As a lyricist, I don’t miss
I’m a homosexual and my gender is cis
Contemplating life, an existentialist
Think about myself a bit too much, narcissist
There might be no room for me in the rap game
Gonna spit out these rhymes as a no face no name
Then plug em into AI and see what happens
Chartin a new course, new life mappin
Catchin big wind in my sails
I’m the ship’s captain
The world’s changing fast for this old man
If you say I can’t, I’ll say I can
Don’t worry about what other people think
Do whatever you wanna do
Just don’t drink
If you put your mind to anything long enough
One foot in front of the other and stay tough
You can be anything that you wanna be
No dream too big
Take a look at me
If you put your mind to anything long enough
One foot in front of the other and stay tough
You can be anything that you wanna be
No dream too big
Take a look at me
They say the world’s your oyster
Let the path unfurl
Gonna crack things wide open
Find me a pearl
And when everything in my life
Is looking good and going well
Remember to stay humble
Or walk the long road through hell
And when it seems like I can’t keep moving forward
Need a break
Just remember life ain’t easy
No piece of cake
But if I reach even one person with these words
Try to inspire, make a difference
Change the world
If you put your mind to anything long enough
One foot in front of the other and stay tough
You can be anything that you wanna be
No dream too big
Take a look at me
If you put your mind to anything long enough
One foot in front of the other and stay tough
You can be anything that you wanna be
No dream too big
Take a look at me
If music be the food of love
Let’s play on
If you ever feel like giving up
Please remember to stay strong
I’ve been in your shoes, my friend
Walked a mile
I promise it gets better tomorrow
Don’t forget to smile
I’ve been in your shoes, my friend
Walked a mile
I promise it gets better tomorrow
Don’t forget to smile
If you put your mind to anything long enough
One foot in front of the other and stay tough
You can be anything that you wanna be
No dream too big
Take a look at me
It’s okay to drop the ball now and then from time to time
But mostly I’m just saying that so I know the words will rhyme
Truthfully I’m usually more often full of fear
Edging joy out of my life and holding worry near
What I wouldn’t give these days for just a little peace of mind
But ask me how I’m doing and I’ll surely say I’m fine
If you wake up in the morning with your thoughts racing around
Wishing you could stay in bed with your feet up off the ground
I’m telling you you’re not alone it’s more common than you think
It’s why most of us are masking pain with shopping, drugs and drink
But let me also tell you this you gotta face the day
One day at a time my friend there is no other way
Stay in this perfect moment the very best you can
Cuz the good lord will never burden you with more than you can stand
You can have almost everything that you’re dreaming of
And if no one has told you yet today, you’re amazing and you’re loved.
I’ve walked a long and winding road not quite sure where I’m going
And most of all the fear I’ve felt is from all of the not knowing
It’s taken a long time for me to finally calm down
Put down the shovel and stopped digging, turned my whole damn life around
It hasn’t been an easy path, but it’s the hand that I was dealt
And now I’m so very grateful for all the feelings that I’ve felt
Stay in this perfect moment the very best you can
Cuz the good lord will never burden you with more than you can stand
You can have almost everything that you’re dreaming of
And if no one has told you yet today, you’re amazing and you’re loved.
If no one has told you yet today,
You’re amazing and you’re loved.
Our love is special
It has been from the very start
We spent years in different countries
An entire world apart
But now we are together
And it’s better than my wildest dreams
Tell me that you feel it too
That we’re as good as we seem
Will you hold my hand
Be my man and stand by my side
Will you love me forever
On this roller coaster ride
Will you walk with me in life
For as long as you can stand
Will you take a chance on us
And be my husband
This time it feels different
Than it ever has before
And I know I’ve said that every time
But this time I mean it more
It’s never been this easy
And hard at the same time
But everything gets a little better
When I look into your eyes
Don’t know what the future
Will bring our way
But you can bet your life when I say
You’ll never have to spend another day alone
Will you hold my hand
Be my man and stand by my side
Will you love me forever
On this roller coaster ride
Will you walk with me in life
For as long as you can stand
Will you take a chance on us
And be my husband
Take my hand
Wear this ring and stand by my side
Love me forever
For the rest of our lives
I’ll walk with you in life
And I’ll always be your man
Take a chance on us
And be my husband

This thought came to me
While I was out for a drive
There seems to be two of me
That keep wantin’ to fight
One is trying to kill me
By tellin’ me some lies
The other fighting back
Tryin’ to keep me alive
The problem with all of this
And I finally realized
Both of these people
Only exist inside my mind
The solution becomes clear
Let me tell you this
When I separate from my mind
I truly find some bliss
Check the stove
Check it once more
Click one, two, three
Then open the door
One step, two step
Over the crack
Don’t put your foot down
Or you’ll break her back
Mom’s sweet voice
Inside your ears
Rattlin’ around
In your head for years
Sometimes it’s not even me
Makin my choices
I think I’m goin’ crazy
Man, I’m hearin’ voices
I think that I’ve been giving
Too much power to my mind
Stuck inside the prison of my thoughts
Been doin’ time
I gotta stop thinkin’
Before I go insane
Or maybe this is it
Gotta dance in the rain
Got so many isms
I’m like a walkin’ disease
Got so many ticks and twitches
It’s like I got frickin’ fleas
It’s no wonder that I’ve tried to calm down
Using all seven sins
Looking outside for answers
Cuz I couldn’t look in
Check the stove
Check it once more
Click one, two, three
Then open the door
One step, two step
Over the crack
Don’t put your foot down
Or you’ll break her back
Mom’s sweet voice
Inside your ears
Rattlin’ around
In your head for years
Sometimes it’s not even me
Makin my choices
I think I’m goin’ crazy
Man, I’m hearin’ voices
This thought came to me
While I was out for a drive
There seems to be two of me
That keep wantin’ to fight
Gotta stop all the talkin’
Don’t know who’s wrong and who’s right
Gotta lay down my head
And just call it a night
I’d been diggin’ myself so many holes
That I ended up in China
Had to travel all around the world
Just so I could find ya
I can’t believe the way life goes
While you’re busy making plans
The world turns quick, flips upside down
To make you into a better man
I’d been lookin’ everywhere
Searchin’ high and low
And you never seemed to be in
The places I would go
But now I’ve got you wrapped up in my arms
You can rest assured I’ll never leave
I’m finally where I’m meant to be
And I won’t ever do you any harm
You never seemed to be in
The places I would go
But now I’ve got you wrapped up in my arms
Now I’m here right by your side
And many years have passed
I’ll spend my whole damn life with you
Man, this river’s runnin’ fast
You’re everything I’ll ever need
I hope you see the same in me
Hold me like we’ve got nowhere to go
And when this life gets a little tough
And we start to feel like giving up
That is when I need for you to know
I’d been lookin’ everywhere
Searchin’ high and low
And you never seemed to be in
The places I would go
But now I’ve got you wrapped up in my arms
You can rest assured I’ll never leave
I’m finally where I’m meant to be
And I won’t ever do you any harm
You never seemed to be in
The places I would go
But now I’ve got you wrapped up in my arms
Now I’ve got you wrapped up in my arms
Someday the day will come
When you won’t be here anymore
So I’ve got some stuff to say
Before you knock on heaven’s door
Sometimes we don’t express ourselves
Until it’s way too late
So let me tell you how I feel
Before you stand at heaven’s gate
You’ve been the best mom
Like an angel here on earth
While you’re still here and we’ve got time
Let me say these loving words
You’ve been the best mom
Could not have asked for anything more
So let me tell you this right now
I love you to my core
You always stood right by my side
And told me you were proud
While I was trying to find my way
Getting lost in the crowd
I can’t imagine how it must have felt
Worryin’ yourself to sleep
Praying to the only God you knew
That he had my soul to keep
You’ve been the best mom
Like an angel here on earth
While you’re still here and we’ve got time
Let me say these loving words
You’ve been the best mom
Could not have asked for anything more
So let me tell you this right now
I love you to my core
We’ve had our share of fights it’s true
A life of ups and downs
But you’re one of the main reasons
I’m still down here on the ground
I’m gonna miss you so damn much
Every day after you go
So here’s a bunch of things
That I need for you to know
You’ve been the best mom
Like an angel here on earth
While you’re still here and we’ve got time
Let me say these loving words
You’ve been the best mom
Could not have asked for anything more
So let me tell you this right now
I love you to my core
I’m sure there are so many things
You’ve chosen not to say
While I was falling down and floundering
Trying to find my way
You’ve turned your cheek so many times
When I chose angry words
If I could take back all the things I’ve said
I’d give anything in this world
You’ve been the best mom
Turned a boy into a man
And I just wanna say thank you
For everything I am
Sometimes I can’t believe
Just how far I’ve come
And I know I’ve made it all this way
Because you are my mom
The water falls into the puddle
And the sun comes out to play
The puddle gets really hot
And the water goes away
The water rises up into the sky
And makes a bunch of clouds
The clouds get very heavy
And the rain comes pouring down
Evaporation
Condensation
And the rain falls down as precipitation
It’s the water cycle, the water cycle
Over and over again
Yes, the water cycle, the water cycle
Now sing it with a friend
The water falls into the puddle
And the sun comes out to play
The puddle gets really hot
And T he water goes away
The water rises up into the sky
And makes a bunch of clouds
The clouds get very heavy
And the rain comes pouring down
Evaporation
Condensation
And the rain falls down as precipitation
Hey there puddle
Where did you go
I’m in the clouds kids
Don’t you know
I’ll come back again
Someday soon
And I’ll rain down
Like a monsoon
It’s the water cycle, the water cycle
Over and over again
Yes, the water cycle, the water cycle
Even happens when you’re in bed
Sometimes when you fight, it scares me
Even when you’re in the other room
I don’t like all the loud shouting
I hope that you stop soon
You think that it doesn’t bother me
But you couldn’t be more wrong
Sometimes when you fight, it scares me
So I’m singing this little song
I hope you know I need peace
A quiet and happy home
When the house gets loud and crazy
I feel sad and all alone
I wish that you’d stop fighting
So I feel happy and safe
I don’t want to have bad memories
That my mind can’t seem to erase
When you’re mad at each other,
It scares me
I get worried by all the loud noises
Please turn down the volume
Please use your inside voices
Do you know that my brain is still growing
And it needs to feel happy and safe
It needs a place to rest and relax
And our home should be that place
I hope you know I need peace
A quiet and happy home
When the house gets loud and crazy
I feel sad and all alone
I wish that you’d stop fighting
So I feel happy and safe
I don’t want to have bad memories
That my mind can’t seem to erase
I wish that you’d stop fighting
So I feel happy and safe
I don’t want to have bad memories
That my mind can’t seem to erase
So the next time that you’re angry
Please play this song on your phone
Don’t scream and fight and shout
Make this a safe and happy home
As a lyricist, I don’t miss
I’m a homosexual and my gender is cis
Contemplating life, an existentialist
Think about myself a bit too much, narcissist
There might be no room for me in the rap game
Gonna spit out these rhymes as a no face no name
Then plug em into AI and see what happens
Chartin a new course, new life mappin
Catchin big wind in my sails
I’m the ship’s captain
The world’s changing fast for this old man
If you say I can’t, I’ll say I can
Don’t worry about what other people think
Do whatever you wanna do
Just don’t drink
If you put your mind to anything long enough
One foot in front of the other and stay tough
You can be anything that you wanna be
No dream too big
Take a look at me
If you put your mind to anything long enough
One foot in front of the other and stay tough
You can be anything that you wanna be
No dream too big
Take a look at me
They say the world’s your oyster
Let the path unfurl
Gonna crack things wide open
Find me a pearl
And when everything in my life
Is looking good and going well
Remember to stay humble
Or walk the long road through hell
And when it seems like I can’t keep moving forward
Need a break
Just remember life ain’t easy
No piece of cake
But if I reach even one person with these words
Try to inspire, make a difference
Change the world
If you put your mind to anything long enough
One foot in front of the other and stay tough
You can be anything that you wanna be
No dream too big
Take a look at me
If you put your mind to anything long enough
One foot in front of the other and stay tough
You can be anything that you wanna be
No dream too big
Take a look at me
If music be the food of love
Let’s play on
If you ever feel like giving up
Please remember to stay strong
I’ve been in your shoes, my friend
Walked a mile
I promise it gets better tomorrow
Don’t forget to smile

One day at a time my friend there is no other way
Stay in this perfect moment the very best you can
Cuz the good lord will never burden you with more than you can stand
You can have almost everything that you’re dreaming of
And if no one has told you yet today, you’re amazing and you’re loved.
I’ve walked a long and winding road not quite sure where I’m going
And most of all the fear I’ve felt is from all of the not knowing
It’s taken a long time for me to finally calm down
Put down the shovel and stopped digging, turned my whole damn life around
It hasn’t been an easy path, but it’s the hand that I was dealt
And now I’m so very grateful for all the feelings that I’ve felt
Stay in this perfect moment the very best you can

If no one has told you yet today,
You’re amazing and you’re loved.
Our love is special
It has been from the very start
We spent years in different countries
An entire world apart
But now we are together
And it’s better than my wildest dreams
Tell me that you feel it too
That we’re as good as we seem
Will you hold my hand
Be my man and stand by my side
Will you love me forever
On this roller coaster ride
Will you walk with me in life
For as long as you can stand
Will you take a chance on us
And be my husband
This time it feels different
Than it ever has before
And I know I’ve said that every time
But this time I mean it more
It’s never been this easy
And hard at the same time
But everything gets a little better
When I look into your eyes
Don’t know what the future
Will bring our way
But you can bet your life when I say
You’ll never have to spend another day alone
Will you hold my hand
Be my man and stand by my side
Will you love me forever
On this roller coaster ride
Will you walk with me in life
For as long as you can stand
Will you take a chance on us
And be my husband
Take my hand
Wear this ring and stand by my side
Love me forever

First and foremost I'm a fan of all genres of music. I've always loved writing lyrics, but only recently decided to share my work with others. I hope you enjoy what I've written so far, and I'm sure I have many more just waiting in the wings.
I will be uploading original lyrics for songs that I've personally written. For most of what I write, I also use AI song generating technology to produce a carefully curated demo of the melody and vocals that brings to life what my original vision was for the song (as I am not a musician). The AI generated demos are from applications that I have paid memberships with, therefore I own the songs in their current version. The AI demos have been uploaded to accompany the lyrics, however it's the lyrics themselves that are for sale--I've only included the demos as inspiration. Rest assured that the lyrics themselves are 100% original and written by me with no AI technology used in that part of the process.
