Disney’s Downtown

Year: 2007

Category: Rock

Behind the Music: A tribute to our Disney Vacations and to our evil pair!

Just the other day I was told

Going back to Disney again, oh no

I said after 3 trips, I drew the line

But it looks like we're going another time

In Disney’s downtown, Oh No, In Disney’s downtown

Now this is a big family affair

Schemed by the sister and wife, the evil pair

4 adults, 5 kids, and mom-moms too

Gonna go to Disney and pay our dues

In Disney’s downtown. Oh No, In Disney’s downtown

Cars, trains, and planes, we done them all

Just to walk 15 hours... what a ball

Snack plan, meal plan, it doesn't matter

We’re on a mission to spend our Disney dollars!!

In Disney’s downtown, Oh No, In Disney’s downtown

In Disney’s downtown

Oh No, In Disney’s downtown

In Disney’s downtown

I hope you can pay for this

My feet are tired

I'm hungry

Be quiet back there

Not again

Mickey!!

What’s the Story

Year: 2008

Category: Rock

Behind the Music: A Tribute to the King. Elvis was the inspiration

Of this one. Nice dancing drum beat. Nice guitar rift. One of my

Favorites. The video features some nice animated pictures of

Elvis himself.

Title: What's the Story?

Intro

Hey, what’s the story?

I don’t know, you never even told me

And now, you left me, so lonely

And now you got me wondering why.

You said, our love would fly

Right up to the sky

I guess it’s just another lie.

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ downtown

You got me feeling frustrated baby

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ uptown

You got to be overrated, oh yeah.

Hey, what’s the reason?

I don’t know, you left without a warning.

And now, my heart is stuck, in mourning,

And now you got me wondering why.

You said, our love would fly

Right up to the sky

I guess it’s just another lie.

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ downtown

You got me feeling frustrated baby

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ uptown

You got to be overrated, oh yeah.

I’m left with nothing but questions and doubt

You turned me inside out

But now I see through it all, somehow.

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ downtown

You got me feeling frustrated baby

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ uptown

You got to be overrated, oh yeah.

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ downtown

You got me feeling frustrated baby

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ uptown

You got to be overrated, oh yeah.

Hey, what’s the story?

I don’t know, you never even told me

And now, you left me, so lonely

And now you got me wondering why.

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ downtown

You got me feeling frustrated baby

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ uptown

You got to be overrated, oh yeah.

Hey, what’s the reason?

I don’t know, you left without a warning.

And now, my heart is stuck, in mourning,

And now you got me wondering why.

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ downtown

You got me feeling frustrated baby

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ uptown

You got to be overrated, oh yeah.

Hey, what’s the story?

I don’t know, you never even told me

And now, you left me, so lonely

And now you got me wondering why.

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ downtown

You got me feeling frustrated baby

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ uptown

You got to be overrated, oh yeah.

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ downtown

You got me feeling frustrated baby

I'm goin’ around, lookin’ uptown

You got to be overrated, oh yeah.

3) I Have Seen The Light

Year: 2009 and 2017

Category: Rock

Behind the Music: Tribute to the Beatles. As you see the lyrics references ‘All you need is love’. This was my hats off nod. One of my favorites. Also the video features Beatles pictures.

Never knew my life could be bright and sunny,

Now I see the light, and it shines on me everywhere.

You're all I ever wanted, you're all I ever needed,

All we need is love, and we have planted the seed.

Hey baby, I have seen the light,

I have seen the light,

And it was good, so good, so good,

Hey baby, I have seen the light.

All I ever known is that you'd be the one and only,

All I ever known is I'd follow you anywhere.

You're all I ever wanted, you're all I ever needed,

All we need is love, and we have planted the seed.

Hey baby, I have seen the light (the light),

I have seen the light (the light),

And it was good, so good, so good,

Hey baby, I have seen the light.

Now I see it all, and I know it’s real,

This love is something I can feel,

We’ve found the light, together, we’re free,

Our hearts are one, eternally.

Hey baby, I have seen the light (the light),

I have seen the light (the light),

And it was good, so good, so good,

Hey baby, I have seen the light.

Hey baby, I have seen the light,

I have seen the light...

4) Girl Gone Wild

Year: 2009

Category: Rock/Country Rock

Behind the Music: This song started out with a nice guitar base

Blues rift. Just kept repeating the melody and jammed.

This was also one of my first videos featuring my Wife,

Sister, and Brother-n-law.

Title: Girl Gone Wild

Intro (Electric guitar riff builds into a driving rhythm.)

Verse 1

Please Mr. Doctor, I’m on end on knee

My baby is dancing like a jamboree

Ya gotta let me know, ya gotta let me know, tonight...

She’s now dancing on the bar, like a movie star

Please help my baby, cause my baby’s gone wild

Chorus

What do I do .......girl gone wild

Instrumental Break

Verse 2

Lights are flashing, crowd is roaring loud

She’s the center stage in this crazy crowd

Ya gotta let me know, ya gotta let me know, tonight...

Pre-Chorus

She’s now dancing on the bar, like a movie star

Please help my baby, cause my baby’s gone wild

Chorus

What do I do .......girl gone wild

Right from the start...she took my heart

Bridge (Spoken or sung with a different rhythm)

“She’s out of control, I don’t know what to do

This girl’s got the fire, she’s burning up the room”

Chorus (x2)

Repeated for emphasis, with escalating energy in the second round.

(Add backing vocals or harmonies for extra punch.)

You Told Me

Year: 2009

Category: Rock

Behind the Music: I really like the lead guitar in this one.

I would like to hear this one done from a girl’s voice.

Title: You Told Me!

Intro (Electric guitar strums or piano chords set a somber, reflective tone before picking up.)

Verse 1

You told me that we would be together

You told me that we would last forever

I should have seen

There was another

I guess that means… that you’re a LIAR!!

Chorus

You Told Me! … We’d be together

You Told Me! … There is no other

You Told Me!

You Told Me! … That I’d be the only one.

Instrumental Break

Verse 2

I thought our love was a match in heaven

Now I realize why you left at seven

I should have seen

There was another

I guess that means… that you’re a LIAR!!

Chorus (repeat with more intensity)

You Told Me! … We’d be together

You Told Me! … There is no other

You Told Me!

You Told Me! … That I’d be the only one.

Bridge (Change the tone—perhaps quieter or stripped-down instrumentation.)

“All your words were empty lies

Now I see through your disguise

You fooled me once, but not again

This is where our story ends!”

Chorus (powerful reprise)

You Told Me! … We’d be together

You Told Me! … There is no other

You Told Me!

You Told Me! … That I’d be the only one.

Outro (Chanting with rising energy, then fade out)

You Told Me! … (TOLD ME!!)

You Told Me! … That I’d be the only one.

Alright Tonight

Year: 2014

Category: Rock/Country

Behind the Music: I really enjoy playing this catchy guitar rift

And it is fun to sing as well as for the audience. It’s a favorite.

Who's to blame, for this game? A woman on my mind,

What can I say, I’m in harm’s way,

But I’m gonna be all right tonight.

I said HEY, (HO), HEY, (HAA)

I said I’m gonna be all right tonight.

What a wonderful world, with my girl,

Troubles far behind.

I got clear skies, oh my my,

And I’m gonna be all right tonight.

I said HEY, (HO), HEY, (HAA)

I said I’m gonna be all right tonight.

All the troubles fade away when you’re near,

The world is spinning and I don’t have fear.

With you by my side, it’s a beautiful sight,

I know we’re gonna be all right tonight.

I said HEY, (HO), HEY, (HAA)

I said I’m gonna be all right tonight.

I said HEY, (HO), HEY, (HAA)

I said I’m gonna be all right tonight.

7) Man Doggie

Year: 2014

Category: Acoustic Blues

Behind the Music: Tribute to the Blues. All I had to do was

Make some lyrics. So here you have it, a man dog that does what he

Wants, goes where he wants and well, I think you get it.

I’m a ManDoggie, where I roam, nobody knows

When the wind hits my nose, watch me swag as I go

With a howl in the night, feelin' wild and bold.

Well I’m headin with the pack on down to the watering grounds

Yeah me and the boys gonna back some ice cold rounds

When the flies come on out, watch me jump and howl

I’m a ManDoggie, where I roam, nobody knows

When the wind hits my nose, Where I Go you like to know

With a howl in the night, feelin' wild and bold.

Dancing in the moonlight, we’re alive and running free

The night is ours, we’re wild as the roaring sea

With every step we take, we're chasing destiny

I’m a ManDoggie, where I roam, nobody knows

When the wind hits my nose, Where I Go you like to know

With a howl in the night, feelin' wild and bold.

I’m a ManDoggie, where I roam, nobody knows

When the wind hits my nose, Where I Go you like to know

With a howl in the night, feelin' wild and bold.

8) 1 Good Reason

Year: 2009/2014

Category: Rock / Country / Live

Behind the Music: This came from Fats Domino Inspiration.

Has a nice chorus hook. Another rockin blues tune.

Intro (Upbeat rhythm, groovy bassline, and playful guitar riff to set the tone.)

What about you, what about me

I take my baby by the hand, and ooh ooh wee

I love the way you walk

I love the giggle in your talk

But you’re leaving 'cause you’re tired of chasing dreams

You gotta give me 1, 2, 3 good reasons, why you’re headin’ for the door

Give me 4, 5, 6 good reasons, don’t leave me beggin’ on the floor

Then 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Give me 1 good reason why you love me no more?

Now after a short time, you wanna leave

You gave me no good reason, ignoring my pleas

You walked away so cold

Leaving our story untold

And now I'm left here with memories that grieve

You gotta give me 1, 2, 3 good reasons, why you’re headin’ for the door

Give me 4, 5, 6 good reasons, don’t leave me beggin’ on the floor

Then 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Give me 1 good reason why you love me no more?

Why’d you go, leaving me all alone?

We had something real, now it’s just a stepping stone

All I wanted was to make it last

But you’re just a shadow from the past

You gotta give me 1, 2, 3 good reasons, why you’re headin’ for the door

Give me 4, 5, 6 good reasons, don’t leave me beggin’ on the floor

Then 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Give me 1 good reason why you love me no more?

You gotta give me 1, 2, 3 good reasons, why you’re headin’ for the door

Give me 4, 5, 6 good reasons, don’t leave me beggin’ on the floor

Then 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Give me 1 good reason why you love me no more?

“Ooh ooh wee… What about me?”

Don’t Do What I Do

Year: 2009

Category: Rock / Country / Soft / Gospel

Behind the Music: This song I have done many times. I cannot pick one so I will leave it up to you guys. This song can be sang in any category.

Don’t to what I do, just do what I say

Don’t put that car into drive and drive away

I was young too, did it my way

But there were dues to pay along the way, everyday

As long as you live in my house

You should follow my one rule

Don’t Do What I Do ! (do what I do)

Just Do What I Say!

Don’t give me no lip, life may not be fair

Just hear my words, although rare, it’s got a flair

Don’t to what I do, just do what I say

Don’t be a fool, take my rule and sing today

As long as you live in my house

You should follow my one rule

Don’t Do What I Do ! (do what I do)

Just Do What I Say! ( I say)

You should learn from my ways

For they'll be a reckon day

Don’t Do What I Do! Just Do What I Say!

Don’t to what I do, just do what I say

Don’t be a fool, take my rule and sing today

As long as you live in my house

You should follow my one rule

Don’t Do What I Do ! (do what I do)

Just Do What I Say! ( I say)

You should learn from my ways

For they'll be a reckon day

Don’t Do What I Do! Just Do What I Say!

Keep Your Voice Down

Year: 2008

Category: Classic Country

Behind the Music: A Classic Country tune. Something Dad would say.

So this one is for Mom and Dad.. ha-ha

Intro (Strum the guitar with a steady rhythm, add a light percussion beat)

Verse 1

It’s the hustle and bustle of life, I drove that truck all night,

Just tryin’ to get home, turn off the phone, crack open a cold light.

But that won’t happen tonight, bills got the wife uptight,

She said we need more cash, or your 6-pack's trash,

Now there’s a storm brewin’ here, and it ain’t feelin’ right.

Bridge

You don’t have to scream, you don’t have to shout,

If there’s one thing I need, it’s some peace, no doubt.

Just keep your voice down, let’s not fight,

I’m tryin’ to get some silence, to make it through the night.

Chorus

Keep your voice down, hold on to your hat,

Ain’t nothin’ ever came of that,

Except a headache and a dizzy spin around.

You don’t have to yell, I don’t mean to bother,

But I got one good ear, and I don't have another —

Keep your voice down.

Verse 2

Got one kid who won’t listen, two upstairs are fightin’,

I just want some peace, to watch John Wayne on the screen.

But before I can speak, the missus comes in quick,

Tells 'em “Lay down fast, or I’ll crack some ass,"

And I thought, guess I’m to blame for this scene.

Bridge

You don’t have to scream, you don’t have to shout,

If there’s one thing I need, it’s some peace, no doubt.

Just keep your voice down, let’s not fight,

I’m tryin’ to get some silence, to make it through the night.

Chorus

Keep your voice down, hold on to your hat,

Ain’t nothin’ ever came of that,

Except a headache and a dizzy spin around.

You don’t have to yell, I don’t mean to bother,

But I got one good ear, and I don't have another —

Keep your voice down.

Outro

Keep your voice down

11) PB and J

Year: 2014

Category: Country

Behind the Music: For those who are struggling, going through rough times. I recall growing up that as long as we had Peanut Butter in the closet then we will be ok.

Verse 1

Wishing for better times, no more life lines,

Now I’m stuck in borrowing, budgeting,

Peter’s mad but Paul’s feeling fine.

Don’t take my boots off, maybe,

Hope to find another job, maybe.

Don’t take my boots off, no, no, no.

Pre-Chorus

I’m just holdin' on, tryin' to find my way,

Life’s been heavy, but I’m livin’ day by day.

When the storm’s too strong, and I feel like I might fall,

I keep my boots on, standin’ tall.

Chorus

Here’s another day, what comes will may,

Praying for some change, amen, but tell me when.

Gotta, gotta hang on till then,

Don’t take my boots off, maybe,

Hope to find another job, maybe.

Don’t take my boots off, no, no, no.

But I must say, still in a good way,

‘Cause we’ve got PB & J.

Verse 2

On the road today, all work and no play,

Wishing I was home again, but something says,

Gotta keep on rollin’.

Don’t take my boots off, maybe,

Hope to find another job, maybe.

Don’t take my boots off, no, no, no.

Chorus

Here’s another day, what comes will may,

Praying for some change, amen, but tell me when.

Gotta, gotta hang on till then,

Don’t take my boots off, maybe,

Hope to find another job, maybe.

Don’t take my boots off, no, no, no.

But I must say, still in a good way,

‘Cause we’ve got PB & J.

Bridge

When the road gets tough and I feel low,

I’ll keep on walkin', steady and slow.

Through the mud and rain, I won’t let go,

I’ll keep my boots on, I won’t move too slow.

Chorus

Here’s another day, what comes will may,

Praying for some change, amen, but tell me when.

Gotta, gotta hang on till then,

Don’t take my boots off, maybe,

Hope to find another job, maybe.

Don’t take my boots off, no, no, no.

But I must say, still in a good way,

‘Cause we’ve got PB & J.

I Want No More

Year: 2008

Category: Rap / Hip-hop

Behind the Music: A poem made into my first rap song.

A man’s dream of a better world.

I would like a female to do just the chorus part.

Verse 1

I want no war in the name of peace, please,

I’d like love and harmony, needs,

A green home for all to see, that’s my dream (that’s my dream).

Wars are fought in the name of greed,

Killing each other for money and need,

It brings nothing but tragedy, don’t let it be (don’t let it be).

Pre-Chorus

Lookin' to the sky, what do I see?

Stars shining, but we're living in defeat.

I ask above, can we all be free?

What’s the answer, tell me, what’s the key?

Chorus

Well, I look to the sky,

I see the stars in the night,

I ask above, can't we all be free?

To all the people in the world,

Talking boys, talking girls,

All I know (all I know),

No I don't (no I don’t),

I want no more (4x).

Verse 2

We got people dying in the streets, streets,

Don’t know where they’re going to sleep, sleep,

Hungry kids in the night go weep, week by week (weep by week).

We only have one sun, one earth to live, live,

Must we take with none to give? give,

Not a time to be passive, but be active (be active).

Pre-Chorus

Lookin' to the sky, what do I see?

Stars shining, but we're living in defeat.

I ask above, can we all be free?

What’s the answer, tell me, what’s the key?

Chorus

Well, I look to the sky,

I see the stars in the night,

I ask above, can't we all be free?

To all the people in the world,

Talking boys, talking girls,

All I know (all I know),

No I don't (no I don’t),

I want no more (4x).

Bridge

Can’t take no more, it’s in my soul,

Fighting for the future, we gotta take control.

Stand up, stand tall, it's time to rise,

Together, we can make it, open your eyes.

Freedom Cry

Year: 2009

Category: Rock

Behind the Music: A poem made into a political song view of countries fighting for their freedom.

Title: "Freedom Cry"

Verse 1:

I am your brother, I am your sister,

We could be friends, but it doesn't seem to matter.

We want our peace, not to be deceived,

We want our chance, not to follow commands.

Look at me, look at you,

Can’t you see that we want to be free?

Chorus:

They want to own you, and control you,

They won’t listen to our conditions.

They don’t like change, can’t stop the rain.

Pre-Chorus:

Let us be, oh let us be,

Can’t you see that we want to be free?

Through the night, as you lie,

You can hear freedom cry, oh why?

Through the night, as you lie,

You can hear, freedom cry, oh why?

Verse 2:

Time is now, someway, somehow,

The power’s yours, it cannot fail.

They want to own you, and control you,

They won’t listen to our conditions.

They don’t like change, can’t stop the rain.

Chorus:

Let us be, oh let us be,

Can’t you see that we want to be free?

Through the night, as you lie,

You can hear freedom cry, oh why?

Through the night, as you lie,

You can hear, freedom cry, oh why?

Bridge:

Freedom cry, freedom cry,

Freedom cry, freedom cry.

(Repeat and build intensity as the song progresses.)

Outro:

Let us be, let us be,

Can’t you see that we want to be free?

Through the night, as you lie,

You can hear freedom cry, oh why?

Pray For You

Year: 2014

Category: Country / Soft

Behind the Music: I really like the guitar melody in this song. The words reflect someone’s prayer or good be talking about a significant other.

Verse 1:

I know there's gotta be a reason

A meaning that we can't deny

All I know is I have this feeling

A feeling that we cannot hide

Pre-Chorus:

So I run to you

Wish for you

Wait for you

And I pray for you... every day...

Chorus:

'Cause you're the one I need, the one I want

Through every storm, you're what I’ve sought

No matter the distance, no matter the time

You’re the reason that I keep on climbing

And I pray for you... every day...

Verse 2:

I see the signs, they're pointing my way

But sometimes it's hard to know what to say

The world keeps turning, but I'm still here

Waiting for the moment when you’ll appear

Pre-Chorus:

So I run to you

Wish for you

Wait for you

And I pray for you... every day...

Chorus:

'Cause you're the one I need, the one I want

Through every storm, you're what I’ve sought

No matter the distance, no matter the time

You’re the reason that I keep on climbing

And I pray for you... every day...

Bridge:

Through the darkness, through the rain

I know one day, we’ll break these chains

Every step, I'm walking toward you

'Cause I know in my heart, it’s what we’re meant to do

Chorus:

'Cause you're the one I need, the one I want

Through every storm, you're what I’ve sought

No matter the distance, no matter the time

You’re the reason that I keep on climbing

And I pray for you... every day...

Outro:

And I pray for you...

Every day...

This structure allows for a lot of emotional depth and builds toward the final chorus. Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!

Let Me Be

Year: 2009/2014

Category: Rock

Behind the Music: Hard Rock song that could even be made faster. Music started out as an 80’s hair band tribute. Words came from venting of what my son Ryan had to go through with all the doctors.

Intro (Driving guitar riff with pounding drums)

Better back up

Watch what you say

Gonna feel my wrath

Coming any day

I hear voices, but I don’t know who’s talking

Another pill to stop my mind from walking

All my life, I’ve been told

Never seen nothing like you before

All my life, I’ve been told

Never seen nothing like you before

So you think you really know me

And you think I know you too

But there’s a darkness deep inside me

That I’m hiding from your view

You play your games

Try to get in my head

But I’ve seen your kind

Left 'em all for dead

I hear voices, but I don’t know who’s talking

Another pill to stop my mind from walking

All my life, I’ve been told

Never seen nothing like you before

All my life, I’ve been told

Never seen nothing like you before

So you think you really know me

And you think I know you too

But there’s a darkness deep inside me

That I’m hiding from your view

You can’t break me, I’ve been down this road before

I’ve faced the dark, and I’m coming back for more

So take your aim, but you better shoot true

I’m standing tall, and I won’t bow to you

All my life, I’ve been told

A Long Time Ago

Year: 2014

Category: Country-Acoustic

Behind the Music: some country crooning. melody in my subconciuos mind from somwhere.

Intro (A slow, melancholic acoustic guitar or piano progression sets the mood.)

Well, you left me a long time ago

And you never said a reason why you'd go

And I was wrong for believing in you

Since you’ve been away for a long, long time.

You never ever wrote or called

And you never really cared at all

Now I, now I know, what I must do now

So you can go for a long, long time.

I spent my nights waiting for your return

But now I see, it was never my concern

I gave my love, but you left it behind

And I’ve been alone for a long, long time.

You never ever wrote or called

And you never really cared at all

Now I, now I know, what I must do now

So you can go for a long, long time.

Time has passed, and I’ve found my peace

But your memory still brings me to my knees

I’ll let you go, though it’s hard to do

‘Cause a long, long time has changed my view.

You never ever wrote or called

And you never really cared at all

Now I, now I know, what I must do now

So you can go for a long, long time.

“Since you’ve been away for a long, long time…”

Fire in the Hole

Year: 2015

Category: Rock / Blues

Behind the Music: A Family Anthem, with some new meaning ;)

Intro

Just the other day at the tavern bar

I met this rockin' chick who could dance real hard

And then I had this crazy feeling, what's wrong with me.

So she pulled me to the floor and we danced, danced, danced

And she raised her hair with her hands, hands, hands

Then the feeling came upon me, you know what I mean.

I gotta fire in the hole, and I want you to know

That it's burning thru my soul, I gotta fire in the hole.

As they called all around to say one last round

So we took another drink and we'll rock this town

Then the feeling came upon me, what's wrong with me.

So she pulled me to the floor and we danced, danced, danced

And she raised her hair with her hands, hands, hands

Then the feeling came upon me, you know what I mean.

I gotta fire in the hole, and I want you to know

That it's burning thru my soul, I gotta fire in the hole.

Oh, I can feel it, burning deep inside

Can't control it, let it be my guide

This fire won't stop, it’s taking control.

I gotta fire in the hole, and I want you to know

That it's burning thru my soul, I gotta fire in the hole.

I gotta fire in the hole, and I want you to know

That it's burning thru my soul, I gotta fire in the hole.

Behind the Music: Started with the Chorus hook and rest is history

Title: Come Back Baby

You may just say that I'm hard to handle

Well, I burned plenty ends from too many candles

Now there you go, walking out through my door

Why you leaving, whatcha leaving for?

Got to tell me, baby, don’t you love me no more?

Come back, baby, I’m your man

Nobody knows me like you understand

Come back, baby, I’m your man

Nobody blames you if I made you ran

I can't help that I'm such a fool

Well, I never followed the golden rules

Now there you go, walking out through my door

Why you leaving, whatcha leaving for?

Got to tell me, baby, don’t you love me no more?

Come back, baby, I’m your man

Nobody knows me like you understand

Come back, baby, I’m your man

Nobody blames you if I made you ran

Maybe I’ve been too much to bear,

But I swear, I’m still the one who cares.

If I could turn it all around,

I’d make things right, I’d stand my ground.

Come back, baby, I’m your man

Nobody knows me like you understand

Come back, baby, I’m your man

Nobody blames you if I made you ran

Come back, baby, I’m your man

Nobody knows me like you understand...

Writing on the Wall (2020)

Category: Country

Behind the Music: After watching 3 part Origin of Country Music mini-series, got inspiration

She’s got two hands on the Bible,

I’ve got one hand on a beer.

She said, “I hope you like that bottle,

‘Cause things gonna change around here.”

We’ve got two more bills that are due today,

But one’s gonna have to wait.

And though the dinner’s on the table,

The writing’s on the wall.

I’m gonna be the man you’ve been praying to call,

I’m gonna right these wrongs, I’m gonna fix it all.

I’ll prove my love hasn’t faded, I’ll answer the call.

Though the dinner’s on the table, the writing’s on the wall.

She’s got her teachings in that Bible,

It’s the only thing keeping her strong.

Don’t know what I’d ever do

If her love was ever gone.

Manning up is what I need to do,

Lord, after all I’ve put her through.

And though the dinner’s on the table,

The writing’s on the wall.

I’m gonna be the man you’ve been praying to call,

I’m gonna fix these cracks before the house falls.

I’ll prove my love hasn’t lingered or stalled.

Though the dinner’s on the table, the writing’s on the wall.

If I can’t read the signs she’s written in grace,

I’ll lose the only love I could never replace.

It’s time to put the bottle down, pick up my heart,

And fight for the life we’ve built from the start.

I’m gonna be the man you’ve been praying to call,

I’m gonna patch these holes before they grow too tall.

I’ll prove my love hasn’t faded, I’ll give it my all.

Though the dinner’s on the table, the writing’s on the wall.

She’s got two hands on the Bible,

I’ve got one hand reaching out.

I said goodbye to that bottle,

And let go of all my doubt.

Though the dinner’s on the table, the writing’s on the wall.

27) Dramatic (from old Rap Song) 2025

[Verse 1]

Yo, late night pacing, head full of static,

Life got me spinning, it’s so dramatic.

Words cut deep, sharper than a hatchet,

World going crazy, I can’t quite catch it.

Trying to stay chill, but the vibe so manic,

Pressure on my chest, yeah, it’s volcanic.

People wanna talk, but they act so plastic,

Keep it 100, don’t need that tactic.

[Chorus: Group Chant]

Dramatic, dramatic, running through my brain.

Dramatic, dramatic, driving me insane.

Dramatic, dramatic, like a runaway train.

Dramatic, dramatic, I’m breaking these chains.

[Verse 2]

Back in the day, thought the world was simple,

Now it’s chaos, popping like a pimple.

Truth gets buried, the lies too nimble,

Everybody fake with their Hollywood symbol.

I keep it real, yeah, I stay authentic,

But life’s so wild, it feels schizophrenic.

Dodging all the traps, it’s a maze kinetic,

Trying to find peace, but the vibe’s frenetic.

[Chorus: Group Chant]

Dramatic, dramatic, running through my brain.

Dramatic, dramatic, driving me insane.

Dramatic, dramatic, like a runaway train.

Dramatic, dramatic, I’m breaking these chains.

[Bridge: Breakdown]

(Beat slows, spoken flow)

Man, I’m hearing whispers in the dark,

Voices telling me I’m falling apart.

But nah, I’m stronger than they ever believed,

Got a fire in my soul, can’t be deceived.

(Back to beat)

I’m flipping the script, yeah, changing the plot,

Turning my pain into lessons I got.

Dramatic or not, I’ma give it a shot,

Keep climbing till I hit the top.

[Chorus: Group Chant]

Dramatic, dramatic, running through my brain.

Dramatic, dramatic, driving me insane.

Dramatic, dramatic, like a runaway train.

Dramatic, dramatic, I’m breaking these chains.

[Outro: Call and Response]

(Call) Yo, what’s the vibe? (Response) Dramatic, dramatic!

(Call) Yo, how we thrive? (Response) Dramatic, dramatic!

(Call) But we survive! (Response) Dramatic, dramatic!

(Call) Yeah, we alive! (Response) Dramatic, dramatic!

(Outro fades with beat and crowd chant: “Dramatic, dramatic...”)

28) Long Night Blues 2025

Blues Rock

[Verse]

Moonlight whispers secrets in the dark

Shadowed alleys sigh a broken heart

Empty bottles lie where dreams depart

Midnight's chill keeps tearing me apart

[Verse 2]

Streetlights flicker out a lonesome tune

Lonely echoes howl at the faded moon

My soul’s worn out like an old monsoon

Humming soft the ghosts of June

[Chorus]

It's a long night blues under starless skies

Whispers of sorrow in disguise

I wander through the city's cries

Searching for the why in goodbye

[Bridge]

Rain-soaked pavement calls my name

Faded pictures in a window frame

Tomorrow's hope lost in this game

Endless night sparks the flame

[Verse 3]

Distant thunder rumbles a broken song

Footsteps on this road feel all wrong

Hoping dawn won't take too long

In the sleeplessness where I belong

[Chorus]

It's a long night blues under starless skies

Whispers of sorrow in disguise

I wander through the city's cries

Searching for the why in goodbye

29) You Love Me Anyway - Christian Version of (I know) 2026

You know who I am

You know me by my name

Even when I feel unworthy

You still look at me the same

You know me by my name

And I know, You’re gonna love me anyway

And I know, I’ve been afraid today

I hope someday I’ll feel You near

I wish for it to be today

Sometimes when I see Your glory

I whisper, “Lord, how You doin’ today?”

I just want to know Your name

’Cause I know, You’re gonna love me anyway

And I know, I’ve been afraid today

’Cause I know, You’re gonna love me anyway

And I know, I’ve been afraid today

Your love will last always

You tell me not to be afraid

You were there from the beginning

You’ll be with me all my days

We’re gonna walk together always, always

’Cause I know, You’re gonna love me anyway

And I know, You’re with me every day

And I know, I’ve been afraid today

’Cause I know, You’re gonna love me anyway

And I know, You’re with me every day

And I know, I’ve been afraid today

’Cause I know, You’re gonna love me anyway

And I know, You’re with me every day

And I know, I’ve been afraid today

You know who I am…

And You love me anyway.
