Smooth R&B/Soul/Pop song about the spiritual journey of Hi.Low
Two solo artists combine to bring a melting pot of pop, rap, r&b, soul and funk.
Hi.Low is a melting pot of different sounds and vibes. Two solo artists blend together to bring powerful pop music with a hip-hop edge. Truck (a.k.a. Keoni Kelso) adds a flavor of pop and his radio-friendly raps add a hint of his hip-hop influences. Mikee lends a soulful voice to the group, lending that taste of r&b, soul and funk.
Story behind the song
This song was written for a show YFC hired us to perform for. We promised to sing a Christian song but couldn't find one that really fit us so we wrote one instead.
Lyrics
As a child, I used to sit and wonder why
The grass is green and blue to the sky
What made me live, what made me feel when I want to cry
And then came grandma and told me exactly why
I stayed up so I can see the sunrise
Colors played as the room began to get bright
And then I smiled, my first one in a long time
It’s been a while but I found a prayer in my mind
A monologue taught to me some time ago
A daily speech before the time I just let go
Turned my back but I think it’s time to retrace
My steps and unchange those things I’ve changed
Doubting’s ungifted, my spirits lifted
My life is scripted, my world has shifted
Cause love is patient, yeah, love is kind
I feel it in my heart, I feel it in my mind
The best expression of love is time
He wants your love and to be with you
Your burdens gone, your hurdles none cause he’s there by your side
The moment’s now, I tell you life will be better now
And when the blues have faded from the sky above
Turned off the TV, soon everyone would wake up
Lay on the pillow and just then, I closed my eyes
Planning to sleep as the morning just drifts by
I sit and think about the footprints in the sand
A little kid letting go of his father’s hand
I do my best to live a life that’s driven
So we can all be neighbors in heaven
Doubting’s ungifted, my spirits lifted
My life is scripted, my world has shifted
Cause love is patient, yeah, love is kind
I feel it in my heart, I feel it in my mind
Growth is often painful and quite scary, too
Sometimes I’m lost and my life is at cost
Nothing to see, no way to feel, a no purpose life
Come help me now and take me out of my dark past
Doubting’s ungifted, my spirits lifted
My life is scripted, my world has shifted
Cause love is patient, yeah, love is kind
I feel it in my heart, I feel it in my mind
Because of you, I share what’s true to the rest of mankind
A love that lives, a love that breathes, a love that lasts for all time
And when we meet, I hope I see that the love that’s inside
Has always breathed with every breathe that I look in my life
