Awakening Freedom 05:47
lyrics
Let me awake tonight… Oh can you hear me? Open my eyes, can you heal me? Oh You know my heart’s been sleeping... Awaken my heart, Awaken my heart. Don’t… Don’t let it sleep… because… CHORUS I believe in freedom with every beat my heart will complete Keeps faith and hope in suffering, with every heartbeat We’re declaring freedom as we sing. From the times we are frail, to the times we’re impure Every teardrop crying out for a cure For the homeless, hopeless, down for the count Every last heartbeat that overcame doubt We will rise together, all people arise Come declare your freedom and open your eyes We belong together, together as one Let our hearts give every beat to the son Every hand, every knee, every soul to be free Every voice to be heard in the freedom we sing Woah (x3) CHORUS With every new heartbeat, we can break the burdens that we bare Though they are part of our story, every beat is His story If love has no time frame, we embrace the mystery of how I can take it step by step, and allow love to set me free (allow love to set us free x2) CHORUS Your love, love’s here to set me free Love’s here with all mercy So gracefully granting a new heartbeat. Yeah. Woah. Yeah…. You’re awakening, death has no sting... CHORUS

Fire 05:11
lyrics
FIRE A fire in the fields was ever glowing And night was falling on this countryside. A wind was spreading blazes to the morning My hope was fading with the burning light. When my raging sin is taking over. Your grace for mercy is all I find. You can say that I was heading nowhere. Struggling to feel my heart’s design. Your fire can ignite the water To heal the wounds fire refines. Lord I’m calling out for you… To take my heart, renew. Longing for an answer, my soul keeps burning. For pain and sorrow keep me up at night. If you can take a heart in yearning Your truth be told as you hold mine. Lord I’m calling out for you… To take my heart, renew. Renew… (RHYTHMS) Save me, Father… (x7) You save me, Father (x5)

Stranded 04:27
lyrics
STRANDED I wrote a song, all night long, about places we’ve been to. Then I pondered on where I went wrong, and how I could have helped us. Sometimes I feel alone, but sometimes it’s alright. Yeah it’s funny how the past can leave our present life feel stranded. Oh where have you led me to? I don’t see you in clear view. How can I live so restless and wait for you? Oh where have you gone? Where have you gone? Where have you gone from me? Love has moved my soul away from some places with the devil. So I sought the light in your eyes and followed you through darkness. I don’t know where we’ll go, and I don’t know why. But it’s sunny any day I’m with you even if we’re stranded. So where have you led me to? I don’t see you in clear view. How can I live so restless and wait for you? Oh where have you gone? Where have you gone? Where have you gone to be? So I’m racing through the dark to find a savior and His guiding light. I lost myself when life didn’t follow through. Oh!! Got Stranded, Oh stranded. Oh, Oh where have you gone?

Passport 04:15
lyrics
Passport Lyrics: I’ve been wandering for a while, hoping you would call At least to know you’re with me, love can quickly fall Asleep, but awake I will be… your love’s alive to.. Remind me to go travel far, your heartland’s waiting Replenish all beauty, find where your love leads us to Help find me finding you… love never leaves Chorus Oh this life is too short to forget your heart’s passport To live true, love gives back, any day could be my last Your love leads me to being free. Hope, a future lies ahead in trusting love sets free A boldness will encourage the strength and bravery To find love in true, present time. You’re the way to life… So I’ll keep each smile and tear from you As a treasure… deep in my heart

Howth 04:10
lyrics
HOWTH I went to a land where my heart would find.. A sight so unseen, so nearly divine. I walked on the coast with the two that I love And thought with the Lord “How could I not know?” See she ran up against the wind blissfully.. We got to an end, a lighthouse near sea… Said “there’s no one better”, embraced her with love. For Howth was the place that our hearts were made of. Singing “Oh my God, where have you been all this time? I’ve searched fortunes wondering for my life. You have me and all I am through my eyes.. Take me and my heart before this goodbye.. That we say to this land where we’ve both promised our lives In Unity to Him we’ve been owing our lives (x2) We opened our hearts and we traveled afar To find other beauties, define who we are No mountain, nor valley, or land near the sea. Could show the affection her eyes gave to me. Singing “Oh my God, where have you been all this time? I’ve searched fortunes wondering for my life. You have me and all I am through my eyes.. Take me and my heart before this goodbye.. That we say to this land where we’ve both promised our lives In Unity to Him we’ve been owing our lives (x2)

Johnny 03:57
lyrics
JOHNNY I came from a land down under, I do not go divide and conquer I’m coming from where trees are my family, I know where I’m free and there I want to be I’m writing my own destiny, in any place and time I can see No money in the world can take this from me, ‘Cuz I came to exist in simplicity I am Johnny... So indispensable, so unconventional, I’ll keep on traveling, ‘til I hear angels sing (x2) I am Johnny… My name carries love before me, I’ll write you a song if it’s calling me Nobody sees the world through my eyes like me, embracing my youth independently I am Johnny, Johnny… So indispensable, so unconventional, I’ll keep on traveling, ‘til I hear angels sing (x2) I am Johnny…

Fall Back Down 03:45
lyrics
FALL BACK DOWN How many times must I fall back down To realize that I’ve stumbled around. This road before… it brought so many tears In darker times of fear. But I saw the light, and strengthened my wrong, lowly ways To realize how I hurt you in those days When you stood by… for me not to fall Your patient peace would call Now I can be a fool, or I can take a Step back and see you, trying to save me. For you called me out on my selfish, foolish ways Fired up my engines to drive it all away. Don’t you realize I can’t carry it all Have mercy when you call
8.
Caught Up 03:51
lyrics
I was caught up in a dream filled with fame and vanity Went to school for what it seemed I’d was chasing there, a dream Then I got into this world, started working all my days Saving money for the rent, I don’t know where it all went. But I’d run to you, Love Yeah I’d run to you, Love Yeah I’d run to you, my Love Yeah I’d run to you You stay true through my beliefs, you walk with my through my griefs Changing times are waking dreams, through it all your faith redeems So I’ll run to you, Lord Yeah I’ll run to you, my Lord Yeah I’ll run to you, my Lord Yeah I’ll run to you Looking back at younger me, didn’t know where you lead But you held on to my dreams, now through you they’re realizing. Through you, love Through you, my Lord Through you, Jesus, through you
9.
Sometimes 03:04
lyrics
Sometimes I wonder if I could leave it all behind And drive away until the sunrise, Through the middle of the night I would go though it’s hard to heal from you my dear I just can’t find my place when this worlds caving in, heartland’s far from here... Sometimes I know… sometimes I don’t But I see some faces and places of those who don’t go… Lying to themselves that they’re moving when still, then they’re suddenly old. Time’s an illusion, the faster you move it’s not near. I just pray that my silence speaks louder of love when I’m no longer here. My love, I know… Is yours alone…
10.
Drive 04:54
lyrics
DRIVE So I’ll pack my bags and get out of here I don’t even know where i’m going Got anxiety, I stop and go to see if this choice I made was for growing So… (You’re love is knowing… you’re love is knowing me more than I know me) I put the car in drive, I’m leaving it all behind Figure time slows down when i'm going I see the road and skies clearing up my mind Leaving all the love I’ve been knowing. So I said hey, where do we go with love? (x4) I don’t know… (You’re love is knowing… you’re love is knowing me more than I know me) I don’t know!! (You’re love is knowing… you’re love is knowing me more than I know me) You put my heart in drive, I’m leaving it all behind Figure time slows down when i'm going I see the road and skies clearing up my mind Leaving all the love I’ve been knowing. So I said hey, where we go with love? I said hey, where do we go with love? I don’t know, but I’m sure it’ll be enough. I said hey, where do we go with love? (Instrumental) I don’t know! (You’re love is knowing… you’re love is knowing me more than I know me) I don’t know! Do I have to know? Do I have to know?

3:33 03:46
lyrics
You’re calling to ascension Through memories from waking dreams It’s something so familiar Yet hidden to humanity I’m begging for some answers You save me from forgetting me Free me from amnesia You’re blessing at three thirty three Chorus I’ve longed your presence to embrace Our hearts are one in space Where stars in skies align Ascend to frozen (healing) time Remember we’re divine, cuz you’re divine Your roads to inner healing From years of hidden memories Are overcoming illness And raising Spirit’s unity You’re divine (x3)

Innocence (Interlude) 01:15
lyrics
INNOCENCE (interlude) When I see the ocean... There is endless mercy, mercy awaiting... To bring me back to life... My wrongs are purified... When your arms are open wide... Your love goes before me, rewinding all these years... Fall to my knees in tears... My shield comes down from defense... Healed back to innocence... You love me like I’m innocence...

Lakes 04:21
lyrics
LAKES I saw your hands and new my plan to always be there by your side Hm--in that moment I vowed to be with you for all time Your smile, so bright, captured my eyes and left my heart in love with your soul. Hm--just know that I’ll love you no matter where you.. CHORUS Go and see all this world’s beauty And you will find my love’s for all time When in darker days call on me to take You from your heartbreaks To sail on heaven’s lakes I’m here for you… I held your hand with joyful plans to see the whole city tonight Hm--I know that it’s not much but my heart’s been waiting to.. My love grows stronger every day I see my world, how you’re it’s beauty Full of life and full of grace, I see your hands and vow like our first day..

Heartland 04:12
lyrics
Oh this place… was so unsettling Oh this place… had my heart wrestling.. I had to break free, Find your destiny, and re-define me So I put one foot forward and I let go to find grace From the past, drowning in my confusion head space I had a destination. It had it’s complications to go through. Yeah I would stop and go, you gave to rest my soul. When I found my destination in your heart, your heartland. The future’s here now, your Heart’s portal space, i’ll travel so far, come home to this place Where The past is healed now, it’s been healed your grace my home in your heart wasn’t built in a day In you heart, your heartland Where I find healing… in your heart, your heartland From all suffering… In your heart, your heartland My soul’s awakening… In you heart, your heartland From Fire refining… In you heart, your heartland Freedom Travelling… in your heart, your heartland No abandoning… In your heart, your heartland And death has not sting… In your heart, your heartland When we’re ascending… In your heart, your heartland

about

Sometimes you need to journey far away to realize who's been home keeping your heart beating.

This album is a tribute to all who have been a part of my life for the past 5 years, and all the moment's we've shared healing together in our discovery of God's heartland.
