lyrics

Verse 1:

I’m in a hole
A holy pit

Full of my self-righteousness
I grasp the wall
, I try to flee

But no one takes their pity on me

Verse 2:

Torrential pride

Hangs over my life

Dealing out its endless strife
It entices me, it pulls me in
And I fall prey to its ways again

Chorus 1:

Why do you struggle so?

What do you hope to find?

What did you have in mind?

Where are you going?
Can you change anything?
Why are you climbing?
"
I want to be free!"

Verse 3:

There is a cause

That I find just

To return this world to its highest trust
That men might see
The hand of God
And in His presence bow in awe!


Chorus 2:

Why do I struggle so?
What do I hope to find?

What did I have in mind?


Where am I going?
Can I change anything?
Why am I climbing?

Bridge:

Because they’re crying out…

"I want to be free!

I want to be free!"
Oh God, make us free!
Oh God, make us free!
Oh God, make us free!

I want to be free…

Ending:

I remember the way
You showed me Your grace
You brought me new life

And I never want to try
To outdo Your love
To say You’re not enough

But please, take all of me
Into Your hands
And show me Your plan

And please, send forth Your word

Capture our hearts
And hear our plea…

"I want to be free"
I want to be free

My music is eclectic. My vision is to inspire people to see God in ways they normally wouldn't expect.

From dark, dramatic melodies and eerie music that will leave you feeling like Phantom of the Opera, to joyous, acoustic, jazz-inspired songs that uplift the soul, my music will bring you on a journey of faith.

Take a listen, and be prepared to dive into the unknown. ... more
