Second Breath
Verse 1
I was down in the valley, shadow and stone
Second breath, gonna bring me home!
Chains fell off when the morning broke
Second breath, hear the trumpet spoke!
Chorus
Second breath! Second breath!
New life rising where the grave once slept.
Second breath! Second breath!
Dance it loud, don’t you ever forget!
Verse 2
Old roads burned and the map turned white
Second breath, stepping into light!
Heartbeat stronger than the dark last night
Second breath, everything’s alright!
Chorus
Second breath! Second breath!
New life rising where the grave once slept.
Second breath! Second breath!
Dance it loud, don’t you ever forget!
Verse 3
This life is a gift I never planned,
Not a repeat, it’s a brand-new band.
Grace found me, set my feet to roam;
Now every street feels like coming home.
Chorus
Second breath! Second breath!
Lift your voice, let the brass confess.
Second breath! Second breath!
From death to life, we are truly blessed!
Keep that joy rolling! One more time for the streets!
Final Chorus
Second breath! Second breath!
New life rising where the grave once slept.
Second breath! Second breath!
Dance it loud, don’t you ever forget!
Second breath! New life!
Second breath! New life!
My Own Sun (Country Stomp)
Verse 1
I woke up to golden light
Through my window, chasing night
Not even the brightest flame
Can compare to when you say my name

And you bring heaven to my side

The only one
No light above
Can match your love

All the world could shine so wide
But your glow pulls the tide
Even stars can’t steal your crown
Your smile lifts me off the ground

Let’s dance in daylight’s grace
You’re the warmth in every place

You are my sun
The only one
No light above
Can match your love

O sole mio, sta nfronte a te

Golden beams and sapphire skies
Mean nothing if I don’t see your eyes
The day begins when you appear
You're the dawn that draws me near
O sole mio, sta nfronte a te

You are my sun
The rising one
When the day is done
You're still the one

Touch My Heart
Verse 1
The road is dim and shadows fall,
Lord, I can’t trust my strength at all.
You said if I just asked,
You’ll give me wisdom that will last.
Chorus
Good Lord help me in this earthly fight
To walk with faith and not by sight
Help me speak less, listen more and be still
Touch my heart to match Your will
Verse 2
Not every voice that calls is right,
Some lead astray, some hide the light.
You said test, and hold what’s good, and
Stand in truth like our Man stood.

Good Lord help me in this earthly fight
To walk with faith and not by sight
Help me speak less, listen more and be still
Touch my heart to match Your will

Renew my mind, remake my ways,
Shape me in Your perfect grace.
Not of this world, but set apart,
Your Spirit voice will guard my heart.

Good Lord help me in this earthly fight
To walk with faith and not by sight
Help me speak less, listen more and be still
Touch my heart to match Your will

Help me speak less, listen more and be still
Touch my heart to match Your will
Touch my heart to match Your will
Touch my heart to match Your will
Steady Man
Verse 1
I used to swing at everything,
Teeth locked tight in the center ring,
Proved my ground, drew my line,
Took my hits and called ’em mine.
The mirror talked, it told it straight,
Showed the cracks I couldn’t fake,
The road was thin, the nights were long,
But they cut my will and shaped my song.
Pre-Chorus
Storms don’t stay, they pass you by,
Leave you changed or leave you dry
Chorus
I don’t burn like I burned back then,
I don’t chase every might have been,
I don’t shout just to be heard
I live the weight of every word.
I don’t fight just to prove I can,
I stand so others know they can,
I’m rooted and steady,
A steady man.
Steady man.
Steady man.
Steady man.
Verse 2
I’ve learned that force can bruise the room,
And pride can light a fuse too soon,
So I slow my tongue, I guard my tone,
Strength stands taller when it’s not alone.
Keep my word, return the call,
Hold my peace when tempers fall,
Not every spark needs my flame,
Not every shadow knows my name.
Pre-Chorus
Some wins don’t make a sound at all,
They rise when lesser men would fall
Chorus
I don’t burn like I burned back then,
I don’t chase every might have been,
I don’t shout just to be heard
I live the weight of every word.
I don’t fight just to prove I can,
I stand so others know they can,
I’m rooted and steady,
A steady man.
Steady man.
Steady man.
Steady man.
Bridge
Anger knocks but it don’t drive,
Fear shows up but it don’t survive,
The fighter’s still inside my chest
He just answers to something best.
Not built for noise,
Built for trust,
Not chasing shine,
Choosing just.
Final Chorus
I don’t burn like I burned back then,
But the fire runs deeper within,
I don’t shout just to be heard
I stand on the truth of every word.
I don’t fight just to prove I can,
I stand so others know they can,
When the storm rolls in again
You’ll find me right where I stand
I don’t fight just to prove I can,
I stand so others know they can,
I’m rooted and steady,
A steady man.
Steady man.
Steady man.
Steady man.
Amen
Amen
Amen
The Man I Wanted To Be
Let me tell you where I’ve been
Verse 1
I ran these streets, I chased that prize,
Thought I was king, but I lived in lies.
Gold on my wrist, weight on my soul,
Tryna fill that void, but it left me cold.
They said, “Boy, you got it all!”
But I heard the call, had to risk the fall.
That wide road, yeah, it looked so sweet,
’Til I tripped on pride and fell at His feet.
“Enter through the narrow gate,”
Not for the weak, not for the fake.
Left that crowd, walked that climb,
Now I’m shining in a light divine.
Chorus
“Restore my joy, lift me high,”
Took my chains, let me fly.
Gave me grace, gave me peace,
Now I rise, now I’m free.
Verse 2
Tried to fight with fists of steel,
Swore my own strength could make me healed.
Built my fortress, raised my walls,
But I was trapped inside it all.
“Put on the armor, stand and fight,”
Not by might but by His light.
Took that Word, made it my sword,
Now I roll with the King, my Lord.
Bridge
Not my plan!
Not my way.
Had to kneel!
Had to pray.
Told my pride!
Step aside!
Now I walk with God inside.
Chorus
“Restore my joy, lift me high,”
Took my chains, let me fly.
Gave me grace, gave me peace,
Now I rise, now I’m free.
Outro
I used to be lost, now I’m found.
Used to chase the world, now I chase the crown.
No more masks, no more fear,
I finally see, I’m standing here.
I ain’t perfect, nah, not even close,
But I serve a King who loves me most.
Through faith, through fire, through mercy’s plea
I’m finally the man I was meant to be.
“Restore my joy, lift me high,”
Took my chains, let me fly.
Gave me grace, gave me peace,
Now I rise, now I’m free.
Before Trouble Starts
Verse 1
Trouble’s knocking at the door
Keep your rhythm, move once more
Every step can plant a seed
Every thought can shape a deed
Chorus
Keep your heart full of rhythm
Keep your mind out the dark
Live your life wide open
Before trouble knocks, be ready to start
Keep your heart full of rhythm
Keep your mind out the dark
Live your life wide open
Step ahead, before trouble knocks
Verse 2
Shadows stir along the way
Step with grace, turn night to day
Every urge that tempts the soul
Can be softened, can be whole
Chorus
Keep your heart full of rhythm
Keep your mind out the dark
Live your life wide open
Before trouble knocks, be ready to start
Keep your heart full of rhythm
Keep your mind out the dark
Live your life wide open
Step ahead, before trouble knocks
Bridge
You’ve got power, you take your stand
Step ahead, hold my hand
Let it lift you as you go
Feel it move and let it flow
Move ahead, let spirit talk
Stay alive, before it knocks
Chorus
Keep your heart full of rhythm
Keep your mind out the dark
Live your life wide open
Before trouble knocks, be ready to start
Outro
Step ahead, before trouble knocks
Live your life wide open
Step ahead, before trouble knocks
Keep your heart full of rhythm
Live your life wide open
Step ahead, before trouble knocks
Before trouble knocks, before trouble knocks
Heart of Your Soul
Verse 1
Born with a body, born with a brain,
Like hardware and software, wired all the same.
Every word spoken, every song you hear,
It writes the code you’ll carry through the years.
Chorus
Be careful what you feed your mind,
Be careful what you let inside.
What you watch, what you breathe, what you hold,
Writes the design, the heart of your soul.
Verse 2
Thumb keeps rollin’, chasin’ a prize,
Screens keep flashin’, stealin’ your eyes.
Every click’s a trap, every scroll’s a toll,
It writes the code that shapes your soul.
Chorus
Be careful what you feed your mind,
Be careful what you let inside.
What you watch, what you breathe, what you hold,
Writes the design, the heart of your soul
Bridge
Step outside where the wild things grow,
Lift your face to the light you know.
Take a deep breath, let the fresh air roll,
Nature writes truth, the heart of your soul.
Final Chorus
Be careful what you feed your mind,
Be careful what you let inside.
What you watch, what you breathe, what you hold,
Writes the design, the heart of your soul.
Rehearsing Old Pain
Verse 1
There’s a curious human custom
Not discussed in polite refrain
How a heart can swear it’s finished
Yet still rehearse the same old pain
The vow is clear at morning
The conscience sharp and bright
Today I leave the burning stove
Today I choose the light
Verse 2
But evening has its theater
And habit knows the cues
The door we swore we’d never knock
Is strangely easy to use
Some say it’s just a weakness
Some say a lack of will
But that’s a tidy theory
For a story deeper still
Chorus
Pain can masquerade as proof
A signal through the haze
At least this spark is something
At least this fire still plays
And every old familiar ache
Whispers through the brain
Come on back and see me
Still rehearsing old pain
Verse 3
The lover who keeps leaving
The job that steals the breath
The quiet little habit
That nibbles hope to death
Each comes with private promises
No logic can explain
I’ll hurt you just enough tonight
To make you feel again
Chorus
Pain can masquerade as proof
A signal through the haze
At least this spark is something
At least this fire still plays
And every old familiar ache
Whispers through the brain
Come on back and see me
Still rehearsing old pain
Bridge
But somewhere past the ritual
Past shame’s embarrassed shrug
A quieter truth is waiting
Outside the looping tug
The heart that keeps returning
Is not in love with pain
It only learned that thunder
Was the fastest way to rain
Final Chorus
Pain can masquerade as proof
A signal through the haze
At least this spark is something
At least this fire still plays
But somewhere in the distance
A softer light may reign
And I might stop this living
Still rehearsing old pain
Blue on Blue
Verse 1
There’s a fire in the silence, a storm in the room,
Two hearts colliding in the heat and the gloom.
One gaze is ice, holding secrets inside,
The other is restless, a wave at high tide.
Chorus
Blue on blue, a haunting refrain,
Longing and distance, desire and pain.
The story told in a glance so blue,
Forever remembered
Blue on blue.
Verse 2
He looks away with a glass in his hand,
She leans in closer, makes her quiet stand.
No need for words, no need for disguise,
The truth is burning in the flash of their eyes.
Chorus
Blue on blue, a haunting refrain,
Longing and distance, desire and pain.
The story told in a glance so blue,
Forever remembered
Blue on blue.
Final Chorus
Blue on blue, a haunting refrain,
Longing and distance, desire and pain.
The story told in a glance so blue,
Forever remembered
Blue on blue.
Together We Make The Harmony
Verse 1
Once the world was painted gray, shadows stole the light
But every shade begins to glow when given room to shine
The blue of sky, the green of fields, the brown of rooted ground
Together in their differences, a brighter song is found
Chorus
Side by side, the colors shine
The colors shine!
Different colors, one design
One design!
Always, always meant to be
Together, we make the harmony
Verse 2
Every voice a story told, each one bold and true
But when they rise together strong, they paint the sky in color too
Not a single note alone, but a chorus wide and free
Every hand and every heart bound in unity
Chorus
Side by side, the colors shine
The colors shine!
Different colors, one design
One design!
Always, always meant to be
Together, we make the harmony
Bridge
If all were blended, beauty fades
The dream would slip away
But stand apart, yet hand in hand
The light will lead the way!
Final Chorus
Side by side, the colors shine
The colors shine!
Different colors, one design
One design!
Always always meant to be
TOGETHER WE MAKE THE HARMONY
TOGETHER WE MAKE THE HARMONY
TOGETHER WE MAKE THE HARMONY!
Take What’s You
Verse 1
The game don’t always give back what you gave,
Sometimes the field is just dirt and a wave.
You showed up strong, and you held the line
And there’s something in that you don’t leave behind.
Chorus
You take the fight, you take the fire,
You take the grit that never tired.
You take the laughs, the bruises too,
And every inch of the good that grew.
You don’t take the score, you take the truth.
You take what mattered. You take what’s you.
Verse 2
Maybe this chapter don’t get re-read,
Maybe the story just bows its head.
But if it ends on that final play,
Let it echo strong in the lives it made.
Chorus
You take the heat, you take the heart,
You take the bonds that don’t fall apart.
You take the jersey, worn right through
And every cheer that carried you.
You don’t take the crown,you take the proof.
You take what mattered. You take what’s you.
Bridge
Every hit you take, every tear you cry
It carves the road you rise up by.
The loss don’t sink you, it lifts you higher.
You walk through fire, and come out wiser.
Final Chorus
You take the fight, you take the fire,
You take the grit that never tired.
You take the laughs, the bruises too,
And every inch of the good that grew.
You don’t take the score, you take the truth.
You take what mattered. You take what’s you.
Outro
Not every win gets carved in stone,
But every mile was ours together.
And when it ends, you just walk through
With everything the game gave to you.
You take what mattered.
You take what’s you.
