this is the struggle over being content with who u are as a person. i believe we should strive and hope to become better then we are, and that the trials of life can be used to change us for the better. it's a long hard wait sometimes though.
My goal as a songwriter is to capture a moment in time that so perfectly describes where one is at, they can't help but be enamored by the song they hear. I ne
When Jesus went into the temple to drive out the priests making money off the people, he took a whip with him. I'd like to be as effective as that whip. I'd like to see the music I write allow people to take the mask off, and the junk that's in their eyes, to see the world, God, and themselves in a different way. A real way. Something that isn't tainted by religion, image, and false impressions. I would really like to develop a band, but mostly I just want people to have a chance to hear what I'm about.

Story behind the song
My wife recorded this with me a couple of years ago. we actually were only practicing, but never got the chance to record it for real (non of my recordings are that good right now). Some of the lyrics have been changed, but the basic structure of the song remains the same.
Lyrics
I don't know who I am is who you'd like me to be. It's sometimes hard to pretend I'm happy that I'm me. As the story of my life goes on, problems faced and overcome, I have this prayer... Take me down the path you've chosen. through this life until it's over. Lord, for you know all my thoughts and deepest heartache. Every move I'm gonna make before I do. And yet you still love me Every place I've been I've wanted to run away. But everywhere that I went I found that I was the same. Well, I cannot hide from who I am, but I 'd rather die then stay the same. so I have this prayer, Lord.. chorus I can blame it on my parents, or even on society, maybe the religious and the fact that i was lied to...so everyone takes the blame for who I am.... I've almost given up time and time again, but God you've paid attention to the smallest little detail and counted every tear that's fallen from my face... take me down the path you've chosen...
