Skype Hug

Skype Hug - Written 2012. Dedicated to Matthew and Maja Rellaford, my brother and his fiance. We wrote this hip-hop song for them.

It seems like years ago
and yesterday
When we were meant to be
in Hungary
You stole my heart like
a Gypsy Queen.
You had beauty like
I had never seen
You make me feel like
a Russian King
so I'll take the time
to stop and sing.

And so I'll give you a skype hug
Because I can't live without your love.
With every Skype picture,
my heart's a Skype mixture.
A Skype kiss goodbye
and I'll say goodnight.

On the days when I
feel down.
I know with you I'll
feel found.
A hundred of your
soft whispers
Will feel softer than
a cat's whiskers
Our 3 days together will
last forever. . . .



Bridge:
The birds and the bees
I'm weak in the knees
Ever since we met I've been looking for a reason
I'm feeling the sickness of every season . . .

Christmas Day

Christmas Day - Written Christmastime 2011 (song in the works)

It' Christmas Day
and I wake again
to ponder on
the son of man.
The day we celebrate
at last
to praise the babe
born in the past.
He came to earth
so long ago
to take my pain
and heal my sin.
I take the time
to stop again
and offer up
a prayer of thanks.

So I rejoice in the day
that Christ was born to say
Come follow me
so you can see
that I love thee
so you can perfect be.

Another day

Another day - Written 2012

Another day has come again
to pass away
The sun  has come again
to give a ray
The grass is green again
to make my day
The sky is blue again
we want to play.
We frolic in the grass again
and under clouds we lay.
In all our fun we've had again
it makes me want to say
The winter's gone again
to make way for May
To all our friends we see again,
we stop to say hey!
The summer is here again,
and that is okay!
So let's go to swim again
in the pretty bay.

You Complete me

You Complete Me - Written 2012

I made another mistake
the pain you couldn't take
you walked away
before I could say

You make my day
you make the rain go away
You complete me
You are the sea
You have my heart
like a piece of art
You're like a dove
you are my love.

Hero

Hero - Written Summer 2011

What are these visions in my head?
What are these dreams with shades of red?
What is to be my destiny?
What is to come? I can't foresee.

I choose to be a hero
I choose to conquer fear, ohhh!
I choose to be a man
doing all I can
Cause when the world stands still
I will fight until, the end

Some live life a normal citizen
Some choose to make a difference
Some live life in constant fear
and others overcome with the power of will.

Writing this song

Writing this song - Written Senior year

And I'm writing this song
about singing your heart out day after day
are you coming along?
or Am I writing this song all in vain?


Fame

Fame (Rap) - Written 2011, I think.

As a kid I always wanted fame
I dreamed about it every night and day
but it turned out to be all in vain
Cause I never got it, so I lost the game

When middle school came around again
I was back in the game, I was trying again
I was finding myself, finding who I'd be
but then it eventually occurred to me,

Fame is just a lonely game
Everyone wants it
so we're all the same
We're still fighting for a luxurious thing
But why do we do it,
if it's not worth anything.

 In High School I had the spotlight
And maybe it blurred my sight
But fame didn't matter much
because I didn't need it as such,

but I learned something more important
that no one can say you can't
For we choose who we are
and when we do, we will go far,
because

Fame is just a lonely game
Everyone wants it
so we're all the same
We're still fighting for a luxurious thing
But why do we do it,
if it's not worth anything.

People really want to see
Who you can be
so believe in yourself
and get yourself off the shelf

Just be yourself, be who you are
Fame and glory only take you so far
because it's your everyday side
that will change the tide, because
