Another Day In The World 03:11
lyrics
Incase you might me the one Incase you might not have heard Another day has begun Another day in the world Oh, if you had taken the time I can promise you this If you would only look up It's something that you couldn't miss Incase you still do not know Incase you will not see Wasting another day It's not okay with me If you had taken the time I can promise you this If you would only look up It's something that you couldn't miss If you had taken the time I can promise you this If you would only look up It's something that you couldn't miss Another day in the world Another day in the world

Every Single Day 03:02
lyrics
I thought I knew the answer I thought I knew it all I thought that I was riding high Headed for a fall To think that you know everything You think that you're secure Then one day it goes away And you're no longer sure Please can you excuse me Cuz I don't like to complain I know you've heard it all before But I still can feel the pain If you can forgive me You will hear me say Just how much you mean to me Every single day Now I understand it The reason that you're gone I guess I learned the hard way That I had done you wrong Now I'm realizing That broken hearts don't mend The sun will not be rising And I finally reached the end Please can you excuse me Cuz I don't like to complain I know you've heard it all before But I still can feel the pain If you can forgive me You will hear me say Just how much you mean to me Every single day

Woman 04:08
lyrics
From the other half of the sky Woman I can hardly express My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness After all, I'm forever in your debt And woman I will try to express My inner feelings and my thankfulness For showing me the meaning of success Ooh-ooh, well-well Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Ooh-ooh, well-well Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Woman I know you understand The little child inside the man Please remember, my life is in your hands And woman Hold me close to your heart However distant, don't keep us apart After all, it is written in the stars Ooh-ooh, well-well Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Ooh-ooh, well-well Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Woman Please let me explain I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain So let me tell you again and again and again I love you, yeah-yeah Now and forever I love you, yeah-yeah Now and forever I love you, yeah-yeah Now and forever I love you, yeah-yeah Now and forever

Overkill 03:45
lyrics
I can't get to sleep I think about the implication Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications Especially at night I worry over situations I know will be alright Perhaps it's just imagination Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away Alone between the sheets Only brings exasperation It's time to walk the streets Smell the desperation At least there's pretty lights And though there's little variatios It nullifies the night From overkill Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away Come back another day I can't get to sleep I think about the implications Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications Especially at night I worry over situations that I know will be alright It's just overkill Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away Ghosts appear and fade away Ghosts appear and fade away

Wasted Years 03:59
lyrics
From the coast of gold Across the seven seas I'm Travelin' on far and wide But now it seems I'm just a stranger to myself And all the things I sometimes do It isn't me but someone else I close my eyes And think of home Another city goes by in the night Ain't it funny how it is? You never miss it til' it's gone away And my heart is lying there And will be 'til my dying day So understand Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years Face up, make your stand Realize you're living in the golden years Too much time on my hands I got you on my mind Can't ease this pain so easily When you can't find the words to say It's hard to make it through another day And it makes me wanna cry I throw my hands up to the sky So understand Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years Face up, make your stand Realize you're living in the golden years So understand Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years Face up, make your stand Realize you're living in the golden years

Now 02:51
lyrics
I was kinda lost for a time I had kinda lost my mind I really did not know What I should be doing Where I was supposed to go You oughta take a bow It was you who showed me how But that was then How you like me now? So much for yesterday There's not much left to say I guess that you can tell I've got the look of Someone that has been through hell You oughta take a bow It was you who showed me how But that was then How you like me now? Everything looks up when you are down I hope that it was worth sticking around How you like me now?

Muse 02:11
lyrics
Clever or not Whether or not you choose Call it a hunch You look worried for everything you could lose You gotta pay your dues You had to know That is the time you embrace your muse Didn't you know Haden't you heard the news The look on your face I got a glimpse that you're a bit confused You gotta pay your dues You had to know That is the time you embrace your muse You gotta pay your dues You had to know That is the time you embrace your muse

Ink 03:09
lyrics
Ink on a page is coming alive The more that I say the more it's a lie Its soaking in to dream I use to touch the sky How could i be free Without setting the pages on fire? Maybe a Hemingway Maybe a Frost Maybe a happy ending To the words that I have lost Ink on a page is starting to dry What will they say? What if they're right? But if falling to my knee Is learning how to fly I'm the only me And I wont fear what I desire Maybe a Hemingway Maybe a Frost Maybe a happy ending To the words that I have lost No pen, no page No ink in the well Has power to change the story I tell No man, no age No agent of hell Can ever erase what i'm writing for myself Make me a Hemingway Make me a Frost Make me a happy ending To the words that I have lost
9.
Faith 03:45
lyrics
I figured I couldn't lose I guess you all saw the news The world came crashing down all around us A crisis of conscience brews Was all of my faith in vein? I must have been insane In a world so filled with sorrow Faith can not quite explain Never really thought about it All the choices I have made I relied exclusively on faith I never questioned why Why would I even try? Too many questions, just one answer Faith did not get me by All of my bridges burned And in the end did I learn? Willingly fled the promised land Never to be returned Never really thought about it All the choices I had made I relied exclusively on faith

The Rain Song 05:57
lyrics
It is the springtime of my loving The second season I am to know You are the sunlight in my growing So little warmth I've felt before It isn't hard to feel me glowing I watched the fire that grew so low, oh It is the summer of my smiles Flee from me, keepers of the gloom Speak to me only with your eyes It is to you, I give this tune Ain't so hard to recognize, oh These things are clear to all from time to time Talk, talk, talk, talk I felt the coldness of my winter I never thought it would ever go I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us But I know that I love you so Oh, but I know That I love you so These are the seasons of emotion And like the wind, they rise and fall This is the wonder of devotion I see the torch We all must hold This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient Upon us all, upon us all, a little rain must fall Just a little rain, oh, yeah Oh, ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah
11.
One Cell 03:41
lyrics
You overreact to faces I overreact to phones I can never fill those spaces I feel the echo in my bones One cell then another Ends up petrified Don't start with your questions You're never satisfied I've given up pretending I'm always at a loss You're better off without it It only makes you cross One cell then another Ends up petrified Don't start with your questions You're never satisfied One cell then another Ends up petrified Don't start with your questions You're never satisfied

Here To There 04:18
lyrics
When I was just a young boy Looking out the window Teacher scolded "eyes up front" With tightness in my chest I wanted more than recess Wanted freedom more than fun But distance has a way Of being more than steps you take from here to there From here to there Is a step that I don't dare Or I'll regret I'm scared That I will never get from here to there Stacks of papers lit By something through the window Seems my work is never done But tightness in my chest Keeps me from confessing Sometimes I just wanna run But distance has a way Of being more than steps you take from here to there From here to there Is a step that I don't dare Or I'll regret I'm scared That I will never get From here to there Sometimes I stop and stare As the years forget I cared How I would ever get from here to there Another day of seeing Light out some old window I'm so glad that you have come If a sigh of my last breath Can give you back the best of life You ain't out of reach, my son And distance, I can say Is more than steps you take from here From here to there Is a step I never dared And I regret I was scared That I would never get From here to there And now I know to cherish every breath I swear heaven's just a step from here to there

Don't Come To My Funeral 04:50
lyrics
The greatest irony in life It’s sad but it’s true We end up burying everyone we ever loved Or else they’ll bury you When my time comes, If I go before you Remember all the good time we had Don’t say goodbye, Just say so-long Until we meet again And put your black suit on The one that you like to wear Don’t come to my funeral I won’t be there I won’t be there Tell the angels when they come for me I’ll be in my dressing room Puttin' on all my best clothes Rehearsing my favorite tunes I’ll be playing up in Paradise Headlining a sold out show I’ll see you as soon as you get there Looking up from the front row Til then have the drink I never had Raise your glass up in the air Don’t come to my funeral I won’t be there I won’t be there Don’t come to my funeral I don’t want to see you cry I’ll be in a better place On a mountain high Just carry on Sing one of my songs If you want to show you care Don’t come to my funeral I won’t be there I won’t be there I’ll be workin the stage with Jimi all night Won’t we make quite a pair Don’t come to my funeral I won’t be there I won’t be there

Dream On 04:39
lyrics
Every time when I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer The past is gone It went by, like dusk to dawn Isn't that the way? Everybody's got their dues in life to pay I know nobody knows When it comes and when it goes I know everybody sins You got to lose to know how to win Half my life's in books, written pages Live and learn from fools and from sages You know it's true, oh All the things come back to you Sing with me, sing for a year Sing for the laughter, and sing the tear Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away Sing with me, sing for a year Sing for the laughter, and sing the tear Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away Dream on Dream on Dream on Dream until your dream comes true Dream on Dream on Dream on Dream until your dream comes true Dream on Dream on Dream on Dream on Dream on Dream on Dream on, ah Sing with me, sing for a year Sing for the laughter, and sing the tear Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away Sing with me, sing for a year Sing for the laughter, and sing the tear Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

about

This album is my final solo album. It is only fitting that the title is "Finale". This album contains brand new original songs (written for me by some incredible songwriting friends) as well as some covers of songs that are HUGE pieces of my life (and the DNA of me as a musician).

To all who have supported me through my solo recording career ... you mean the absolute world to me. It was a hell of a ride and I wouldn't have traded a second of it for anything. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
