COMES A TIME

One of the biggest challenges I had on this CD was how to fit in two acoustic songs with the rest of the full on band songs. I didn’t want to just tag them at the end and they were very much part of my story.

Comes a Time was an acoustic song that I wrote talking about my humility and the choices that I make in my life. Through my humility, I see that I have choices and my choices all have consequences…..good and/or bad. As the rest of the songs do, this one tells a small part of my story. I realized in doing my work that as smart as I think I am……my intelligence and wisdom come from three words…..”I don’t know”. I have found that the more I learn, the less I know. It is one of the paradoxes on my journey.

I also realize that I have choices and that some of the choices I made in the last 10 years will forever change my life. So what can I control? What are my choices and how do I make them? That is where the line “ Faith, hope and I pray to who I believe in” comes from with BIG emphasis on believe. It is time to believe, It is time to believe, It is time to believe.

Not only am I believing in whom I pray to, I am also believing in myself. This is a message I have been working with my whole life as there were lots of years where I did not believe in myself or what I was doing…..I was just doing what I knew how to do at the time. I now believe in myself and tell myself daily “I am enough” AND I still carry the tentacles of old messages that say I am not worthy…..and I know I am.

This is one of the reasons why I write songs……so I can hear these words over and over…….It is time to believe, It is time to believe, It is time to believe.

As my old mentor once told me……”I don’t care what you believe in……just believe in something and put your heart into it.” Comes a time…….I believe.

Comes a Time

There comes a time in every man’s life,

Where he don’t know,

Promises in the headlights, memories lostc

in all the stories,

Two roads ahead, that will change my life forever,

What do I do, what do I do,

Faith, Hope, pray to who I believe in,

It is time to believe in ourselves,

Faith, Hope, pray to who I believe in,

It is time to believe
