1.	Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell 02:21	lyrics	buy track
What he felt was quite real And he didn’t know if he would see Himself through the pain Long enough to reengage In all the things He thought were appealing The belief, the tradition The fact that he was a truth seeker Might have meant he was all-in But, he couldn’t be For fear it would come back To hurt him, like it did so many times before Yes, he tried and tried And he’s still trying Caught somewhere between Heaven and hell BREAK Caught somewhere between heaven and hell Means he would often be Trying to make sense of his life Of the madness But, he knew deep down That it was all but impossible He knew that his life was Anything but similar To the people who also tried Who were on the same path Of justice, of peace, of everything Including righteousness There were no answers He hadn’t considered There were so many questions And he hadn’t delivered He was on his way To a long and drawn out death He was on his way To a long and drawn out death
2.	Opening One's Eyes 02:07	lyrics	buy track
Making his way Through a life full of pain What others thought Was immaterial He was going to digress Things were extremely tough But, he was on his way He was doing what Needed to be done for him There was an inclining A thought That he might one day be all-in And that’s exactly what he was aiming for Everything he did Was done with the notion of healing For either or both himself And his love A love that would last for all-time A life that would just get by There is nothing more painful Than opening one’s eyes BREAK A love that would last for all-time A life that would just get by There is nothing more painful Than opening one’s eyes
3.	By Way Of Light 01:27	lyrics	buy track
He never knew it would take so long To learn the truth About where he belonged There would always be People that didn’t like him And things would often go awry But, he found his group alas This time was a special time As he had built up so much momentum In the dark and in the light He would provide others a torch There wouldn’t be any disapproval as he shined his light He was on the path As he understood his fate BREAK While on this path, which was open-ended He would meet the people by way of light And everyone would live happily ever after
4.	Some People Plain Hurt 02:13	lyrics	buy track
There was something in this pain That had to do with having everything A person could ever want or need Is there pleasure in your pain? Do you ever watch it rain? Do you understand the difference between life and love? Is there sickness in your worth? Are you able to prefer All the things you thought you needed for all time? I guess I’m just lucky in a way That makes such little sense In the scheme of things And even though I feel like hell BREAK Is there pleasure in your pain? Do you ever watch it rain? Do you understand the difference between life and love? Is there sickness in your worth? Are you able to prefer All the things you thought you needed for all time? One more reason to be kind Is that you just do not know the rhyme Or reason for why some people Plain hurt One more reason to be kind Is that you just do not know the rhyme Or reason for why some people Plain hurt
5.	She 01:51	lyrics	buy track
There is so much feeling Behind the words she uses That I cannot help but believe She is all but ruthless I do not know her Like the people she works with Though some may dislike her No matter how clueless She is the light to my candle The spark to my fire Awed by her accomplishments She is the subject of my desire BREAK She doesn’t know that I exist She lives and breathes “him” Whoever he is, he is lucky Fortunate to be around such beauty No matter what she may say About the object of her affections He will probably treat her poorly And then it’s my chance For love She is the light to my candle The spark to my fire Awed by her accomplishments She is the subject of my desire She is the light to my candle The spark to my fire Awed by her accomplishments She is the subject of my desire
6.	No Other Way 02:40	lyrics	buy track
Nothing was as dark and twisted As the sun and the moon In his world, there could only be Love that was made to consume His entire being was flooded With ways that were part aloof And part hermit So much so that he thought he would lose The thing though was that he was built to try While others would mock him and scoff at him He would just rely On the power and precision Of a love that was deep and true He couldn’t name it For he was so confused How could some people Get away with living their lives The very way they wanted to? He often analyzed BREAK There was no truth that He wouldn’t one day begin to see Standing on his own two Beaten and withered feet In sum, he was a slave To medication that he would need To combat his ails in life There would be no other way There would be no other way No matter what the day He wasn’t tied to his feelings But, he needed love to relate
7.	Defining Moments 01:43	lyrics	buy track
There was something that took her To a place of discontent To a location that spoke volumes Of what she couldn’t mend There was the heartache Of having lost her one and only friend The destruction of herself That would always begin With defining moments And she couldn’t shake or reinstate Many of the good things For they were not easily accessible BREAK All in all She never knew The course of a happier version Of herself that was true Her loved ones would hope though For a change inside And her difficulties and pessimism Would all but subside With defining moments And she couldn’t shake or reinstate Many of the good things For they were not easily accessible
8.	As They Both Fall In Love 01:46	lyrics	buy track
In the middle of the ocean Journeyed a man who had the notion That he would one day spend his life With a beautiful woman It didn’t matter where she come from As long as she was pretty It didn’t matter as long as she was single And she had herself a heartbeat There were problems with this plan though The man wasn’t often on land to Meet this wonder of a woman To make his dreams come true So, he went back to the drawing board Living his life vastly different would Possibly afford him a chance at A fairytale love And he realized there should be Common ground For a union that would last For many years To come - As they both fall in love BREAK And he realized there should be Common ground For a union that would last For many years To come - As they both fall in love
9.	A Pinch Of Resilience 01:20	lyrics	buy track
There was a reason he didn’t much Feel alive Although he was tough as nails And didn’t cry He one day hoped to Say goodbye He felt the purpose of life was To do it right It was a daily struggle and he would Make life easier He was working hard But was a little shy He would get there though At least that was the hope He fell down 7 times And got up 8 BREAK He would get there though At least that was the hope He fell down 7 times And got up 8

about

“Most of your previous songs have served to define yourself and your mission. Now, this new album is the beginning of the first work of art created by this individual we met and got to know through his first several albums. The production is consistently excellent through these songs and the lyrics are powerful.” — Bill White
