Me (Richard) and my guitar.
I have two other bands. They pretty much consist of the same people. I have gotten tired of placing my solo stuff on those sites, so here I am. My name is Richard Benavides, and I sing from my heart. I don't have awesome equipment, and I don't have even a set band behind me here. I love God, but sometimes I complain about things.

Story behind the song
I was motivated by a desire to leave all of these petty things behind, for the life God meant us to live.
Lyrics
Where do I go from here? It's been 22 long years, and it feels like I've spent my whole life enslaved to my fears. I'm longing for something more. This time I'm out the door. It's time to face the world and show them what I'm living for. No more will these eyes merely watch as time goes by. I won't turn and run, until I'm done and headed for the sky. I'm gonna fly... my feet won't touch the ground. No, I won't be brought down, but I will stick around. Questioning the way that you've lived up to this day. You know that there is something better no matter what they say. I'm here to tell you why you should spread your wings and fly. Why would you stay here on the ground? You were made for the sky. I won't leave you behind... I won't leave you behind. Spread your wings and fly... Spread your wings and fly. We're gonna fly. Our feet won't touch the ground. We won't be brought down. Till then I'll stick around. Until you fly... ... when your feet come off the ground. ... and you won't be brought down. ... and you'll fly above this down.
