A REASON TO BE
A REASON TO DREAM, A REASON TO THINK I HAVE A CHANCE TO SET THESE GHOSTS IN SIDE ME FREE

Rockbottom

Verse
t's not important why| started
What is, I couldn't control it
It started out as a slow slide down
Then it started picking up speed and gaining ground
Chorus
Until I hit rock bottom
thought that was as low as you could go
And its a long climb back to the top But you better start climbing and you better not stop
Cause once you hit rock bottom
You're gonna find out and have to face it
Rock Bottom has a basement
Verse
Ijust started climbing back up And it is a struggle everyday
But if I quit I know what happens next
I'll be on the downhill slilde
I'll go all the way
Bridge
Lots of mountain tops have high sheer cliffs
Some rivers have waterfalls
Some roads have a ditch
But one thing for sure and know it very well
Rockbottom's basement has the fiery pits of Hell
Chorus
Untill hit rock bottom
I thought that was as low as you could go
And its a long climb back to the top But you better start climbing and you better not stop
Cause once you hit rock bottom
You're gonna find out and have to face it
Rock Bottom has a basement

Who Saves The Saver

Who saves the Saver: Jessee Lee and Arianna Emmons
Verse
I’d light myself on fire to keep a stranger warm
And even take a bullet for a friend
Run through a field of lightning in a thunderstorm
If I knew it’d save a good soul in the end
But who saves the saver?
I’ve always been the one with a cool and steady hand
I’d grab a broom and clean up any mess
The rock in my family, a good place to cry
But I’ve poured my cup and i’ve got nothing left
So who saves the saver?
Chorus
When the strong one needs someone and nobody knows
Cause you’ve always been the one to carry all the heavy load
But when you’re living on your last hope and prayer
Who saves the saver?
Verse
It ain’t that I mind, putting myself last
Or giving every ounce of this ol’ heart
I just wish sometimes, someone would stop and ask
If I need a place to fall apart
But who saves the saver?
Chorus
When the strong one needs someone and nobody knows
Cause you’ve always been the one to carry all the heavy load
When you’ve given all your best to every taker
Who saves the saver?
Bridge
Maybe God or someone else that ain’t just worried bout themselves
No I can’t always do it, cause man I’m only human
Chorus
When the strong one needs someone and nobody knows
You feel like such a burden when you let the hurtin’ show
This world don’t do the broken any favors
In the end it’s only the creator
Who saves the saver

Still In The Fight

Verse:
As a boy always felt was called to serve
But there's no way a boy could comprehend
That one day he'd find himself making peace with God Laying in that blood soaked desert sand
Just when I thought my life was through,
God made it clear to me that I've got more to do
Chorus
I'm still in the fight,
I've been given one more day
So l'llkeep trusting that God's light is gonna help me find my way
Ikow he's got a greater plan even in the darkest night, and though I'm not a perfect man, I'm still in the fight I'm still in the fight
Verse:
Movin' on ain't easy,
When you've seen the things
I've seen, It's hard to lay those memories down
I tried everything, but I figured out that some demons just wont
drown.
The doctors told me it was all in my head
But know I saw an angel, there at my hospital bed
Chorus
So I'm still in the fight,
I've been given one more day.and Til keep trusting that God's light is gonna help me find my way
know he's got a greater plan, Even in the darkest night And thought I'm not a perfect
man
I'm still in the fight
Bridge:
Now have two pretty girls
With their whole lives to live
Til be right here for them
Cause I've got more to give

Sober
03:22

Daddy worked hard To make ends meet
I grew up in those Chiques streets
Home ain't always the safest place to be
Grandpa was a Navy man
A legend in my mind
He passed away before he could see me shine
Before he could see me shine
Running from demons
Chasing ghosts
Burning every bridge that could take me back home
Wishing all this madness would just to be over
And start get sober
Went in to be a Ranger left as a green beret
Lost a lot of brothers along the way
That's when my demons all came to play
I found out that lost Shawn. the same day I brought baby James home
That's when things started slipping away
Running from demons
Chasing ghosts
Burning every bridge that could take me back home
Wishing all this madness would just to be over trying to stay sober
The hardest mission I ever had was learning
being my kids dad
But a slip and a drink ruined all that
I've been dancing with the devil in the dark
It's never too late to make a new start
Face my faults with a warrior's heart
No more
Running from demons
Chasing ghosts
I building every bridge that could take me home
this madness is finally over
Im sober
