Songwriter Diaries

Sometimes the dreaming’s all I ever do
Sometimes I fall asleep and dream of dreaming too
My heart is open and my spirit free
Still I’m not where I want to be

I’m spending days with my head in the clouds
I’m walking circles and I get lost in the crowd
I can’t believe all of the time that’s gone
Still I’m not where I belong
 
Once I gave it all to have it all
I used to be more than just a dreamer
More than just a dreamer
It’s time to pick myself up from the fall
I want to be more than just a dreamer
More than just a dreamer
Head in the clouds
Help me find a way out
 
Sometimes I cry for all the things I’ve missed
Sometimes I wonder why it all has come to this
But I know there’s a reason for these tears
A reason why I’m still here

I’ve lived in shadows for the past few years
Dreaming in secret in the company of fears (though accompanied by fear)
But something’s calling that I can’t ignore
Something good my life is for
 
Once I gave it all to have it all
I used to be more than just a dreamer
More than just a dreamer
It’s time to pick myself up from the fall
I want to be more than just a dreamer
More than just a dreamer
Head in the clouds
Help me find a way out
Help me find a way out
 
Once I gave it all to have it all
I used to be more than just a dreamer
More than just a dreamer
It’s time to pick myself up from the fall
I want to be more than just a dreamer

What is Songwriter Diaries?

I've been writing songs since I was around 15 years old, well over half my lifetime ago. Figured it was time to be brave and share them somehow. Music has always been a saving grace in my life and my hope is that listening helps you in some small way, just as composing has helped me.
