As I move through space and time
As I figure out this life
In all its glory
I still want to hit rewind
I still long to have you here
Is it ok if I just sit here
In my vision for a minute
Looking back on your life
When you went through,
What you had to,
Wasn’t easy but you did it
You gave me this life
Everything I am,
Everything I have
Is cuz you’re in it
Your love flow like water,
The sweet smell of roses
La da da da da da
Roses
You stay blooming in my mind
All I have are these fond memories
They grow sweeter with the time
And although it’s not easy
To say goodbye (say goodbye, say goodbye)
I still love you and thank you
For being in my life
Is it ok if I just sit here
In my vision for a minute
Looking back on your life
When you went through,
What you had to,
Wasn’t easy but you did it
You gave me this life
Everything I am,
Everything I have
Is cuz you’re in it
Your love flow like water,
The sweet smell of roses
La da da da da da
Roses
Your love is true
I found a home in you
You gave me faith and hope
For a brighter day
I found it all in you
Is it ok if I just sit here
In my vision for a minute
(I found it all in you)
When you went through,
What you had to,
Wasn’t easy but you did it
(I found it all in you)
Everything I am,
Everything I have
Is cuz you’re in it
Your love flow like water,
The sweet smell of roses
La da da da da da
Roses
La da da da da da

Travelling to where you are
Where I can let go and be free, babe
Meet me underneath the stars
Never need to worry ‘bout a thing, babe
There’s a sparkle in your eye
Cosmic, uniquely your own, babe
Gravity has been defied
Ain’t a thing holding us down, babe
Ain’t a thing, ain’t a thing
Ain’t a thing holding us down, babe
(Make me come alive)
Can’t mistake the glimmer in your eye
Where the moon and stars come to unite
Make me throw my hands up, testify
Cuz you really make me come alive
You give a love that’s so sweet
It’s straight up fire, otherworldly
And with you here next to me
I don’t need to worry ‘bout a thing, babe
So meet me in up in the sky
Where I can let go and be free, babe
Gravity has been defied
Ain’t a thing holding us down, babe
Ain’t a thing, ain’t a thing
Ain’t a thing holding us down, babe
(Make me come alive)
Can’t mistake the glimmer in your eye
Where the moon and stars come to unite
Make me throw my hands up, testify
Cuz you really make me come alive
Can’t mistake the glimmer in your eye
Where the moon and stars come to unite
Make me throw my hands up, testify
Cuz you really make me come alive
Ain’t a thing, ain’t a thing
Ain’t a thing holding us down, babe
(Make me come alive)
Can’t mistake the glimmer in your eye
Where the moon and stars come to unite
Make me throw my hands up, testify
Cuz you really make me come alive

In The Time of Sorrow

Spoken: “In the time of sorrow… you is our peace, Lord….you is our peace, Lord.
In the time of sorrow….you is our peace, Lord”
Don’t know why but it just keeps getting harder
Trying to keep my head above the water
Lord knows I thought that I was stronger
But it’s hard to..
Keep the faith and watch a world on fire
Feel the lows when I wanna go higher
Feeling this way is so damn tired…hey
Tell me what am I gonna do
It all begins and ends with you
Tell me what am I gonna do
What is bullshit and what’s the truth?
Spoken: “We all are sinful people, Lord. Lost and undone without you and your Son,
but you reach down your hand for us..”
They keep saying that it’s gon’ get better
Keep it goin girl, you are a fighter
But some days I don’t have the desire
To keep faking..
Toxic positivity gon’ kill us
There’s so much that’s going on I can’t trust
And in my heart of heart’s I’ve had enough
Tell me what am I gonna do
It all begins and ends with you
Tell me what am I gonna do
What is bullshit and what’s the truth?
Tell me something new, tell me something true
Tell me something new, tell me something true
Tell me something new, tell me something true
Tell me something new, tell me something true

Honey (Don't) Come Back

I admit I added to the drama
But when you left it’s like
You didn’t wanna
Even try to help me fix it all up
Honey come back to me
Honey come back
Where did we go wrong
I’m tired of guessing
Do we have to fall to
See our blessings
Are you really happy with this ending
Honey come back to me
Honey come back
I’ll let go if that is what you
Want from me
Is that what you want, baby
But I get the feeling that you
Want to stay
So stop playing these games
You told me that this thing was forever
I put my trust in you because I never
Thought you’d be the one to throw it
All away
Honey come back to me
Honey come back, come back
Spoken: you know what? Forget you. You wanna be free? Go on, boo
I’m not gonna beg you to love me
Tell me what good does it do
If you can’t see
All that I’m going through for you lately
See I’m not gonna beg you to love me
I’ll let go if that is what you
Want from me
Is that what you want, baby
Yeah, the love is gone
And here you are again
You can’t stop playing
Stop playing
Playing your game
You keep playing your game
You keep playing your game
Keep playing your, playing your
Playing yourself baby
Cuz I’m walking out the door and I’m not
Gonna turn back no more
Oh keep playing yourself baby boy
Oh you’re playing, your playing yourself, babe
Never gonna change,
So I’m walking away
Never gonna change

It’s always in the night
It’s always when I’m trying
I’m trying
It’s never what’s wrong with you
Only what’s wrong with me
I’m tired of fighting
Put down your weapons
How can I ever make you see
Put down your weapons
I am not your enemy
I am not your
Ohhhh
Your enemy
It’s always hard to shake
The thoughts that keep me awake
They terrify me
But if you care to love me
Why can’t you say you’re sorry
I’m tired of hurting, yeah
Put down your weapons
How can I ever make you see
Put down your weapons
I am not your enemy
I am not your
(Put down put down)
(Your weapons, put down)
(Put your weapons down)
I’m not your….
I’m not your…
I’m not your…
I’m not your…

Stunning soulful debut. Velvet vocals (like Nick Drake meets Al Jarreau) backed with crisp strings. So fresh.
