about

First single from debut LP "Breaking Shadows" set for release in October 2019.

lyrics

oh Ma, show me a way to live that truly gives
take me down to the river so i can be delivered, from all this darkness
i made a deal with shadow that i am now willing to let go
but when you stand in the light it’s so much harder to hide when they pick a fight

so reveal to me the meaning in all this deceiving
show to me the reason for this long season, for all this darkness

oh Ma, forgive me for acting so impulsively
i aim to magnify all the positivity inside
it’s not for vanity that i set these feelings free
i know it’s for more than me that i tend these seeds

so reveal to me the meaning in all this deceiving
show to me the reason for this long season, for all this darkness

i know life is beauty, i know life is pain
we all live my serving something, but what is there to gain
from all this darkness

so Ma, show me a way to live that truly gives
take me down to the river so i can be delivered, from all this darkness
