ALBUM: LET THE UNIVERSE WORK THIS OUT

Let The Universe Work This Out

Lyrics

I used to sprint toward every maybe,
Chase the clock like it owed me favors.
Tried to force the future early,
Pulled the petals, counted the layers.
Every sign said slow your breathing,
Every door said not just yet.
Turns out timing’s got a rhythm,
You don’t rush what hasn’t met.

I was knocking on tomorrow,
With yesterday’s shoes on tight.
But the stars don’t read our schedules,
They just show up when it’s right.

Let the Universe work this out, I'll wait,
With my hands open wide.
Let the Universe do its magic,
While I’m living my life.
Let The Universe pull the strings,
No begging the sky for a sign.
What’s meant for me knows my address,
It’ll find me right on time.

I used to overthink the silence,
Read too much between the lines.
But quiet’s just the Universe,
Writing in invisible ink sometimes.

Let the Universe work this out, I'll wait,
With my hands open wide.
Let the Universe do its magic,
While I’m living my life.

Let The Universe pull the strings,
No begging the sky for a sign.
What’s meant for me knows my address,
It’ll find me right on time.

Now I’m learning how to surrender,
Trust the road that’s yet to be.
Every twist and every turn,
Is a part of my journey, can’t you see?

So I’ll sit back and watch the sunrise,
Let the colors paint my skies.
With every beat of my heart I know,
The Universe is on my side.

Yeah, let the Universe work this out, I'll wait,
With a smile on my face.
What’s meant for me knows my address,
I’ll find it in this space.

We Didn't Mean To Find This

Lyrics

I wasn’t looking for a hand to hold,
I was learning how to walk alone,
Coffee cooling, late September rain,
Just another day I wouldn’t name.
You were laughing at a broken sign,
That said “Closed” but the door stood wide,
We stood there like we had nowhere to go,
So we didn’t go.

No fireworks,
No clever lines,
Just a moment,
Out of time.

We didn’t mean to find this love,
It wasn’t prayed for, wasn’t planned,
It came in quiet, came undone,
We didn't mean we don’t quite understand.
No roses thrown, no vows above,
Just two souls who chose to stay,
We didn’t mean to find this love,
But it found us anyway.
You talked about the way you leave,
Before things start to matter deep,
I said nothing, sipped my drink,
Let the silence do the thinking.
Outside, the city kept its pace,
Cars passed like they didn’t care,
But something settled in my chest,
And stayed there.

We didn’t mean to find this love,
It wasn’t prayed for, wasn’t planned,
It came in quiet, came undone,
We didn't mean we don’t quite understand.
No roses thrown, no vows above,
Just two souls who chose to stay,
We didn’t mean to find this love,
But it found us anyway.
Maybe fate had a hand in this,
A little twist of irony,
Two hearts drifting in the mist,
Found a home in harmony.

We share stories, laughter and fears,
In the comfort of shared cups and tears,
Each little moment feels so right,
We didn’t mean to, but it’s our night.

So here we are, no maps to chart,
Just two stray beats in a single heart,
And though we might have turned away,
This love found us, come what may.

Women Of Tomorrow

Lyrics

She woke before the sunrise, hands steady, heart strong,
Built a future brick by brick, though the nights were long.
From the fields to the classrooms, from the streets to the stars,
She carried generations, left her fingerprints on ours.

She spoke when silence ruled the room,
Stood her ground, made history move,
Every step a promise kept,
Every breath a truth she proved.

The Women of Tomorrow have their place in History,
They built this nation stronger, it's not a mystery.
The women of yesterday really helped pave the way,
The women of tomorrow have the biggest job of the day.
I love the women of tomorrow, yeah, yeah, yeah.

With dreams woven deep in the tapestries of night,
They rise like the dawn, bringing hope to the fight.
In the face of the storm, they blossom and thrive,
Creating paths of courage, keeping legacies alive.

They listen when the world seems loud,
Breaking chains, they stand unbowed,
Every voice a rising tide,
Together they’ll change the other side.

From the mountains to the valleys, hear their spirits sing,
With every little heartbeat, you can feel the change they bring.
They’re the laughter in our gardens, the light in every day,
In the fabric of our stories, forever they will stay.

So let us raise a glass to the souls who came before,
To the Women of Tomorrow, we'll echo evermore.
With each song we sing, let their memory play,
For the women of tomorrow will lead the way.
Yeah, I love the women of tomorrow, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Static On The River

Lyrics

Woke up late, phone buzzin’ like a diesel train,
News feed floodin’ with a hurricane of pain.
Coffee cold, world’s on fire before nine,
Everybody preachin’, nobody got time.

They say swipe left, swipe right, find your way,
But the map keeps changin’ every day.

There’s static on the river, can’t hear the song,
Too many voices sayin’ who’s right, who’s wrong.
Too Much Static on the River, somethin’ real,
Tryin’ to remember how the ground used to feel.

Billboard prophets sell salvation cheap,
Promise you the stars if you don’t sleep.
Livestream rage in a midnight glow,
Everybody shoutin’, but nobody knows.

They got hashtags for the end of days,
But no directions outta this maze.

So let the leaves drift down the stream,
Breathe in deep the solace of a dream.
Find your heartbeats in the silence clear,
Turn the static down, let the truth appear.

Take a walk on the banks of what we’ve been,
Find a little peace where the waters bend.
Lookin’ for the echoes of a song long lost,
In the whispers of the river, we’ll pay the cost.

We’ll sing together in this fading light,
Hold on tight, we’ll make it right.

So let the river flow, wash away the pain,
We’ll find our way back, dance in the rain.
With love in our hearts, we’ll take a stand,
Erase the static, just hold my hand.

Man's Best Friend

Lyrics

Sunrise on a dusty road, boots on the ground,
He’s waggin’ that tail like the world’s comin’ ‘round.
Knows every whistle, every nod of my head,
Reads my heart better than the words I never said.
Through fields of gold and timberline bends,
He don’t ask questions—he just follows and defends.
From the porch light glow to the river’s far end,
I learned what loyalty is from my old best friend.

A dog is Man's best friend, he don’t need praise,
Just a kind word and a hand on his face.
My best friend, through thick and thin,
That dog beside me—man’s best friend.
Yeah, he lives to love, and he loves to please,
A faithful soul with a heart that’s free.
When the world gets rough, he stands and defends,
That dog beside me—man’s best friend.

Out in the woods with the morning still,
He moves like a shadow, calm and chill.
Nose to the wind, he's got that instinct clear,
When the blues come knockin’, he’s always near.
He’s got my back through the thick and thin,
With a wag of his tail, I know I’ll never sin.
Through storms and trials, we weather it all,
With my loyal hound, we stand proud and tall.

When the world gets rough, he stands and defends,
That dog beside me—man’s best friend.

He don’t judge me when I’ve made mistakes,
Just sits right beside me, whatever it takes.
In a world that’s shiftin’, he stays the same,
A constant reminder that love is his game.

So here's to the moments we share on this land,
To the laughter, the heartache, with a paw in my hand.
Man’s best friend, he’s the life of the ride,
With that gleam in his eye, I know he’s by my side.

The Quillow Man

Lyrics

I was born and raised on a family farm,
Life was simple, but it had its charm.
Went to college, found a lady so fine,
Thought raising kids would be our lifeline.
In the rural country, not much to do,
My wife had a spark, she had a vision too.
She made a quilt that folded into a pillow,
Called it a Quillow; man, what a thrill though!

They called me the Quillow Man, oh yeah, he's the Quillow Man,
Stacking up the fabric, yeah, you know I had a plan.
Bought it from the best, VIP and Fabri Quilt,
Pillow panels for dreams, never felt that guilt.
Yeah, I was the Quillow man, flying from town to town,
Had no sewing skills, but I wore my crown.

Next thing you know, this farm boy's dreams unfurled,
Trading feedin' cows for a runway world.
Fashion shows in LA, couldn’t believe my eyes,
Pretty girls in fancy clothes, oh, what a surprise!
All I could say was, 'Wowzers! Holy Toledo!'
They don't make 'em like this back home, you know.
Holy cow! Man, oh man! See those legs,
That fancy hair, I'm just counting my dregs.

They called me the Quillow Man, oh yeah, he's the Quillow Man,
Turning dreams into stardust, you know I can.
From fabric swatches to a life so grand,
With each stitch, I built my own brand.
Yeah, I was the Quillow man, dodging every doubt,
With my head held high, man, I figured it out.

Now the city lights shine like stars above,
But nothing beats the fields, or the one I love.
Miss the dirt roads and the smell of the hay,
But the Quillow life's got me hustling each day.
From small-town dreams to a life on display,
I’m the Quillow Man, paving my own way.

So here's to the farmers, the dreamers, the grind,
Chasing our passions, leaving doubts behind.
With each quillow stitch, I'm crafting my fate,
And if you have a dream, man, don’t hesitate.
You might be surprised at where it could lead,
From a farm in the sticks to the top of the feed.

So when you see me rollin', know I’m living free,
Quillow in my bag, just you wait and see,
Country boy with grit, got my dreams in my hand,
I’m the Quillow Man, living wild and grand.

Growing Old Gracefully

Lyrics

I don’t run as fast as I used to run,
But I know which roads are true.
I’ve learned which storms will pass me by,
And which ones make me new.
Every wrinkle’s got a story,
Every scar’s a badge of grace.
I finally like the mirror,
When I look myself in the face.

I’ve traded chasing shadows,
For standing in the sun.
Turns out the best years of my life,
Ain’t over, they’ve begun.

I’m growing older gracefully,
Like a song that’s found its key.
I don’t need to prove a thing,
Just growing older just me.
I’ve got less fear and more faith now,
More laughter, less regret.
I’m growing older gracefully,
And these are the best days yet.

I don’t need the crowd to notice,
I don’t need the loud applause.
I’ve learned the quiet moments,
Are what matter most of all.
I choose my battles wisely now,
I sleep a little better too.
I’ve learned that saying “no” sometimes,
Just means saying “yes” to truth.

Guitar solo that echoes the spirit of the past,
Reminding me of moments that were built to last.
Every note a reflection of the wisdom I've gained,
As the music swells, I’m never feeling drained.

With every cup of coffee, I savor every sip,
Life’s just a winding road on this old cowboy trip.
I dance with my shadows, I sing to the moon,
Finding peace in the chaos, it’s never too soon.

I’m growing older gracefully,
Like a song that’s found its key,
I don’t need to prove a thing,
Just growing older just me.
I’ve got less fear and more faith now,
More laughter, less regret.
I’m growing older gracefully,
And these are the best days yet.

So here’s to the road ahead,
The miles I’ve yet to roam,
With every step I’m taking,
I’m right where I belong.
I’m growing older gracefully,
The best is yet to be,
Every day’s a little brighter,
And I’m finally just me.

Starlight Over Giza

Lyrics

Out where the desert keeps its secrets,
Underneath a copper sun,
Stands a shape that mocks the ages,
Daring time to come undone.
Every stone a whispered question,
Every shadow hides a clue,
Who could lift these mountain monuments,
Long before the world we knew?

No chisel marks, no broken pathways,
Just precision in the sand…
As if guided by a knowledge,
Not born of human hands.

Oh, starlight over Giza, did you watch them come and go?
Silver ships in silent circles, glowing soft and low.
Travelers from the heavens, carving stories in the land,
Leaving us a wonder no one truly understands.
Were they angels? Were they dreamers?
Were they sailors of the sky?
All that’s left are pyramids,
Still pointing homeward high.

Ancient winds recall the evening,
When the constellations burned,
And the dunes became a landing place
For visitors who’d journeyed far beyond our turning world.
Eyes like liquid sapphire, set on mysteries untold,
Together we’ll unravel tales of courage, brave and bold.

No fear of the unknown,
No shackles to hold fast,
Just a bond of exploration,
A future that's unsurpassed.

So let’s dance under the cosmos,
In the shadows of the great,
Feel the magic all around us,
In the silence, let’s create.
With every star that lights the night,
We’ll find strength to lost embrace,
The echoes of the past will guide,
A journey we will face.

So under starlight over Giza, let’s take our love and soar,
With the mysteries of the ages, we’re forever wanting more.
Hand in hand, we’ll chase the shadows,
Finding joy in every glance,
In the heart of old Giza, we’ll forever take our chance.

San Francisco

Lyrics

There was a time when the fog rolled in like poetry,
Streetcars sang on shining rails, wild and free,
Painted ladies standing proud on every hill,
Dreamers came with hearts on fire and iron will.

From the harbor lights to the red bridge glow,
Every alley hummed with a hopeful flow,
You could taste tomorrow in the ocean air—
A promise rising everywhere.

We remember the laughter drifting through the night,
Music pouring from windows, neon burning bright,
It’s not just memory calling us home—
It’s the future saying, “Build what you’ve known.”

San Francisco across the bay again,
Let compassion be the currency of men,
San Francisco from these storied streets,
Bring back the rhythm where the heartbeat meets.
San Francisco we’ll stand for what is true—
A city reborn in gold and blue.
Oh, lift her high for the whole world to see—
San Francisco once again!

Echoes of the past dance upon the breeze,
Creating new stories with the greatest of ease,
Every corner whispers, “Come and take a walk,”
The heart of the city beats, it pulses, it talks.

From the Painted Ladies to the bustling wharf,
Let’s raise our voices, come and join the chorus,
Electric vibes flowing like the tides at sea,
In this urban jungle, come and just be free.

So here’s to the moments echoing in time,
In a city of dreams, we’ll continue to climb,
San Francisco, with every strum and beat,
Your spirit carries on, your heart is our heat.

True Love

Lyrics

I was looking for my one true love,
In all the wrong places,
Half-lit rooms, dingy old bars,
In churches and many spaces.
Thought happiness was hiding under neon lights,
But you showed me your heart, now everything feels right.

True love don’t shout, it listens close in the quiet,
Stays when the sparks fade low and the nights get riot,
It knows every crack in your voice, every scar you hide,
Still says I choose you, walking gently by your side.

We’ve traveled these backroads, dust in the air,
With every mile, I know you’re always there,
From the sunsets on the horizon to the cool morning dew,
True love’s a journey, and I’m lost in you.
You didn’t save me from the fall—
You made the fall feel like flying,
Wrapped in the warmth of your arms,
There’s no fear of trying.

Dancing under the moonlight, shadows on the ground,
With you by my side, I never feel that I’ll drown,
Your laugh is my anthem, your smile’s my refrain,
Together we’re building, weathering the rain.

This is true love,
Not the lightning, but the electricity,
That keeps the city breathing at night.
Not the firework, but the stars,
True love after applause is gone.
True love is the sentence,
Life was circling for years,
True love covers up the tears
And washes away the fears.
So here’s to forever, here’s to our days,
True love, my darling, it’s in so many ways,
Through thick and thin, we rise above,
Nothing compares to the strength of our true love.

I'm Still Breathing

Lyrics

I learned my name from a hand-me-down Bible,
From a photograph faded to sepia truth.
I learned the world don’t owe me a promise,
But it hums when I listen… if I do.
I chased every dream with a pocket full of doubt,
Tripped on my shadow, learned how to stand.
Every scar taught me something about tomorrow,
Every goodbye held my hand.

Some days I’m brave, some days I’m broken,
Some days I’m praying just to feel okay.
But the sun keeps rising like it’s never been hurt,
And that’s enough to make me stay.
I’m still breathing, so I’m not done yet,
Still believing in the good I haven’t met.
I’m still breathing, but it’s honest and true,
Every heartbeat says, “There’s still something to do.”
I’ve been lost, I’ve been free, I’ve been everything in between—
If I’m still breathing, then I’m still dreaming.

I’ve loved people I couldn’t save,
And I’ve let go when I believed I should fight.
The tears become rivers, washed away with the rain,
But I’ll rise again like the morning light.
I’ve built my fort from the ashes of doubt,
Fired up my spirit, let it rain down proud.
When the weight of the world tries to hold me back,
I just turn up the guitar, let the music loud.

Some days I’m brave, some days I’m broken,
Some days I’m praying just to feel okay.
But the sun keeps rising like it’s never been hurt,
And that’s enough to make me stay.

I’m still breathing, so I’m not done yet,
Still believing in the good I haven’t met.
I’m still breathing, but it’s honest and true,
Every heartbeat says, “There’s still something to do.”
I’ve been lost, I’ve been free, I’ve been everything in between—
If I’m still breathing, then I’m still dreaming.

Let the winds of tomorrow guide my restless heart,
With my boots on the ground, I’ll embrace every part.
Cause life is a journey, it’s got ups and downs,
And I’ll keep on singing through the tears and the sounds.

Yeah, I’m still breathing, let the fire ignite,
With my heart wide open, I’ll continue the fight.
If I’m still breathing, I know my song’s not through,
I’m still dreaming, oh I’m still breathing too.
