About this listen

I've been writing songs since I was around 15 years old, well over half my lifetime ago. Figured it was time to be brave and share them somehow. Music has always been a saving grace in my life and my hope is that listening helps you in some small way, just as composing has helped me.© 2025 Songwriter Diaries Christianity Music Spirituality

  • Just A Dreamer
    May 14 2025

    Sometimes the dreaming’s all I ever do

    Sometimes I fall asleep and dream of dreaming too

    My heart is open and my spirit free

    Still I’m not where I want to be


    I’m spending days with my head in the clouds

    I’m walking circles and I get lost in the crowd

    I can’t believe all of the time that’s gone

    Still I’m not where I belong

    Once I gave it all to have it all

    I used to be more than just a dreamer

    More than just a dreamer
    It’s time to pick myself up from the fall

    I want to be more than just a dreamer

    More than just a dreamer

    Head in the clouds

    Help me find a way out

    Sometimes I cry for all the things I’ve missed

    Sometimes I wonder why it all has come to this

    But I know there’s a reason for these tears

    A reason why I’m still here


    I’ve lived in shadows for the past few years

    Dreaming in secret in the company of fears (though accompanied by fear)

    But something’s calling that I can’t ignore

    Something good my life is for

    Once I gave it all to have it all

    I used to be more than just a dreamer

    More than just a dreamer

    It’s time to pick myself up from the fall

    I want to be more than just a dreamer

    More than just a dreamer

    Head in the clouds

    Help me find a way out

    Help me find a way out

    Once I gave it all to have it all

    I used to be more than just a dreamer

    More than just a dreamer

    It’s time to pick myself up from the fall

    I want to be more than just a dreamer

  • Overcome
    May 6 2025

    There are some days I can’t wake

    Problems that I can’t face

    Shame about the mistakes, that I’ve made

    There are some nights I can’t sleep

    Worries keeping me weak

    And I find it hard to believe in me

    But it can take just one blessed minute

    To suddenly be overcome

    I can’t put into words the way that it feels,

    To discover your love


    Every time I am alone

    I think about life on my own

    Troubled by everything I still don’t know

    Every time I am afraid

    Worried ‘bout things I can’t change

    I pray that I will be okay, someday

    And it can take just one blessed minute

    To suddenly be overcome

    I can’t put into words the way that it feels,

    To discover your love

    You say all things in life have beauty in their own time

    You say you’re here with me in darkness and in the light

    And if I only set my sights above


    It can take just one blessed minute

    To suddenly be overcome

    Nothing can replace this feeling

    Knowing that you are the one

    You’ve given me a heart worth beating

    So into your arms I will run

    I can’t put into words the way that it feels,

    To discover your love

  • So I Will Dance
    Apr 29 2025

    I’m still underneath the covers

    Putting out the flames that

    Sting and burn my skin

    I’m still hiding in the shadows

    Fighting off the ghosts who’ve

    Haunted their way in


    But somehow in these trials

    and despite these tear-stained cheeks,

    I feel like dancing now I feel you here with me

    So I will dance, I will sing

    And I will find a way through everything

    I won’t give in, I won’t give up

    I’ll still believe in all I’m dreaming of

    With you somehow I can, so I will dance


    I still worry for tomorrow

    All the things I don’t know

    What the future brings

    I still overthink the details

    Trying hard to escape

    All the fear within

    But somehow in these moments

    and despite what leaves me weak,

    I feel like dancing when you’re dancing next to me

    So I will dance, I will sing

    And I will find a way through everything

    I won’t give in, I won’t give up

    I’ll still believe in all I’m dreaming of

    With you somehow I can, so I will dance

    With you somehow I can, so I will dance
