my chest The world reflects back at me Against your gentle eyes The shades of perspective seem So different from mine Don’t hold back anything This is where beauty lies Don’t carry on alone, I’ll carry you Casting my fears aside, laid bare in offering Extending my strengths to you as well as my faltering Nothing held back, every part of me Every day, you will find me fighting for your heart As if I have everything to lose I will never be perfect but one thing’s for sure You will find me finding you

Forever Melody 03:03
lyrics

FOREVER MELODY You are the song in my heart You are the skip in my step You are a godsend to me You my tenderest joy You are my softer voice My forever melody When I get above the fog of every day I look down upon a life I don’t deserve And with clarity of mind, I have to give thanks That I get to walk with you through every twist & turn The sleepless nights multiply With every child in tow The sting of the process as Something beautiful grows Without you, I’d be tempted To give into despair And miss out on the blessings That have always been there You are the song I keep singing My forever melody

about

BRIGHT WORLD is a 5 song reflection on my marriage & fatherhood journey so far. The opening song, “Provide”, is about anxiety over work/life balance. “Love Is” is about clearly defining a word that is often overused or misused. “Bright World” is a song I wrote right after the birth of my first son. “Finding You” is a duet with my wife about our commitment to being emotionally available for our children, even as we still have much to learn about autism. And finally, there was no better way to end this project than with “Forever Melody”, an anthem for the love of my life - Chelsey.

I'm also in the prog rock band Notion Blue. This is a different creative outlet for me. One where I try not to write prog rock. ... more
