Track Name: Tree
Verse:
I see the trees round the poor girl’s home,
I see it’s branches are thin,
Roots of distrust are lying
Birds make their home down the road

Verse:
I feel the weight of the strong storm
Thick with envy and with pride
Worry fills my deepest prayers
For I know, not many care

Chorus:
Grow your trees
Grow your trees

Bridge:
I saw the girl
Track Name: Time
Chorus:
Whatever happened , to
When what’s expected of you
To love and work hard

Whatever happened, to
When what’s expected of you
To give your home away.


Verse:
Since when are fades and quiet grays,
Cherished in photographs
Since when is old and tattered, neat.
Dressed up filthy, Seen as clean

Verse:
Forgive me if, I’m far behind,
Forgive me if, I’m now blind,
But I have changed where, I’ll now sit,
I won’t move til I feel it’s fit.

Bridge:
To gaze upon the flocks of folks,
Listen to all the jokes
Come to pass, in the photographs.
In photographs, in memories
Track Name: All Along (feat. Kaitlyn Bell)
Verse:
If I’d count the times,
That I wondered where you were,
A proven care,
A chance to see my heart.

A big mistake,
To let you go,
And then say that I’m alright,
A fight inside,
Hide away my life once again

Verse:
Sat by the fire,
So my eyes they’d tire
And fade into a dream,
I’d hope to lose
What I cannot choose
Let my mind sail me away,

Get lost at sea,
A chance for me,
Lose sight of what has come,
I’d sooner face, another storm,
Then off I go to flee

Chorus:
I was wrong,
All along,
I was right,
Where I belong.
I was wrong,
All along
To have gone
Track Name: Secrets (feat. Maurice Goodwin)
Verse:
Follow the sun,
Follow the black crow,
Follow only what you know
Only what you know
Forgive the wind,
For it means not what it does,
It means not to take you far from home

Verse:
Beware of peace,
Beware of calmness
Beware of love, that’s far from home
A far off journey,
most likely teach me,
Of stranger’s secrets and lives before

Chorus:
I looked into the eyes
Looked into the eyes
Of that bear
Track Name: Still Wrong
Chorus:
Don’t you treasure me the same,
Your heart unfolds, with open vain
Not a single ounce to gain,
Just pain

Verse:
Even in the weeds I feel your smile,
Fires by fires, burnt up miles
Chosen sunrise, sings your freedom,
After all I’ve seen God

Verse:
Pride stirs heartache, chases souls afar
Choirs and choirs sing of scars,
Rulers mention of the tension,
Power of nature and of self


Bridge:
All were pointing fingers, straight into my chest,
But none were making promises to do their very best
Suddenly it’s my fault?, lay me down to rest,
I know I’m not perfect, I know I’m not perfect
See I tried and I tried to love just like my God,
He died and He died for those whose mock and prod.
Give it all for those around me, give it all for those I love
And somehow I’m still wrong, somehow I’m still wrong
