beautiful world riches
It was a beautiful letdown, the day I knew, that all the riches this world had to offer me, will never do.
hate believe fighting
Darkness cannot cast out darkness. You need a light for that. Fear cannot cast out fear. You're gonna need hope for that death warrants more death. But I believe life wants more life and I'm convinced that the greatest weapon we've got is LOVE! And maybe, in a world full of fighters, in a world imploding with hate, maybe to be a lover, you gotta be a fighter. Maybe that's the biggest fight, the only fight worth fighting, the fight you're gonna be in for the rest of your life.
blue sky stories
Your story matters, who you are matters, tonight matters, none of it is an accident. You were born for the blue skies.
eye light times-like-these
I yearn to live and love and burn, and yet so much of my time is spent faking and forgetting, faking and forgetting I carry out my disbelief with uninspired hands, my eyes shut, my emotions dulled, my spirit numb. In times like these I am in desperate need of truth to come to me like a blinding light, like a splinter in my soul, reminding me of the brevity of my time here on earth.
thinking problem solve
I don’t think we can solve the outside problems until we solve the ones within.
regret past yesterday
If we spend our time obsessing with the future or regretting the past, then we will never live. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow and yesterday cannot be changed.
beautiful ocean struggle
From the shore, the ocean is forever. It's a beautiful, dangerous place. Music is tied to the sea, born from the struggle, looking for hope. Because hope belongs in the dark places.

Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.
running challenges this-life
My challenge is, do not run away from the hard questions. Truly ask yourself what's worth living for in this life.
wise regret men
I'm learning how much I have to learn, how little I know, how fragile my understanding is. I'm learning to be thankful and patient; today is all that we will ever have in this life. If we spend our time obsessing with the future or regretting the past then we will never live. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow and yesterday cannot be changed. The wise man seeks God in the now and brings both his regrets and fears before Him. The freedom that we are offered is truly amazing: to live, today, free from even our own fallen desires. This is where I want to be.

The trick was actually rehearsing and arranging and even recording parts of it on the road. It's a challenge because it's hard to remember where you put your wallet let alone your parts to a song.
