Unrefined
Once upon a time, you called
and I was galled
You found me at the bottom
A mystery, you came to me
You held me in my sorrow
​
I don't know how but your caress
Has left me dispossessed
I'm sprawled out, burdens manifest
and I'm scared for you to know what
​
Secrets I hide. Don't make me decide
'Cause I can't lie. I have tried
and I hate this disguise
So take me as I am - unrefined
​
I must confess I'm a mess
'Cause I've repressed so much that I can't swallow
But your soul's filled this black heart whole
And I've lost all self control
I'm opened up, now read my scroll
'Cause I'm ready for you to know what
​
Secrets I hide. You don't have to decide
'Cause I won't lie. I have tried
And I hate this disguise
I'll give you all I am - unrefined
I'll tell you the secrets I hide. I won't make you decide
No I won't lie. I have tried
I won't wear my disguise.
I'll give you all I am - unrefined.
To Keep the Future Aglow
It's time we look in the mirror
And try to see ourselves from afar
It's bizarre
How we all think we're the brightest star
And that's freedom's scar
It's fooled us to a lonely heart
Separate, not connected, and we're only left rejected
​
We can be better than alone
You know
And it's not just who you are
You know
Together we can fix this show
I know
It's not that easy to grow
It's slow
But it's the way to keep the future aglow
​​
I think it's safe to say, we may not want to change
But it's time to face our judgment day
And if we rearrange. If we turn the page
and let compassion come and take the stage
It's time to take perspective; we can only be effective
if we're not left here infected
​
CHORUS
​
Our world won't be protected
Until we're all invested
It must be our objective
To just be more connected
​
CHORUS
Secret Lullaby
Here I am, wrapped in the sound of your microphone
Singing to me the sweetest tones
Falling asleep again alone
I could be your stepping stone
The way to ignite your heart again
Happiness struck with a pen
A happiness for now and then
A dream where I'm your only man
The lyrics to your favorite song
I hope and pray you'll sing along
Cause in your heartbeat I belong, oh
​
I'm here lost in that moment I saw you there
It's like a dream I can see you clear
You wore a flower in your hair, baby
I'm going crazy
I'm losing sleep from your beauty
The light in your eyes it is haunting me
I can't forget you. I need you. You're my secret lullaby
​
I picture us in a happy home
Our children by the cornerstone
Watching how they all have grown
and playing with a xylophone
And as our dreams are coming true
It feels a bit like deja vu
I'm falling more in love with you
​
CHORUS
