The Window 03:58
Many years and sleepless nights I've laid awake wondering if I had Cast my shadow on the ground and Could I move the earth somehow? But I knew that I had a friend Who would not let my smile go It took awhile for me to see Just how long that you have loved me Cause if we are who we say we are Then you have changed the rules of the game and Where my heart ends where yours begins I can't define this world we're in God may have closed the door, but he Opened a window that I never noticed before Though my world was shattered glass You mended me, forgave my past and Now our lives we'll live as one Our timelessness it has begun Cause if we are who we say we are Then you have changed the rules of the game and Where my heart ends where yours begins I can't define this world we're in God may have closed the door, but he Opened a window that I never noticed before It will be you who ties my shoes when I can't reach my feet It will be you who ties my shoes when I can't reach my feet

Home 03:34
I've never been one for dangerous feats But I like to think my will is strong My heart has never been so still But I try to push it to beat on Seems my soul has never ventured beyond this front porch swing Cause it's at home, and home's where I belong But don't think that I don't often wonder What it would be like To breathe a breath, one breath of courage And take over this poetic life Feels like I've always been told to just take one more step To the other side Well you ask me how my days been My answer's always the same I feel a little lost but I'm right here I'm right here... Round and round I've searched for my dream A place where I feel I can be The longer I searched, I realized Home is inside of me Looks to me like I was searching all the wrong places Cause I'm at home, yes home is right here Silly me, I was searching all the wrong places Cause I'm at home, yes home is in me Oh home is right here

Luna 03:51
Shine with everything you have, Shine I breathe in the strength of everything divine You glow the softest rays, you know you glow Oh I soak it in, and I don't feel alone There is magic in the stars, oh there is magic And in their blinking, all is lost that's tragic When the moon makes her appearance for the Earth I seem to forget all that I have learned Illuminate me Luna Bathe me in your light, in your light Illuminate me Luna It's by you I feel that everything is right Well I throw my head back and I take it in Stardust and fairy tales, my head starts to spin Take me from this hell that you call land I wanna fly among the clouds I wanna feel Your hand Illuminate me Luna Bathe me in your light, in your light Illuminate me Luna It's by you I feel that everything is right

Green Eyes 04:23
There was a time in my life When being right, it was important to me But as I age I can see I don't really know a damn thing So darling, open up your mind Keep your mouth closed for a moment Hear the words behind the noise See your world in a new light Cause who are we to dare say what is true? And I know now that your truth is in you. It's not your job to save the world as a whole. But Green Eyes, you gotta realize, it all lies in your soul In your soul, in your soul. In your soul, in your soul. There are those who go before us They knew their truth all along It's almost they sung chorus To life's unwritten song And who are we to dare say what is true? And I know now that your truth is in you. It's not your job to save the world as a whole. Green Eyes, you gotta realize It all lies in your soul! In your soul, in your soul In your soul, in your soul Love you Amy

She can sense your fear She can see your insides She can recognize those looks She's the one who brought them here I am giving in I've done all I can do She needs a friend to help her along Can that friend be you? Can you save the girl? Can you save the girl? She needs a friend to help her along Can that friend be you? Tell her that she's lovely Tell her that she's bold Tell her that she'll make it Won't you tell her that you'll hold her? Can you save the girl? Can you save the girl? Tell her that you'll hold her Can you save this girl? Now she's grown her own wings Yes she's on her way But it's now that you love her Don't you let her slip away Way to save the girl Yes you saved the girl But in the end the girl saved you yes you Saved this girl

Divine 03:31
I like to think that I'm a nice girl...most of the time I like to give, what's mine is yours, as long as what's yours is mine But there is one thing that I'd have to ask a person not to touch And I don't really think it's asking all that much, so Call me silly, call me selfish Call me a petty, petty girl But I can't help you make my heart skip a beat You're changing my whole world So I'ma keep you to myself Yes I'ma make you mine all mine Cause darling I know what we have It's just divine, just divine I believe you would have found me no matter when or where And I believe in love profoundly now that you're here I like to think about tomorrow, the things we've yet to do You like to think about the now, keep me grounded thru and thru Darling you let me dream, that means so much to me Darling you let me dream, that means so much to me Call me silly, call me selfish Call me a petty, petty girl But I can't help you make my heart skip a beat You're changing my whole world Call me whimsy, call me dreamy Go ahead I'm tough But I can't help, you put the two in my step You'll always be enough So I'ma keep you to myself Yes I'ma make you mine all mine Cause darling I know what we have It's just divine, just divine

about

This album is dedicated to the beautiful Amy Luxenburger, who is Green Eyes. Amy was a dear friend of mine ever since we bonded in the 6th grade. I considered her my sister. We had the kind of relationship where entire paragraphs could be exchanged in a single glance and we would laugh so hard that our faces hurt when no one else got the joke. She had numerous bands, played numerous instruments, and had a beautiful singing voice. Her original songs were catchy but deep in their meaning. I could call her on the phone after not seeing her for months and it was like no time had passed. She cared so deeply for others, even complete strangers, to the point of tears if she felt a person was being wronged in some way.

In her late twenties, Amy was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder after many years of being misdiagnosed as depression, and she soon after took her own life. I know in my soul this is the only way I could do her real honor and she would truly approve. Music. It was her language.

I've done my best to make the album spiritual but not religion specific, although there are 2 traditional Christian hymns I've covered, I believe their words can be applied to all spirituality.

My hope is that you find strength, peace, and courage in my words and healing in the melodies. You are not alone, you are loved and taken care of.

Thank you so much and many blessings!
